Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
I know there are loads of iPad reviews out there, but people still keep asking me what I think of it, so now that I’ve had it for a week or so, here are my thoughts so far. Look and Feel First up, there’s no denying that it is a beautiful thing. Apple certainly build...
I’ve been busy creating books recently. As I mentioned earlier I thought it would be a really nice thing to make books from each year of this weblog as a memento and photo album for us. At first it was going to be a quick copy of the weblog but once I got into it...
I’ve just heard a rumour about the Apple iPad that hasn’t been heard anywhere else on the web before! No, it’s not that it will have a forward facing camera making it FaceTime compatible, that’s almost guaranteed. It’s not that it will have the Retina display or even that it will have a dual core...
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....
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 still don’t know if I’m going to get an iPad yet or wait for iPad 2.0, but I thought I’d start preparing for it anyway. At the moment I tend to work from my desktop iMac and therefore only occasionally need to access e-mails and such like from other computers. When I do need...
I’ve yet to decide whether or not to get an iPad, but it looks as though I’ve a little more time to make up my mind (and save up some money). Apple have announced that they are delaying the international launch of the iPad until the end of May, in order to meet US demand...
In case you didn’t know, the new, soon to be available Apple iPad doesn’t support Flash. Not a bad thing in my view as Flash is a memory hog, drains batteries and isn’t the most standards compliant technology out there. It is also a proprietary Adobe technology rather than an open standard. Apple claim these...
The world is full of Apple rumours, we now know what the iPad actually is and what it can do, but I’ve come across a source of information regarding a Apple event in Aberystwyth. Yep, the sleepy seaside town of Aberystwyth is to host an Apple roadshow! According to a job description on the careers...
My new iMac came with Apple’s latest mouse, the ‘Magic Mouse’. Not a great name, but then the previous incarnation of the Apple mouse, the ‘Mighty Mouse’, didn’t have a great name either. IN fact Apple haven’t really had a good history as far as mice goes. Not so Mighty The Mighty Mouse was OK,...
