So I’m now up to two weeks using only the ipad, and I think I’ve just about had enough time to decide on whether or not we really are in a post-pc world. My conclusion – it could be, depending on what your requirements are (mmm, obvious statement is obvious). Put it this way, I [...]
Ouch, that was painful. Having the TV on as a bit of background noise can be dangerous sometimes. I looked up, and Question Time was on. A bunch of politicians, being politicians, and doing the ridiculous political willy-waving bollocks. Obviously, they were prattling on and trying to score political points over yesterday’s budget, and the [...]
I took advantage of a little bit of serendipity (a friend looking for a second hand laptop) to give myself the excuse of selling the macbook pro, and buying an eleven inch macbook air. At the same time, I was already going through the motions of selling my first generation ipad, and picking up an [...]
With my “must try all the things” geek hat on, when I saw a thing called RetroShare mentioned, I had to download it and give it a try. Or more accurately, when I read the wikipedia page for retroshare, I had to download it and give it a try. So far, it looks good. If [...]
As twitter is somewhat limited in characters for explaining things, I thought it worth typing this up in a slightly longer form, so interested people can see what’s what.

There’s a saying, that goes something like “whatever is invented before you’re 18 has alway been there, [...]
…or “why I sometimes get to close a ticket with the minimum of work.” At work, we have a ticket system. This is a good thing. It allows different people to pick up a task, and (in theory), there doesn’t have to be a lengthy handover. All relevant information is in the ticket. It also [...]
A comment on a mailing list I’m on about a measure of non-ruralness being that Dominos delivers there got me thinking. I live in E1, which is pretty damn central in London, and yet I can’t get a delivery from Dominos. I’m stuck in ADSL land (ADSL2+ is available, but it’s not worth having as [...]
Last week a colleague spotted that Amazon is selling a TP-Link 150Mbps wireless-n access point for a penny shy of £15. A quick look at the description, and I saw that they can be used as a client, which made it worth a shot to replace my homeplug, which works, but is pegged down at [...]
Of course, some people who already know me seem to think I already am one, but I reckon I have never really changed. I was hipster before it was cool. Wait, what?
