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

2011-07-21T15:24:00.001-07:00

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?

2011-07-21T02:44:00.001-07:00

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

2011-07-21T02:42:00.001-07:00

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

2011-07-20T23:48:00.001-07:00

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

2011-07-20T14:53:00.001-07:00

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

2011-07-20T14:51:00.001-07:00

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.

2011-07-20T14:50:00.001-07:00

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

2011-07-18T04:34:00.001-07:00

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

2011-07-18T04:33:00.001-07:00

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

2011-07-14T16:43:00.001-07:00

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..

2011-07-14T06:05:00.001-07:00

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 !

2011-07-11T03:09:00.001-07:00

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

2011-07-11T01:42:00.001-07:00

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

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

2011-06-10T02:46:00.001-07:00

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.

2011-06-10T02:44:00.001-07:00

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

2011-06-09T19:26:00.001-07:00

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

2011-06-09T06:53:00.001-07:00

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

2011-06-09T06:51:00.001-07:00

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

2011-06-08T07:24:00.001-07:00

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

2011-06-06T10:56:00.001-07:00

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

2011-06-06T10:40:00.001-07:00

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

2011-06-06T10:39:00.001-07:00

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

2011-06-06T10:32:00.001-07:00

Air drop sounds fun - will we need a parachute?

2011-06-06T10:31:00.001-07:00

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

2011-06-06T10:16:00.001-07:00

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

2011-06-06T10:15:00.001-07:00

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

2011-06-06T10:13:00.001-07:00

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

2011-06-06T09:18:00.001-07:00

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

2011-05-06T05:15:00.001-07:00

I could really do with a new iMac but waiting until after Lion is released would be a good idea. I can manage with the old one for a while

2011-05-04T11:20:00.001-07:00

Hurrah I managed to get 4.3.2 onto the iPad - At last. Took 2 goes to get it to take though.
