Looking forward to a day off on Monday - working 6 days a week is a pain in the arse

yea - OSX Lion is all downloaded and I can set it up - Wonder if I should wait until the morning - how long will it take to do its stuff?

Added more to the article I started yesterday for the http://amazing-ipad.com web site. I have it edited & not to add some pics in MarsEdit

Lots to download today. Updates to various apps and also Lion. A few podcasts already in to put into the iPod Touch.

Back finished - now downloading Lion - Going to take a while on this bloody slow connection. Will put on a USB drive when I have it

Also I got the hard drive 2TB SATA that I could slot into the IcyBox toaster. Making a bootable back up for being ready for OSX Lion

I got my Apple Battery Charger in the post today & I like it - small neat and the best charger I found - going by the specs.

Like the look of the new Mac Minis - Not sure if I would get on though - with adding bits I could be better off with an iMac

Downloading the 4.3.4 update for the iPad. I wonder if I can get it for the iPod Touch too, The one I have is stuck on 4.2.1 for now

Hurray - day off and I have been able to do some writing. 3 articles done so far. I will get some more done after lunch

Ha ! All the rumour-mongers got it wrong about Lion coming out on the 14th. That'll teach ya...Suppose you will predict another date now..

Bit sick of all the rumour mongering by the Apple fan boys - be happy with what you have until a new thing comes out. It's coming whatever !

Three articles written this morning - Enjoying my day off so far - Flamin hot out - could be a day for a dip in the sea too

Just got the Hard Drive toaster IcyBox - Need some drives to put in it. It does eSATA and USB Will there be a thunderbolt to eSata connecter

Using the Chrome Browser and it is very good - adding some apps to it also to see what I can do with them

if you are a member of Squidoo please come and give a Squid like to this Lens http://www.squidoo.com/amazing-ipad - Thanks

Writing for Mc20Q - Posted about some of the features coming in OSX Lion. AutoSave & Versions look like game changers for working with docs

I predict that Apple will put in a GPS receiver into the iPad 3. It only makes sense to have it in there in the 3G model.

Took the car to be ITV tested and walked the dog back home through the forest and now I am writing on Squidoo about OSX Lion

Can't recommend Hype for creating HTML5 on the Mac as the export doesn't work and Tumultco are slow to give support on the problem

Just set up all of my Squidoo lenses on Feedburner to be able to Ping them

Fed up with Safari crashing now and then - GOing to try Chrome as my default browser for a while. Firefox is too slow to start up

Wrote 4 articles this morning for Postrunner which is part of The Keyword Academy http://a20q.info/gb6SLY

I like the idea of tabbed browsing in Safari on the iPad = very useful

OSX - Lion - July is not too far away - could be either 4 weeks or 8 weeks though. More likely eight - I'll bet

At least the price of Lion OSX is good - $29.99 - I wonder what that is in Euro?

Air drop sounds fun - will we need a parachute?

A lot of people will be happy for a new Mail app - What about a new iCal though?

I will be interested to see at what price Lion will be coming in at ???

who needs scroll bars anyway? Full screen on a 27in iMac will be wicked with some apps

Looks like we will all be buying the Magic Trackpad to go with Lion & our desktop computers for the swiping and gestures and so on

Just purchased 'Hype' Application for my Mac - Look like it will be really useful indeed. I can't wait to get playing with it. Thanks Don

Just getting a huge number of updates to apps for the iPad and iPhone including Dragon Dictation
