I’ve just spent 2 days – most of 2 days when you count the hours – fixing my iTunes library.

Dax is dead. Long live Dax
Here we go again. Way back in the dim and distant, I took the plunge and bought an iPhone. It was a 3 (or a 3G as they called it at the time). A 4S, 5S and 7 later, and here we are again.
What is this GDPR thing anyway?
If like me you work with details of living people, then you must have at least heard of the GDPR. The General Data Protection Regulation, which comes into force 25th May 2018, is basically an upgraded version of the Data Protection Act 1998 (Stephen Fry rest its soul). What does it mean? Well on topContinue reading “What is this GDPR thing anyway?”
Snow Leopard on an Eee PC
Many have done it, some have wished to do it, others have never even considered it. For me, it’s been a long time in the making and a lot of hassle, but due to the diligence of a trained tech. bloke and all-around star, it is now semi-operational and entirely squeee-inducing. Ladies and gentlemen, IContinue reading “Snow Leopard on an Eee PC”
News update
Apparently, according to my group of Form 2 students who attend various Hong Kong secondary schools, only people in big hats are in charge. They cite the Pope, chefs in any swanky kitchen, ‘that bloke who got shot in America’ (A.K.A. Abraham Lincoln), and, of course, the Fat Controller from Thomas The Tank Engine andContinue reading “News update”
Electronica Moronica
There is a reason I haven’t been here in ages, honest. First there was the whole jetlag thing, which as usual, I don’t believe in until I realise that I’ve been walking around for three days as if I’m just visiting from a different planet. Now, normally, this would not be anything out of theContinue reading “Electronica Moronica”
Good times and bad times
Went jonesing for a nine inch notebook to use for Operation Hackintosh in Wan Chai computer centre this evening; we were disappointed. Just means I’ll have to get a MSI Wind thing from somewhere else and still have it up and running before I head off to Dragon*Con in about five weeks: BAD TIMES. However,Continue reading “Good times and bad times”
This week in ramblings
So we’ve went to go and see The Hurt Locker last night. I have to say it was so much better than Shutter Island. There were a lot of reasons for this – first and foremost would be the idea that it was compelling. Next would be that I actually cared about the characters. IContinue reading “This week in ramblings”
Freedom Of MacSpeech
This has to be a first for me. I am sitting in Michael, my most comfortable of chairs, playing with a Heineken rugby ball that I won in some poxy pub quiz about two years ago, dictating to Jarvis my iMac via a headset and microphone. The entirety of this blog post will be madeContinue reading “Freedom Of MacSpeech”
‘Kin ‘ell
Got home at 8.30pm. It’s now 1.25am, and what have I accomplished? Nowt but this new CSS shite I’ve cobbled together to make this blog look different for the new year. Yes, I know, all the links and widgets and dubreys are missing, but hey, I’ll get round to putting ’em back, alright? Right nowContinue reading “‘Kin ‘ell”
