Sleeplessness
So its 1:20am as i write this and i have been trying to sleep since 12:00. Unable to of course. I was hoping some West Wing would send me to sleep but it was the first episode of series 4 so it was very very good. Not the best idea i must admit but i was hoping.
It’s incredible (took me 2 tries to spell that without a typo) how nocturnal i have become since moving to university. Everything...
Mini Mac Performance Impressions
It never ceases to amaze me how well my Mini Mac seems to perform considering the hell i put it through. It’s only a 1.8 with 2gb of ram and i have Mail, Safari, iTunes, Skype, Adium and Transmission constantly running not forgetting that i also open up iPhoto, Quicktime and VLC media player from time to time during the day. This machine gets a lot of use and does run very well. I think it...

Excitement uncontainable!
OMG! Landscape keyboard for sms! I think i have just let a little bit of wee out through excitement. After everything i wanted landscape keyboard for the apps didnt occur to me. It’s gonna make those stupid typing mistakes a thing of the pass.
The half background tasks thing will be nice as well as copy and paste to by the way :-)
Oh wait! And MMS! About bloody time! I wont get to excited...

iPhone 3.0
Anyone else excited to know what Apple have in store for us in the next version of it’s flagship mobile OS? I bloody am. Everyone wants something that is not already included. No matter how much people love their iPhone (talking strictly about the software) there is something that is missing. Apple have given us a great smartphone with many features, also thanks to the App Store, but my god...
BBC News: Social networks 'are new e-mail' →
I hate to admit but it does seem true. I find sending a message via facebook allows to recipient to see it faster than email. (Facebook is also client of choice for instant messaging replacing windows live for many people that i know) Facebook take over just like google once did?
Finally the new Facebook
Finally i have the new Facebook. Can’t say i like it or dislike it. To be honest i don’t really care. It does the same thing as before. Besides everyone hated the old Facebook when it was new and no one remembers what the old old Facebook even looked like! Now everyone is complaining about this new interface. Stop complaining and get used to it! The amount of status messages of...
Mac Mini as a Server - First Test
Okay, so im home in good old Essex for the first time since setting up my Mac Mini as a server and i can tell you right now that it’s a failure. I’ve tried it all and have been unsuccessful. I’ve tried FTP and VNC and neither work. I have also tried (just realising that this option was open to me) using Back to My Mac which comes with MobileMe. It basically means i can access...
A Million in Five Years →
A site created by an old colleague of mine. He’s starting out his business and is aiming for £1 Million turnover in 5 years. That information is irrelevant to why im posting this link. It’s just interesting and fun to see his progress and services that are offered as well as the potential for some funny stories and customers that may come his way in the future. Worth a look and rss if...
Snake Bite issue re-surfaced!
I had a little accident in the way of Laura spilling snakeBite over my trousers and then me standing on top of the bathroom counters in the venue underneath a hairdryer, to dry myself off. Naturally i chose to pose for a Kent Union photographer before the drying job which he then posted on flickr for the world to see…
They don’t know the truth! It was snake bite!!!
HONEST!
New Theme
What do you guys think? Prefer the new theme? I much prefer it because it’s ever so slightly wider than the previous plus it makes reading blogs that have basically only text, much more pleasant to read. Anyways, either way your stuck with it so get used to it!
Oh themes are available here for anyone using tumblr. They are really picking up the pace with usability so i anticipate more...
10:50am after a night of drinking…
Phone Rings…
Mother thinks she has accidently downloaded a virus/is about to download a virus… And full props to her for calling me and not trying to tackle it herself. It’s one of those pop-up box scripts that you can only click on OK. How can something like that be allowed on the internet… grrrr. Click on OK and then you get...
Living with 2 Mac's - Synchronisation
The biggest problem that i’ve been facing is synchronizing my Mac Mini with my MacBook. The majority of the time im living on campus where the Mac Mini is my mostly used Mac. It’s always on, with IM, Mail, Safari, iTunes, iPhoto and Twitter applications running as well as doing dvd rips and mp4 encodes on it. It’s also used to watch video and dvd’s as there is a 1TB...
