Tomorrow, wife and I are going to Barcelona for the weekend, so like many people, I decided to print out my lastminute.com e-ticket and hotel vouchers. Nothing unusual there.
However, the printer started to make some very weird noises, screwed up the paper and eventually completely jammed. I could see bits of paper jammed in the [...]
iBook seems to have relapsed after a spirited recovery.
It was taking a long time to boot, Spotlight felt it was necessary to reindex the drive, then would crash and repeat. After a single-user disk repair session it wouldn’t boot at all, in fact it didn’t seem to be getting power.
Battery and mains adaptor are fine, [...]

Some time ago, I allowed that Outlook sucks. Wanderingstan seems to agree, and does so most eloquently. Thanks Stan.

Just got a text message from O2 - From Mid March, my iPhone tariff is increasing from 200 inclusive mins to 600 and 200 inclusive texts to 500.

No [...]

Looks like iBook seems to be recovering after an OS reinstall. After syncing back its personality from .Mac he seems as good as new.
Fingers crossed he stays that way.

My iBook kernel panicked. And is doing it again on reboot.
For those less enlightened, a kernel panic is akin to the Windows Blue Screen Of Death.
I’ve yet to do any real analysis, but I fear the worst.
Snowy the iBook has been a good and faithful servant since September 8, 2005.
He is my second iBook, the [...]
Since iPhone software update 1.1.3, you can put web apps on the home screen, and give them an icon.
I’ve provided one for this blog - it’s not great, but it’s better than nothing.
If you don’t have an updated iPhone, this is what it looks like:

So a little while ago, a decided it was about time I got a car, terrorised the roads and pollute the planet.
I spent a little time choosing, ruling out, dithering, test driving, justifying and eventually just wanting a particular one, and I have now ordered it.
I won’t say what (don’t want to jinx anything), but [...]

I’ve had the iPhone for two months now, time for the hype to die down, and for normal usage patterns to emerge.
During the week, it’s my alarm clock - I put it on silent mode, so calls/texts don’t wake me up, and I disable vibrate.
I carry it to work in my pocket. If I’m [...]

A week or so ago, I was talking to an ex-colleague about being a techie. He asked me, on a scale of one to ten, how techie I thought I was now.
I was surprised to admit that Im probably now only a six or seven, whereas a year ago, I was a ten (except on [...]
