First Experience with a Samsung Support Center (Smashed Camera Lense on Samsung S7)

Image
So in the past when I have had an Issue with my Iphone all I have had todo arrange a time slot and go into the Apple shop and they have always achieved to sort me out with a replacement phone. Now I have not had a my latest Samsung S7 for long but I have now started to experience multiple issues. First was the headphone jack would not allow for Remote control or allow for the headset mic to work. I had contacted Samsung and they said don't worry just drop it into a support center. I first needed to go on a business trip before going to the support center, unfortunately during that time the rear camera glass randomly broke, the phone is protected by an Otterbox, is always in a pocket on its own and there is no damage on the case itself. Apparently this seems to be a well documented issue displayed on many forums.

Quick way to convert plain text to HTML for Email templates

If your HTML and CSS skills are lacking or are not as good as they should be then you should consider an HTML editor ( https://html-cleaner.com/ ) that will allow you to copy and paste plain text, edit it and then copy out the marked up HTML. Now I will only use this method if I need to quickly change or update a basic HTLM template usually you can edit the template in a WYSIWYG editor inside MailChimp or similar but if you need to create a basic HTML for your email something like :  https://html-cleaner.com/ is not a bad choice for quickly getting the text out. If Mandrill the service we used included a editor inside Mandrill and not in another service (MailChimp) then this would be perfect.   If you would like to get in touch or have any questions then  please do not hesitate to get in contact.

2 Weeks in with the Macbook Pro

2 Weeks in with the Macbook Pro So after 2 weeks of using the MacBook Pro,  I have not needed to go back to Windows the only thing I needed was to install Excel as Numbers was not feature rich enough. Using the MacBook Pro is a joy and the hardware is fantastic. I dont really have anything to complain about. If you try to use it like a Windows PC you will not enjoy it but if you accept the workflow of the Mac and adapt to its way you will be happy. The same apply's to Mac users going to Windows. The workflow is much more focused per screen than compared to what windows users expect and may find the focus limiting/ frustrating coming from Windows. Spark Mail - is amazing and has allowed me to deal with email much more effectively instead of hating dealing with outlook everyday. I would say that Spark Mail - is worth getting the mac for  that alone. Sofar I really love the Mac but I still have a place in my life for a Windows Machine too - just make sense that it is fairly recent has...
