Some Examples of End User Stupidity

by Ashley Allen Email

When you work in support, people often ask why your default reaction is to assume that users are idiots. If you have a look at the pictures below, you'll have an idea why...

This is how Amazon takes my payment, right? Note there are 2 cards...

If at first you don't succeed, try installing it loads of times...

So close, yet so far...

I'm getting the most of my £200 by installing Office 9 times...

Nokia E90 Games - Symbian S60 has never been so much fun!

by Ashley Allen Email

If you've read my blog before, you'll probably know that I own a Nokia E90. Obviously it's designed as a business tool, but there are times (on the train, in the hotel, or during an extremely boring meeting) that you just need some games. Well, I'm here to help!

The first game on the list is BombSweeper. You may have guessed already, but for those that haven't, it's a clone of Minesweeper. You can download it here (it's a .jar file - just upload to your E90 and open it to install).

The next game is a true Nokia classic - Snake!

If you've never played Snake, you've obviously been living in a cave... You can download it here. Its an SWF file, so will run on any phone with Adobe Flash player installed.

The next one on the list is Bunny Mastermind. If you remember the original game, you have to match the position and colour of pegs in a certain number of goes. If that's your thing, you can download it here - again its an SWF file.

One of my favourites is Monster Kick (see below):

In this quirky little game, you play as the big monster, who has to kick the little monster as far as possible. It's very simple and very addictive! Download it here (SWF again).

The last two games are all time classics. The first is Pacman.

That's all you need to know... Download it here (SWF).

Last, but by no means least, we have Tetris by Elements Games.

The installer for this can be found here - it's an SIS file, so you can install it directly from the Nokia Phone Suite. This installer is tailored for the Nokia E90, but if you want an installer for a different phone, click on their link above. This will take you to their site, where you can find this game and a load of others (sadly, you have to pay for most of them).

I hope you have as much fun as me playing these - they make a two hour train journey (thanks Network Rail!) much more bearable.

Some sites have complicated layouts, bizarre philosophies or quirky navigation options. Thankfully, all pixdaus.com has is a collection of beautiful photographs.

If you don't, close your eyes and don't look below.

Bluetooth Hacking

by Ashley Allen Email

If you've ever sat on a train and been subjected to a stream of gibberish from someone who thinks that talking loudly in to their phone will make up for the lack of substance in their life, you'll love this :>

Bluetooth hacking is fairly straight forward - the principle is to smash the stack and inject some arbitrary code. Whether that is disconnecting their call, sending texts from their phone or simply accessing their contacts is up to you...

MAKE SURE YOU GET THE PERMISSION OF THE OTHER PHONE'S OWNER BEFORE YOU USE THIS SOFTWARE!

These files should work on any Java enabled phone.

Magic Bluetooth (.jar)
Super Bluetooth v1.07 (.jar)
Super Bluetooth v1.8 (.jar)
