YouTube Closes Down For The Night

Some of you may not be old enough to remember when the BBC used to shut down on a night.

You then got a sequence of random Ceefax pages designed to tease you if you could not afford a TV which supported Teletext!

Why you should always test your unsubscribe process

Clicking the unsubscribe link in a recent email I received presented me with the above page. (click image to enlarge). Clearly the company in questions has not fully tested the unsubscribe process. 

When running an email campaign you want to ensure the best experience at all times for your recipients. The unsubscribe process should be clean and simple. If they want to leave your list make it quick and painless and avoid any spam reports.

Remember to always test the entire mailing list process including subscribing to your own list and unsubscribing.

T-Mobile iPhone Settings for 3G and MMS

Since posting How to take screen shots on the iPhone I have had literally two emails asking how I got an iPhone on T-Mobile (UK). Firstly why can you not use the comments and at least make it look like some people read my blog :).

Well the iPhone was offered sim free and works without any problems on the T-Mobile network once I popped in my sim. The main question though was what are my settings for 3G and MMS.

These settings are entered under Settings > General > Network > Cellular Data Network

Cellular Data

APN: general.t-mobile.uk
Username: user
Password: wap

MMS

APN: general.t-mobile.uk
Username: user
Password: wap
MMSC: http://mmsc.t-mobile.co.uk:8002
MMS Proxy: 149.254.201.135:8080
MMS Max Message Size: [BLANK]
MMS UA Prof URL: [BLANK]

How to take screen shots on the iPhone

Until now I had no idea how to do this. However thanks to a stranger on the bus (thank you stranger) I now know how.

I am running the 3.2 OS so not sure if this is a recent feature or existed in previous versions.

Basically you just press the Home button and the On/Off/Sleep button (the one on the top of your device) at the same time and the iPhone will take a picture of your screen and save it to the Camera Roll.
