Android – keep the screen on when charging

If, like me, you sometimes prefer the screen on your phone to stay on when it is charging, for instance, connected to the USB port resting on your desk at work, then this is how you go about it:

1. Press the menu key
2. Select settings
3. Tap Applications
4. Then Development
5. Now tick the Stay Awake checkbox

You’ve finished. Now, when your phone is charging, you can tap the power button to turn the display on or off.  This doesn’t affect the display time out when the device is not charging.

That concludes my first blog post from my Google Nexus One.

Stop Digsby starting multiple times in windows

After installing Digsby, without the adware, I noticed that it was starting up twice during windows start-up. There is a really easy work-around for this (until it’s fixed).

Work BBQ 2009

Every year my collegues and I get together for a barbecue in the Summer.  Last years was great, the first time Jessica and I had seen eachother for years (leading to us getting together), and also the first year of the glider competition, where everyone is supplied with a kit of balsawood, from which to make a hand launched (chuck) glider.

Welcome

This is my personal weblog.  I plan to keep it updated with a few excerpts from my life and perhaps a few interesting findings that I come accross.  Feel free to comment and provide feedback and join in or link to any posts you find interesting.  If you wish to “borrow” media or content from this site, I share if you share alike and all I ask for is a link back to this site.

Thank you for visiting and enjoy!
