WordPress: Getting WP Super Cache to Work With WordPress PDA & iPhone

Insights2 Comments

I struggled with getting WP Super Cache in full caching mode to work with a mobile device plugin such as WordPress PDA & iPhone for a long time. Awhile back I actually had given up because everything I was doing appeared that it should work but it wasn’t working properly. Needless to say I recently moved the site to a new server and decided to give it another shot. This time I was able to get WP Super Cache working with WordPress PDA and iPhone with ease.

Please realize that this method makes it so all of the mobile browsers do not cache pages but they also do not retrieve pages from the cache. To configure the below properly you have to realize that there are two different things happening which are the fact that mobile browsers should not cache files and they should not read from the cache. Basically if they didn’t cache files but read from the cache they would be reading the cache of the default template that you see in IE. If mobile browsers cached files then they would be caching the mobile template so when typical browsers such as Internet Explorer or Firefox visited the same pages they would be viewing the mobile cache instead of the default template you have configure.

Configure Evernote For Offline Access on iPhone or iPod Touch Via IMAP

Insights22 Comments

I recently started using Evernote to store all of the notes I take on a daily basis across plarforms. Evernote allows me to take notes and sync between numerous computers, my T-Mobile Blackberry Curve, and my iPod Touch. One thing that Evernote lacks is a solid method for accessing my notes when I am out of range of an Internet connection. I was pleased to learn that you can actually access your notes offline via IMAP and even though it is not ideal its good enough for now since every other part of Evernote is top notch.

Assign Voicemail To a Speed Dial Key on a T-Mobile BlackBerry 8320 Curve

Insights4 Comments

Awhile back I accidentally assigned a Speed Dial key to the number 1 on my BlackBerry 8320 Curve cell phone. The problem with this is that the 1 key is reserved for Voicemail. When VM is dialed with that speed dial key then the Voicemail Settings are used so if you have password protected your voicemail, as noted here, then you can have the password automatically entered when dialing VM by using the 1 Speed Dial key.
