Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Woohooo, it seems as though the telecommunications gods have given us an early Christmas present… The fastest Broadband we’ve ever had – a whopping 3.3Mbps. OK, it’s not that great but it has at least allowed me to stream and watch the entire Red Bull Storm Chase video without any buffering – not in HD...
I think I must have unusually robust ears as I seem to get through earphones for my iPod in no time at all. I’m forever replacing them so have recently resorted to buying cheap ones from the £1 shop as then it doesn’t matter if I break them. It was quite nice the other day...
Only a few weeks after the lunch of OSX Yosemite I decided to take the plunge and upgrade my iMac the other day. I usually leave it until at least the next incremental update just so that any major issues are ironed out, but reports seemed mainly good and I had the time to do...
I may be a few years behind, but I’ve just finished the first volume of our Weblog Book for 2011. It’s 350 full colour pages of glorious memories. In essences it’s a glorified photo album, but with lots of text and lots of information about things we were up to a few years ago. As...
As you should know by now we are about to embark on a charity cycle ride from John O’Groats to Lands End in aid of JDRF (Click here to support the charity and sponsor our ride). We are just about ready to start heading up to John O’Groats in order to start the ride on...
I’ve now had time to play with some of my photos taken in Austria… I just can’t get enough of this view from the shores of Lake Schwarzsee. Not a bad photo taken on an iPhone 4 either.
It’s always difficult to do a proper test of new parts or new kit for the bike. There are always so many variables at play that it’s not easy to say for sure whether or not these things make a difference, especially when testing in the real world and especially when you don’t have a...
I know it sounds silly, but now that I have a car with remote locking from the keyfob, when I get home and go to open the front door I keep looking for a button to press on my keyring! I’d never missed remote locking on my car until I had it and now I...
As many of you may know, I’ve had numerous problems with the altimeter on my Forerunner 910XT. Since lusting after the Forerunner 910XT back in October 2011, I bought one in February 2012. I then wrote a glowing report on the Forerunner 910XT with my first impressions – it did just about everything I wanted it...
Well, that has been a stressful few days thanks to website and hosting issues, which is also my excuse for not posting anything here for a few days. I don’t think anyone is still quite sure what went wrong, but the server upon which my sites and many of my clients sites are hosted decided to...
