When I was in primary school I had a simple text-book on touch typing or at least typing efficiently with one hand. It wasn’t really a text-book in the traditional sense; rather a case of 100 typed pages, [...]

Blogging with Discipline
I like this idea.
I can relate to what Beth talks about. I have tended to be one of these writers;
There are times when my mind is filled with more blog posts than there are days in the week, when everything in my life can be easily put into a witty and/or meaningful bit of writing.
I [...]
the long wait is over
My circumstantially imposed technology retreat is finally over.
BoB — my new modem with VOIP arrived yesterday after being sent to the wrong box number and then being unable to be delivered to a box at all.
I set him up last night as visitors were here when he arrived. It took a bit of fiddling as [...]
tweet tweet
i used twitter yesterday much like I think it was intended, or at least a very handy way of using it to broadcast a problem PB was having with Vodafone (the Australian phone company) and his iPhone. It wasn’t solved through the tweeting but the up to the minute information was shared and further broadcasted. [...]
100 posts.
In September 2005, while traveling I started this blog. That was a long time ago in both time and headspace.
I have had many hiatuses from this medium, hence the four years to get here. I have had a variety of topics, many self serving muses. But I’m still here and I enjoy it.
The choice of [...]
Installing Love
This is so nice….
Tech Support: Yes, how can I help you?
Customer: Well, after much consideration, I’ve decided to install Love. Can you guide me though the process?
Tech Support: Yes. I can help you. Are you ready to proceed?
Customer: Well, I’m not very technical, but I think I’m ready. What do I do first?
Tech Support: The [...]
the curse of the early adopters
Ok, so there has been a rather prolonged semi-silence from this blog
There are probably a few reasons for that. However the main one is technology.
I’m very into technology as I’ve declared here before; Particularly Mac tech. So when Snow Leopard – the new operating system- came out I was bound to upgrade before too long. [...]
Getting things done …. dude
If you know me, especially off-line probably know that I am a fan and practitioner of the Getting Things Done methodology by David Allen. Here is one guys’ approach to it on a Mac. I might one day do my own explanation of my system, but for the moment this is funny and wise!

Steve Jobs is back at work, Apple says – CNN.com
This is very good news. Mostly for him. Apple still needs him, and not just behind the scenes. Phil and the others did ok at WWDC but the charisma was not there nor was the sparkle.
They probably do need to start thinking about “the next step” though
The hard rock bottom of my drive
I am writing this post on the iPhone app for Wordpress. It is 1 am on Monday morning and I have had a bad tech week!
I am sitting here watching a fairly clever graphical representation of my hard drive bring scanned and (hopefully repaired) by Disk Genius 2. A set of cats hair like they [...]
Amazon wish list
I was browsing Amazon and Dymocks Booksellers websites for ideas for upcoming birthdays, and decided that I have a potential weakness for all book-related websites.
As a result, and as a small project that will hopefully resolve the “what can I buy you for ….?” question (mostly from family) I’m going to build a book-centric [...]
Activists demolish Steve Jobs’s house plans
Apple boss housing issues
It seems to me that if the heritage of a house that is in such a dire state can still legally require an owner to maintain it because it is considered a landmark, then the same level of responsibility must be required to provide access for people for disability.
Californian law prohibits historical [...]
