Warm weather

Summer is on it’s way here in Adelaide, to has been in the high twenties with recent days getting into the thirties. Excellent times. I feel for all those people over in the uk who are going into their winter. Speaking of summer I have quit umpiring cricket. After five years I have had enough [...]

First in a while, hopefully not the last

Well I have to really start blogging more. Hopefully this post gets me on my way. Next week I’m off to Scotland for a few weeks. I should have a net connection with plenty of free time to do as I wish. At this stage of the game I need a little rest from work. [...]

And So It Has Come And Gone

All that was discussed in the keynote (mentioned below) was iPhone iPhone iPhone. Yea it’s cool. I’ll probably end up eventually getting one (don’t know how I can justify it) but no new MacBook Pro’s. Oh well, just ordered a 15″ MacBook Pro, new bag for the MBP, Office 2008 and an extra power cable. [...]

Yet Another Apple Keynote

Early hours tomorrow morning it is the WWDC keynote. I seem to do this every keynote but I can’t wait and have my plastic in hand just waiting to buy something. The something this time is a MacBook Pro. It will be the top of the line 15 inch model. I’m not desperate for Apple [...]

MacBook Air – 2 Months Later

It has now been about two months since my MacBook Air has been in my possession and I have to say that it does what it says it will do but it just has not filled the gap that my old MacBook was. My main gripe is the lack of ethernet and usb port(s). Yes [...]

I’ve really really missed flight sim, i’ve tried X-Plane but it [...]

My Path to HD

Over the next six months, all being well, my house will be changing completely from analogue televisions to HD televisions. From my research that I have done so far and just general ear to the ground stuff that I’ve been doing for years I am pretty convinced that I will be getting a Samsung LCD [...]

My MacBook Air

Friday morning I received my MacBook Air. About three weeks after it was announced at MacWorld Expo it was in my hands. It really is a beautiful piece of technology and fulfill my needs of a portable computer. For the last 19 months I have had a first generation MacBook which I must say has [...]

MacWorld Keynote: My Opinion

Let’s take this one product at a time: 1. Time Capsule – Meh, I already have an Airport Extreme with gigabit ethernet. I also already have a Mac Mini server running Leopard Server which gives me the Time Machine features that Time Capsule gives me. Overall it’s a good idea for the average consumer but [...]
