I’ve had the code for a while and I’m using it for a few of my own projects so when a comment on Loading XML in C# with XML Serialisation asked when it was going to be published, I thought I’d better get on with it. So here it is, Release 0.3 of Kajabity Tools Read More
Google Calendar API Returns 403 Forbidden – A Quick Fix
OK, so I just noticed (rather late) that the Events view on the web site I look after isn’t working – it’s blank. After lots of trial and error – and then some Googling, the answer turns out to be that the V2 Google API I was using (Oh, is that what it is?) has Read More
Disappearing Photographs on my Samsung Galaxy S4 Android Phone
This summer we (my Wife, daughters and I) went on a marvellous holiday for a couple of weeks which was well recorded on a variety of cameras and camcorders.

WordPress Theme Displays Wrong Menu
A quick note about WordPress menus as I’ve just resolved a problem myself. I’m in the middle of trying to create a responsive theme for this blog (using Bootstrap 3.2, if you are interested) and when I added the menu using wp_nav_menu to embed it in header.php, and register_nav_menus to declare it in functions.php I Read More

Apache Maven Java Error – was unexpected at this time
While testing changes to the Maven Installer I had this strange error. Simple enough – I had quoted the value for the JAVA_HOME variable. So I had: JAVA_HOME=”C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_07″ Removed the quotes and all worked fine: JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_07 Hope this helps.
Windows Installers for Apache Maven 2 and 3
I’ve updated the installer for Apache Maven 2 – and created a similar one for Apache Maven 3. More usefully, perhaps, I’ve uploaded the sources for them both to GitHub. I’ve also included a Java version check – first of a list of features I thought might be useful – and a set of README Read More
iTunes Insisted My iPhone Wanted Me To Encrypt Backups
This might help you if you encounter the same problem… When I last connected up my iPhone to my laptop it prompted me to install the latest updated to iOS – which I did, naturally.

My First Couple of Weeks with Windows 8 Pro
After a couple of weeks using the newly released Windows 8 on my new Laptop I’m ready to pass on my experiences and offer a few tips. I briefly tried Windows 8 preview a few months ago – but there was nothing that got me excited and, running in a VM, it was painfully slow. Read More
