Today I published my very first YouTube video *yay!*. It’s a preview of one of my iPhone apps, Stay In Touch – with you.
I used a screen recorder for the video itself and then I used iMovie for the finishing touches.
Enjoy the result!
Do you wish you’d see your friends more often?
Are you bad at staying in touch?
Could you use help organizing your social calendar?
If so, the Stay In Touch (SIT) app might be just the thing for you!
SIT helps you keep track of when you saw each friend last and reminds you when you should be getting in touch with them again.
FEATURES:
- Search functionality to find friends
- Color indicators for a quick overview
- Friends ordered by who you should see first
- Switch reminder functionality on or off for each friend individually
- Choose how long beforehand that you want to see the reminder and at which time for each friend individually (days, weeks, months, years)
- Choose how many days, weeks, months or years there should be between appointments for each friend individually
- Add a note to your last seen appointment
- A complete history of when you saw your friends (dates + notes)
- Date when you should make a next appointment automatically calculated for you
- Add friends manually, from your address book or from Facebook.
Follow the easy 4-step process in the user guide (part of the info screen) to get started!
Watch the following screencast to get a feel for the app:

I’ve received quite a lot of unwanted, anonymous calls lately on my iphone. I find it quite annoying and so I tried to find a way to block them. However, apps like these don’t seem to be allowed in the app store. There are a few apps available for jailbroken iphones, but I have no intention on venturing on that road.
As a workaround, I am now using a silent ringtone 
.
How does this work? Well, if you know the number that is bothering you, then you can follow the instructions of Macworld’s Mac OS X Hints here: http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20080522211148943
If you’re, however, like me and you don’t know the number, then you can download the silent ringtone there and do the following:
This way, you’ll hear when a contact in your address book tries to reach you, but you won’t be bothered anymore with any other call.
So peaceful
A while ago I came across a free online backup and file sharing tool, called Dropbox.
Dropbox is available for every OS out there: OS X, Windows, Iphone, Blackberry, Android, … and they have an online interface. When you install their software on your device of choice, it creates a simple folder which you can use like any other folder on your device, with the benefit that it automatically syncs with the data online and any other device on which the software is installed. When you add/remove or alter any content, it will automatically update the content online and on other devices too. This way, you always have the same, up-to-date data anywhere you need it.
Not only can you keep your own documents in sync and have an automatic backup of your data, you can also create a shared folder where you can drop files that you want others to be able to access.
With its 2GB you get a decent amount of online space where you can work with. You can increase this volume by taking their tour, adding a second computer, inviting other people, … or of course, by buying more space.
Download dropbox here and give it a try. I’m sure you’ll love it!
