I posted last week about a couple of issues we were experiencing with SharePoint. I made some traction on the Workflow History issue at the end of last week and the revelation was pretty far-reaching, so I’m posting again.
It turns out that the stuff I said about systemupdate was wrong… up to a point.
There is a bug with systemupdate and triggering events, but it’s not the one we thought it was! It turns out that the behaviour we are seeing is correct - systemupdate is supposed to trigger events, just not update things like the modified by and last updated columns. It’s actually the behaviour within a workflow which is at fault, in that events aren’t being triggered when they should be.
Richard’s little mobile blogging app is nice, but he isn’t that responsive to user requests (ie, mine!) so I thought I would see if anything else was out there.
Sadly, the answer appears to be ’not really’
However, I did come across Diarist, from Kevin Daly. Perhaps not surprisingly I am using it now. I must say that two thumb typing on the diamond keyboard is not bad, although nowhere near as fast as the real keyboard on the tytn.
So is diarist better than blogwriter? Well, it’s easier to add links and images… Still no real formatting support though, which is a shame.
Try it for yourself.
That might sound like a strange thing to say, but when my shiny new Touch Diamond, which I picked up from Orange this week, has no Orange branding or customisation of the UI. I hadn’t really noticed that until I went into the manual, where the screenshots are totally different from my phone. I was beginning to wonder if something had gone wrong with the setup process, when I saw this thread at XDA-Developers.
Thanks to the advanced notice from Tracy and Matt’s blog, I picked up my HTC Touch Diamond yesterday from the Orange Store and it’s great!
‘But wait!’ I hear you cry, ‘didn’t he go on about the experia x1 and how he wanted one?’
Well, yes, I did. I admit it - I am fickle in my affections.Since I wrote that post, I have spent time considering what I want in a phone and size has become a significant factor. The Diamond is tiny, it really is. It’s not far from the size of my old Nokia 8910 and it’s lighter than that old warhorse.
