Lab tests galore, news and features
05/12/10 17:44 Filed in: Work
The second half of November and the start of December have been very hectic. As well as working three days a week as an IT Manager I’ve been filing a stack of stories.
At ITNews, I broke a story about Telstra laying off all contractors over the holidays.
Over at ITWire I pushed out a bunch of other stories.
Telstra increases data allowances for free
Wikileaks is the future arrived early
TV vs Computer - computer wins!
Router modding with DD-WRT
ViewSonic ViewTab - iPad killer or pretender?
Galaxy Tab goes on NextG
Businesses are investing in backend, not client says Gartner
Gartner says PC shipments under threat
Review - PADACS Rubata Keyboard Case
BoM delivers new iPhone app
Review - MyNetFone brings VoIP to iPhone
Between those, I’ve managed to do a couple of Lab Tests for Australian Macworld as well as more instalments of my monthly iPad column.
iPad: The external brain
Lab Test: Prints charming
iPad: FileMaker is Go!
Lab Test: Jacks of all trades
Lab Test: Internet on the move
Finally, I’ve done some work for Government Tech Review.

Profiles, case studies and reviews

It’s certainly getting busy. In the publishing world, everything pretty much stops through the second half of December through to January. However, monthly mags don’t always take a month off so the production schedule for the December or January issues usually have shorter deadlines. That means that while December and January are quiet, October and November are extremely busy.
At the moment I’m working os features about end-point computer management, profiles and case studies and another lab test - this time on portable hard drives.

Some recent updates

It’s been a while since I last posted but I’ve been quite busy with several business trips, plenty of articles and some contract work as an IT manager.
As well as several features for Australian Macworld covering mobile Internet, travel tech, printers and the new Microsoft Office 2011 I’ve done several stories for ITNews including Five reasons to run iOS 4 for iPad, Fuji Xerox goes consumer, challenges channel and participation in an online forum during the recent Australian election.
Over at ITWire, I’ve also published several stories including:
Windows Phone - Lucky 7?
Review - Kodak Pulse Digital Photo Frame
Gartner says Android to dominate smartphone market
Google Priority Inbox - auto-sorting the sheep from the goats
Review: Toshiba Portégé R700
Global Mobile data traffic nearly triples in 1 year
In print, I’ve also written stories for Government Technology Review and CRN. Government Technology Review has a feature on PC Lifecycle Management (see page 36 of the Issue 2 PDF) and a case study that will appear in Issue 3 soon. For CRN, I took a look at the state of Windows 7 a year after its release.

Lots of Apple updates, Toshiba, routers and more
I’ve been a busy boy of late. Since returning from my European study tour, I’ve been writing a number of interesting stories. Some have been straight news and others have been features. Both are the sorts of work I’m really enjoy doing. Here’s a run down of some of work that can be found online.
ITWire:
iPad accessories wrap - cases and a stand
iPhone 4 Antennagate - more distorted reality?
Toshiba celebrates with new models and tablet
Intel's silicon photonics to revolutionise computing
Apple releases new trackpad and 27-inch display, updates Mac Pro and iMac
Which iPhone 4 plan is best for you?
Apple gives Safari extensions
iPhone 4 calendar scramble
iPhone 4 accessories tax
I’ve also written a feature for a new publication called Government Technology Review. I can;t say too much as the issue I’ve written for isn’t out yet but you can head over to the website and check out the inaugural issue.
As usual, I’ve also written my monthly columns for Australian Macworld. The site was recently revamped and given a new, more Apple-like look.
This week, I’ll be getting started on my next feature for Australian Macworld on photo printers, my iPad column and some other work that’s a little bit of a secret.
I’ve also been registering a new domain or two for another little project I’m planning to start up as well as giving my other project, Netbook Mojo, some much needed attention. While I’ve been launching myself as 100% self-employed I’ve had to put some other tasks on the backburner.
Finally, I was interviewed for a story on the iPad by experienced The Age scribe John Mangan. The story can be found on The Age’s website or in today’s (Sunday, 1 August 2010) issue.

Back after a break

I’ve been quiet over the last three weeks or so as I’ve been travelling around western Europe on a study tour. One of the things I got to do is take a Panasonic Lumix TZ10 camera with me for the ride. Given that I’d be shooting photos within museums under low light with no flash as well as lots of outdoor stuff in bright sunshine, this seemed like a good way to give the camera a decent test.
