How to change your twitter account in Flipboard

I recently changed my password on Twitter as i had been using the same one for a while. The moment i hit the change button i released what i had done and the extra work i had created, going through and updating the password on all of the third party apps and services i use.

After about 30 minutes i came to update my details on Flipboard but couldn’t find where i did this. In the end i deleted the account and then recreated it again, this time with the new password.

As far as im aware this is the only way to do it but if anyone else knows of a better way please let me know.

iPad not charging (but really it is)

This is a really quick post and more of a snippet of info to anyone else who has tried to charge an iPad from a laptop and got the ‘not charging’ message.

Well this week before, the night before a big meeting I thought ’sod it’ and left it plugged into my Thinkpad. Next morning when I unplugged it, hey presto it was fully charged. I even tested it to make sure it wasn’t a false reading.

So anyone with a laptop ignore the ‘not charging’ message, it’s charging.

How the iPad has changed the way i do business

As im sat here waiting for my wife at Relish, a small coffee shop in Hartford Cheshire i thought i would share my experience of living with my iPad for 1 week. After taking a sip of my latte, I signed into Foursquare and checked in, added a few notes to Evernote from this afternoons meeting and look at the tasks for me to action this afternoon on my email.

Normally this would be done on my laptop using a wifi hotspot spot on my o2 dongle but not this time, all of the above was done on my iPad, including the meeting, which i managed without the need for power cable or print out. Not only this but the impact i had in the meeting and in the wider office after, simply by using this tool was more than any presentation on a laptop ever could.

Even when the hype dies down and everyone has one, simply put the iPad is a game changer for the way i do business. Never again will i see my laptop as the first option when presenting. If any more evidence is needed, last Friday, the day after i got it, The Raft won another project, simply by a client seeing a slide deck on-screen and him realising the potential for his sales force using this tool and the image it projected about the company.

Don’t get me wrong there are still a few niggles with iPad, the occasional freeze in the Wordpress app, Keynote not being quite as good as the full version on the Mac and one today of not being able to see a Flash banner on a clients site but these are vastly out wayed by the benefits and that’s coming from someone whom has never owned or even considered buying an apple computer!

So whats next?

More of the same, in fact i am due to receive the VGA lead tomorrow so i can route it through the plasmas etc. This is so im ready in time for a crucial client, all agency meeting on Monday. Im hoping no one else will be using an iPad to present and can still squeeze the last ounce of juice from the impact of using it. Maybe i will update this post on how it performed…
