Having had my Canon 400D for around a year and a half now I no longer consider myself a beginner, I’d say perhaps that I’m an intermediate-level amateur and so I’d like to share what I think are my 10 top tips that I’ve learned over the past year or so. I appreciate […]

In case you hadn’t guessed I’ve just upgraded to the new Sony Ericsson W960i, now I’m still not 100% sold on the phone itself (more info to follow as I decide) but I’m jumping in with both feet and making it my primary phone right away.  In order to do that I need to be […]

I told myself for months that I wasn’t going to upgrade to Leopard right away, instead I thought I’d wait to see what bugs came out of the woodwork and if there were any other annoyances. Even on release day I was still working to plan, none of the confirmed features were killer-apps for me […]

Many months ago when I started this blog I’d just acquired a PowerMac G4 having rescued it from a skip, I installed OSX and started using it.  I enjoyed the experience but the Mac quickly fell into disuse as I still had all of my regular apps, email, music, etc. on the PC.  I couldn’t […]

I may be mildly premature with this one, […]

I finally got around to playing Tetris on my iPod and I was pretty disappointed - the overly sensitive wheel just doesn’t work. I’ve been gaming for many years now and this has all the hallmarks of a ’stretch’, the iPod’s click wheel is bound to be good for some games and bad for […]

Having had the Mac for a good few weeks now I thought it would be a good time to post my experiences back on the blog. Initially I still found the user interface confusing as OS9 is quite different from Windows, I also had my suspicions confirmed in that there is almost no application […]

Until the other day, the last time I used a Mac was circa-1994 when I got my hands on a Macintosh IIsi and some variant of the Macintosh Classic. They belonged to my parent’s employer who needed a bit of help with printing and other IT tasks and I was pretty good at figuring […]
