Ah Macheist
So the time has of course come that my Mac endeavours include MacHeist and it’s wonderful nanobundles.
For someone like me who is relatively new to Mac (near a year) these things are invaluable to me since they let me know about fantastic applications that I’ve never heard of (or thought of).
Before you ask, I have [...]
How computers took over cars? More like another rant on the BBC and their technology editors
I’ve been continually disturbed by the inaccuracies of the BBC technology reports as of late. The BBC used to be a fine, trusted news source with reliable accurate information even if it was a little slow to come to date, but today has really hit a nerve with me and I’ll explain why in a [...]
Read MoreHow Far is Too Far? – Cleaning
Come plastic fantastic or metal maniac, your sure to have to brush off the dust from your favourite computer gadgets. Of course, this goes without saying for many, at least, brushing the dust off does. But I find myself regularly cleaning my Mac and my iPhone with more than just spit and polish.
It seems [...]
And so here is 2010, the year we … well…
…yeah I’m still struggling to fill in that one little tag line. Fifteen years ago we had such aspirations and hopes for our technology that we forgot somewhat to actually do it. If Arthur C Clarke was even close to being right, we would have orbital space stations that were publicly accessible, long range manned [...]
Read MoreThinking Different?
I’ve been using my Mac now for about six months, having never used a Macintosh before, but there are a few things that still seem alien to me, and of course some things I miss from Windows. For those of you who have never used Mac before, I thoroughly recommend it, there is no real [...]
Read MoreIMAX Opens in Cardiff & I got an advanced screening
I’ve never been to an IMAX cinema before, so getting invited along to the press launch of the Cardiff IMAX cinema screen was a pretty incredible way to be introduced to the technology.
With over half a million pounds invested in the new cinema screen and technology, cardiff ODEON cinema has made a substantial investment in [...]
The problem with ‘Googling it’
Right now I’m sat here waiting to go to the emergency out of hours doctors appointment I’ve made for my ear infection. I’m not telling you this because I want to, I’m telling you this because it’s going to come up later in this post, be patient. Here in Cardiff, we don’t exactly have the [...]
Read MoreThe new iTunes app store, and why I hate it
Oh dear, Apple you have done something I never thought you would do. You changed the app store. And you did it badly. The changes have only happened this evening so I expect there will be some teething issues and changes however, the new app store is completely counter intuitive and as stated by a [...]
Read MoreAnnouncing a New Section: Tech
I said before that I wanted to include more tech related posts, since this site is inevitably becoming just a blog of a tech nut / photography nut / amateur artist … etc this is the first major stage in doing that. There are some posts already in there, but you’ll also be seeing my [...]
Read MoreWindows 7, Macs et all, my thoughts
I’m often loathed to give myself tasks which I fear completing. In fact not only do I loath it, I also seem to do it with an alarming number of things. Take twitter for instance. A user on twitter asked about Windows 7, and what did people think of this new operating system from the [...]
Read MoreThe importance of wifi
I made a commitment at one stage to be sat in a bar at least once every other week and sit and write a blog post. Well, here I am, finally, sat in the funky buddah in cardiff contemplating the world, life and well… my bottle of Peroni.
It’s a strange experience really being sat [...]
The trouble with technology
It seems very apt that I should open with that line for my latest blog post given everything that has gone on lately. In fact over the past week or so I’ve been unfortunate enough to have three very expensive pieces of technology break on me.
My Car
My iPhone
My Camera
All in the space of [...]
ISP’s and P2P… It’s going downhill
We’ve been aware for some time now of the government and indeed the ISP’s increasing awareness of that newfangled technology known as P2P (Peer 2 Peer file sharing).
Over the past few months the publicity on this subject has grown rather dramatically as ArsTechnica recently broke the news of one particular ISP in the UK [...]
The State of My Mac
So, following on from my last or shall I say last but one blog post. Guess what just arrived. Yes! My £1500 iBrick. The solid piece of aluminum machined down into a finely crafted expensive… computer.
And you know what?
I’m In LOVE!! Oh My LORD!
I Swore I wouldn’t do this post, I really did swear, [...]
