Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
A rain, miserable Saturday, what should we do? How about attempting to break the Guinness World Record for the largest number of people learning to write Android smartphone applications at the same time! Yep, that’s what we did. The BCS chartered institute for IT were inviting individual and families with children over the age of...
BusyContacts I use BusyContacts from the folks at BusyMac on my Mac in place of the built in OSX Contacts app. It works in much the same way as any other Contact Manager. It maintains a list of all your contacts and their address and phone number details. Each can be tagged with various tags so that...
As you may know, I’m now the proud owner of a Garmin Fenix 3 watch. It took a while to get it as it was stuck at the delivery depot for weeks and the two companies that were involved in delivering it (UK Mail and Cooper Carriers) didn’t seem able to communicate with each other, so...
Good news… Not only is my new Garmin Fenix 3 Sapphire Performer Bundle on its way to me but Garmin have introduced Auto-Sleep Detection to it as well. I thought I’d have to wait a while to actually get the watch as it has been proving difficult for Garmin to get hold of enough Sapphire...
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...

Well, I’ve had my new iPhone 4 for nearly a month now and I’m pleased to report that I haven’t become the mobile monster that I feared. I used it a fair bit in Turkey, but since being back I’m not buried in it that often. The phone itself was bought from a mobile shop...
As you probably know I’m quite a gadget hound and and Apple fanboy. I have gadgets all over the place, not just computers, iPads and iPods, but GPS devices, Sat Navs and numerous training devices. In fact my triathlon training would barely be possible without electronic gadgets as I use my Garmin Forerunner 910XT on every...
I don’t know if it’s just us, but our set top Freeview Digiboxes don’t seem to last that long. We don’t have Sky or anything like that here, just a Freeview box with a Hard Drive for recording TV shows. The first one we had years ago was Digihome Freeview box and we loved it....
Well, it’s been getting on for a year since I’ve had my iPad, so, was it a flash in the pan that kept me amused last Christmas or has it become an essential part of my life? And, has the recent release of iOS5 made any difference? Intimate and Sociable Well, the first question is...
