Some People Wind Me Up By Breathing

Ok, Firstly it was meant as a joke – in point of fact I am not easy to wind up, if i was Glen and I wouldn’t be such good friends. Glen and I are constantly taking the piss out of each other, and its all good fun; I am pretty easy going on the [...]

Steve Jobs resigns as CEO of Apple.

That’s the news of today. You can read about it just about everywhere, but I for one am not really worried about this. Firstly because he’s not leaving the company – he’s requested to stay as chairman of the board. Secondly becuase he named he’s successor, the guy who is acting as the Chief Operating [...]

Real Programmers

This has been around since the dawn of time. Real Programmer humour. Don’t eat quiche. They don’t even know how to spell quiche. They like Twinkies, Coke, and palate-scorching Szechwan food. Don’t write applications programs. They program right down to the bare metal. Applications programs are for dullards who can’t do systems programming. Don’t comment [...]

Apple TV

I don’t have an apple TV. I nearly brought the first generation version at one point but the movie service was non existent so it didn’t seem to be worth getting – At some point in the future i may do something about it but my 3D TV has DNLA so streaming from the mac [...]

If heaven exists – does it have fast internet connectivity?

OK, i am resisting making any jokes about the cloud here, but heres a line in the old film Time Bandits that really makes you think – To quote Evil “God Doesn’t care about digital watches”. It was perhaps a subtle statement on society that evil should be a advocate of technology. Is the internet [...]

Visiting the UK

Thursday I am flying back to the UK and I am quite looking forward to it. It feels like ages since I saw my family there. I know there’s a lot of concern about looting but that’s not going to be an issue for me. The biggest problem is too much to do and too [...]

Government Sanctioned Spankings

I was kind of impressed by how much attention my message about the UK riots got – 38 page views which was a bit surprising – I also had two people actually press the like button, and 3 different people feel passionately enough to comment on it. Well in point of fact quite a few [...]

Chaos In The UK

OK anyone who thinks that the current issues in the UK are really about some guy getting shot is mad. Sure its sad, but its not the first time and wont be the last – I think most likely there are a few contributors to the chaos. The guy getting shot was just a match [...]
