Switch keyboard from USA to UK

Just found why sometimes my keyboard switches between UK and USA, for example the # key becomes \ and " becomes @. I found that in the advanced keyboard options it was set as a hot key.

Pressing left ALT + Shift switches between the 2 keyboard settings.

Outlook.com delete inbox messages

Just went into my Outlook.com account, which had about 17 pages of messages in my Inbox, I then deleted a few messages (approx 5) and all of a sudden I noticed that the number of pages had gone down to 3!!!

After looking into it the all messages have been put in a sub folder off the deleted directory called POP. I do not know why this has been done, but I think it might relate to the rubbish Outlook.com app on my Android phone. Lately Microsoft just keep causing me problems.

Google Glass - Would you speak to someone wearing them

There has been a lot of talk recently about Google Glass, the glasses you can interact with the web, record photos and video and possibly lots of other stuff. Here are some of my initial thoughts on this new product.

  • How comfortable are they to fit over my current glasses.
  • What are the benefits over using my phone.
  • Does any images or messages get in the way of reality, could this cause problems for example while driving.
  • If someone is wearing a pair, how would you feel speaking to them, knowing that they are recording you.
These are my first thoughts, it will be interesting to see what happens when people start using them.
