We are very excited to be able to say that our main office now runs on solar pv energy during the day. In fact, when the cloud cover is light we are producing far more energy than we consume, so it gets fed back into the National Grid, reducing (in theory) the UK's carbon footprint.

I have recently been in Canada and wanted to use my iPad whilst I was travelling around. I was hoping this would just be a case of popping into a Telecom store for a micro-SIM card and paying some money. However, it wasn't anywhere that easy...

The iPad is a rather nice, if overpriced gadget, and it is only first generation hardware and software, so the following points are a bit nit-picky. Still, a bit of constructive criticism can often be helpful! So, in rough order of importance...

If you are the proud owner of a shiny new iPad, you may have discovered that syncing high resolution photos to it in iTunes is slow, Very Slow. So, what can be done about it, other than hope Apple optimises iTunes and the sync process in future?

One of our newest clients is Woodlands Organic Farm. We've been a big fan of Woodlands for quite a few years now, as they deliver us wonderful vegetables every two weeks. So when the owner, Andrew Dennis, approached us to ask us to take over the technical admin of their website we were only too happy.

My previous phone was the HTC Tytn II and it provided me with an unprecedented 20 months of faithful service. Normally I can't wait to get rid of a phone once I am out of contract but I loved my Tytn II. Tragically though, a few weeks ago it suddenly went from being in the prime of its life to a creaking old geriatric, all within a few days. First of all the touch screen started intermittently failing, and then the internal speaker went - not ideal when clients can hear me but I can't hear them... An emergency purchase was therefore necessary and now I am the (mostly) very happy owner of the logical upgrade to the Tytn II, the HTC Touch Pro2.

.Net coding can be frustrating, when you're trying and failing to do something simple. In this case, I was trying to enable or disable a RequiredFieldValidator based on some criteria. I knew the ID of the controls I was trying to enable, but due to various templates and custom controls, a normal Page.FindControl() call didn't work.
