This will also help those in other countries including the USA but its more likely to work naturally in the USA.

However tried and tested this method does work.
Firstly you will need a strong 3g connection or a WiFi connection.(can be done on slower speeds takes longer with map stage.)

Step 1. Open Maps app on iPhone and search for location or drop pin manually.




Step 2. Click on the blue arrow next to the place name tag and from the following page choose add to contacts at the bottom.




you may already have a contact for the place (dad’s house) etc. simply add to existing or create new contact.

Step 3. Once saved click edit top right.

Step 4. Scroll down to add field, tap add field.




Step 5. Scroll down to related people and tap on related people.




Step6. Scroll down to add field




usually it will automatically add Mother as the default.

Step 7. Tap Mother and scroll down to add custom label




Step 8. Name your custom label as the location ( this is what you will tell siri to use) click save (top right) then click cancel.
Mother should now have changed to your new label name.


Step 9. in the new label box where is says name write the same information as you just did for the label name.



(you may have to untick the mother label)

Step 10. Click done


Step 11. Exit all apps, press and hold home button to activate siri. say command “remind me to ????? when I arrive(or leave) at ???”(eg: remind me to ask a question about cameras when I arrive at Sussex cameras” …..all being well siri should do as he/she is told.

Any way that you choose to modify the registry the system will require a restart to take effect, however you don’t have to restart immediately but the debounce will not be switched off until a restart has occurred else the script will not work.

While this seems like great news i had a chat with a Bt technician the other day who was working on the Chichester – Singleton Fiber optic upgrade and it was his opinion that while the Exchange at Chichester is fibre ready the cabling to streets and houses was not.
It seems that it is more likely that work will commence on rolling out the necessary cables and local junction boxes on or around that date and the BT Infinity firbe optic broadband service will go live shortly after (i would estimate around end of October).

If your coming to the end of your Current broadband contract it maybe worth not renewing or changing your current supplier to get a better deal and hold out for 6 -7 months for possible fiber optic broadband at the end of 2012 rather than taking out a 12 or 18 month contract and not being able to move over until spring / summer 2013. That said if your with BT during the go live they will let you upgrade to fiber without charge.

The Upgrade process is fairly simple but it take a while first they have to run new fibre cables along side the current copper ones these will terminate in new boxes that will appear alongside the current GPO green boxes where the current copper wires terminate, the fiber optics will then be patched through to the copper boxes at near your house.
Because it would be exceptionally costly to run new fibres into each house individually at some point Bt will have to use existing copper wires from your house to the local box so dependent on how far you live from you local green box expect to receive somewhere between 20-35mbps speeds.

there are many password generators out there but are they any good recent tests have shown that with automatic password cracking software an 8 character password can be done in an hour and a half (1.5 hrs) which all things considered isnt very long at all, and that includes ” special ” characters !@#$%^&() and so on.

the key to a secure password is length just by extending the length of your password by 4 charachter to 12 this 1.5hr cracking time would incrase to an estimated 17,134 years. i think we all agree that probably covers most of our life spans.


so how do you go about how to create a secure password?

As mentioned above it doesnt have to contain special charaters however some websites require at least 1 number to form part of your password
some security experts recommend just using 3 or 4 short ramdom words that you wont forget (3×4 letters or 4 x 3 letters)
eg. Pink Pigs Fly Sky ( ok so thats 14 charaters) but you can see 4 easy words but when used together pinkpigsflysky thats a dammed secure password
so what about those websites that require a number? simplicty is the key here.
Just change 1 or more vowels to numbers i=1 e=3 a=4 o=0 by using numbers the passwords become only slightly more secure so theres no need to change all of the voewls.

Another way to make an easy to use password is to take someone or 2 peoples names and add your part of your date of birth this could be your something like this “mum01011990dad” replacing mum and dad with acutal names and choosing just a few numbers ie: just the day or month / year or short year ‘mum1990dad’.

You may well be worried about people knowing your passwords and watching you type them in and hacking your bank or other websites like facebook.
heres another tip first create your new password. and update all your regurlar sites that you visit with it.
then for those high secuirty websites that your worried about choose the same password but inlcude 1 or 2 random caps on the letter ‘muM1990Dad’
anyone watching you will think you typed in your normal password but wont see you holding the shift key (if your fast or clever enough).

You dont have to put the number in the middle it can be on either end.

Start the new year safe! make this one resolution that you keep.

turns out that the ios5 that runs on iphone 4s is slightly different to that of the iphone 4 and iphone 3gs each phone containing different firmware as well so if you get a new iphone and restore it from the old iphones back up you end up confusing it basicly.

The FIX:
to fix this isnt as bad as it first seems.
1. Firstly open itunes and goto edit and preferences, click on the devices tab and jsut have a mental note of your last back up.
2. now plug in your iphone and right click it ( from the left coloumn and run a fresh back up.
3. go back to preferences and make a note of the time/date of the back up you just ran.
4. delete all previous back ups leaving just the new one.
5. Right click on the iphone again and choose restore.
6. When prompted YOU MUST CHOOSE SET UP IPHONE AS NEW PHONE. (very important ) else this fix wont work.
7. Once the restore has completed and the phone is set up as new ( you may need to change the name of the phone) you can then restore from the back up you made earlier.
8. during the restore the phone will make a new back up . its very important that you dont use this one as the back up and use the earlier one.
9. restart phone and you should now have inscreased battery life and text alerts that sound normal.

hope you found this helpful.
