I do, but what recipes are you using? For a lot of the things IFTTT can do, I have apps that do it already.

The most I've spent is $5 on Pushover but I kind of regret that given how little I've really used it/needed it.

Ah no. Though you can do this in-app on some apps I think.

This app does a pretty good job: https://play.google.com/store/apps/det…

I have a problem where my notification volume (but not ringer volume) will regularly just drop to zero despite me not touching the phone. I've tried uninstalling any apps that may be causing it to happen but with no joy. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

Problem is, very few companies have an IM system. There is a perception, at least in some firms, that instant messaging is what teenagers do, ergo it must be a waste of time/form of procrastination.

These might be common knowledge for people here, but I know a lot of people that don't know this:

Yes, I found this out when messing about with my code. Thanks!

I made this into a bookmarklet. Just paste the code into the URL field of a new bookmark: http://pastebin.com/t454yaZU

Studying in Europe can be really cheap, but only if you're from another EU country. I'm studying for free!

And that bothers you why? They ARE separate countries

Have you been reading my mind again? I wondered whether there was a shortcut only a few hours ago... creepy

This beast was my first computer despite it being produced before I was born. I didn't really understand it being pretty young but it got me interested in computers. This was sometime in the mid/late-nineties.

I was making the distinction between North Africa and sub-Saharan Africa, the former is generally regarded as part of MENA as opposed to Africa, because of cultural reasons. Also, despite the fact that I love South Africa, I would hardly call it 'real Africa'.

There are daily direct flights to Nairobi from London and Dubai, but I'm unsure about the US. Given it's one of key African hubs, it shouldn't be too difficult.

Should be amazing. Zanzibar is another stunning place to visit. Might I recommend Livingstone's. It's a restaurant in Stone Town, on the beach, and they have excellent crab.

It's real Africa without too much of the guns and war. It's also really nice weather, the world's best beaches, and some incredible places. Oh, and don't forget safaris!

Kenya. Hands down.

I have a question regarding tasker. Is it possible to turn your phone to silent/vibrate during a Google Calendar event and, importantly, only switch back 15min after the stated end-time? Any ideas?

Do you mean those sort of USB stick sized things with an HDMI? That would be quite interesting...
