Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
As a bit of an Apple fan-boy it’s not often that I moan about the short-comings of Apple products, the Mac or OSX, but one thing that I’ve wanted for a while in the Finder is tabbed windows and a dual pane function. Tabbed Windows We’ve all got used to tabbed windows in our web-browsers....
My beloved and very well used Garmin Forerunner 305 has stopped working. I’ve had it since January 2008 and it has been working flawlessy but now it keeps switching itself off. Sometimes it’ll stay on for a while but if I just touch the casing then it shuts down. I guess it could have got...
I’ve been on the phone to the support team at Plusnet, my ISP recently over an issue that may or may not have anything to do with them. It is nice that they have an English support team as it certainly makes dealing with such issues a whole lot easier, so whilst speaking with them...
I’ve been having a bit of a nightmare with connectivity recently. For some reason on a few occasions I’ve been unable to access any of my sites (or my clients sites) on a particular web-server – Watch out, this may get a bit techy! The first time it happened I was still able to connect to sites...
As you may know from a previous weblog entry, I’m doing a mile swim in Lake Bala next Sunday in Aid of Diabetes UK. I thought I’d better do some training for it so yesterday I did a mile swim in the pool at the Sport Centre. 68 lengths non-stop isn’t the most exciting of...

We have a huge family and I...
I’ve been meaning to work on a family tree for ages and did make a start a few years ago using software called MacFamily Tree. It has recently had an update to a new version which prompted me to have another look at our family tree. Adding Data The software is excellent with loads of...
I bought myself a new gadget the other day, a Garmin Speed / Cadence Sensor for my Forerunner 305. I didn’t really NEED one but new toys are always a good motivator. When out on my bike in the real world the GPS on the Forerunner obviously tracks my speed and distance and works flawlessly....
Before heading off on todays lunchtime ride I had told myself that the plan was for a nice easy ‘recovery’ ride. I had done a hard 25 mile ride yesterday, I have circuits and Swimfit to go to this evening and a long MTB ride planned for tomorrow, so and easy ride was on the...
I’ve been using Dropbox for a while as a really useful way of sharing files with clients, friends and family. It’s very clever in the way it works with a nice little menu item on my computer that links directly to my local dropbox folder. Anything I put in that folder get automatically synced to...
