For those who’ve had a look at my previous posts, you may now be interested in giving this a go yourself. If you’re nervous, then don’t worry – it’s not THAT daunting to do. There are some fantastic guides out there.
The main problem with doing this is that there are a lot of different [...]
I’m always the same. I get a device or gadget, and, when I’m getting used to it in the first few weeks, I always go into ‘What can I do with this?’ mode. I’ll see what it can do, even if its things that I’d never use again. I was happily playing around with Ubuntu [...]
On Leopard, one of the most annoying things about the new ‘stacks’ feature (where folders dragged onto the dock get ‘fanned out’ when you click them), is that the icon that represents the stack is always the one that is first depending on how you sort the stack. For example, if you have [...]
Yesterday, I checked the Alesis site, as I have religeously about once a fortnight, for a final version of the new drivers for my Alesis Multimix Firewire audio interface. You see… I’ve had OS X 10.5 Leopard waiting in the wings for a few months, ready to be unleashed on my iMac. However, [...]
Blimey – just upgraded my iMac to 4Gb. That’s the most RAM I’ve ever had in any machine!
Not amazingly interesting, but a bit of a landmark nonetheless!
I’ve been playing (and in fact am currently) with using my N73 as a modem with my PC laptop. As I’ve said before, I’m on the Three UK mobile broadband add-on, which I wanted to use with the Nokia 770. Thing is, this weekend, I’m away from home, so got the impetus to [...]
Got my hands on somebody’s Ipod touch for the first time today. Very nice! You’ve probably already read about the iPhone and the touch everywhere, so I wont go through the features again here. Suffice to say, it’s very nice in use, and I’ll be investing in one at some point [...]
Here I go again. Praising the abilities of this technological wonder I now own…
See that image above? Click on it for bigness. It’s an image of Windows XP running inside OS X, and acting as a TVersity transcoding media server to my Xbox 360 sitting downstairs. I set this up [...]
I thought I’d do the geeky thing and post a few pics of the great ‘unveiling’. I had to carry the box about 3/4 of a mile through Cardiff, and let me tell you – it isn’t as light as I was expecting!
Anyways. I got it home finally, and set about unpacking. [...]
Got it…
Going to play with it…!
more to come
…or so they say. Can’t say I necessarily agree! At the moment, I have my iMac on order, but the place supplying it to me dont know when the next delivery is. Apparently, demand has been very high (suprise suprise!), and so they dont know when they’re going to have them in. Waaah!
Well… at least [...]
Well…
After a lot of agonizing, I’ve finally decided to go for one of the new 20″ iMacs. It’ll kind of be the end of an era, and will be the first time I haven’t had a big-box PC in the house for about 14 years. I was all Amiga before that, so it [...]
I got a stroke of inspiration this morning and, having thought about what to search for on Google, I put in ‘Cubase with Bootcamp’. Got the following:-
Google Search for Cubase with Bootcamp
Good news! Looks, from general Consensus, that SX3 on Bootcamp is a very viable option. Looks like I may be [...]
Hmmmmm…
Something just occured to me. Basically – I want one of these….
It’s one of the new iMacs that I was wittering on about in my last post. I tried one today in the Apple premium reseller in Cardiff, and I’m smitten. Sad I know, but there we go. What I’m trying to work out [...]
New iMacs are nice. Very nice. Just thought I’d say that. Updating this blog from the Apple store in Cardiff on the 20″ model… Very nice.
Very very nice.
I’ll stop babbling now.
I said I’d be back once I’d done some testing – so here I am! And the answer? Well – I’d say the overall experience has been resoundingly positive, though not without hiccups along the way…
As I said in the main review – part of Fotospeed’s service is to provide you with custom [...]
Today, I aquired something that I’ve been meaning to get for ages – a Continuous Ink system. I love my Epson Stylus Photo 1290, but the inks for it are so damn expensive (as for all printers!). In the past, I’ve used Genuine Epson inks and Jet Tec inks interchangably, with generally very [...]
