This morning I discovered that one of my photos has been used in an online travel guide produced by Schmap:

Since my work will soon be taking me to another office (and another country), I’ve been clearing off all the various things pinned to the walls of desk. In the process, I came across a Little Gamers strip which I have oft thought appropriate for a Mac fan working in the mobile phone industry:

Lately, Christmases have provided a good opportunity to sort through the various possessions still left in the UK.

This year, I came across a magazine cover CD sporting a video I remember watching over-and-over as a student. It shows Bill Gates announcing Windows CE at Comdex back in 1996.

While Windows CE never made the splash I had hoped, the video still represents an interesting moment in mobile computing history:

Since upgrading to OS X Leopard, I’ve experienced a number of bugs, making this one of my most unpleasant Apple-related migrations to date:

• for some unknown reason, the installer wouldn’t initially see my system disk
• the installer lost my keychain,
• Spotlight insisted on re-indexing after installation,
• iDisk syncing keeps getting confused,
• secure empty trash invariably hangs,
• clicking on the desktop to task-switch to the finder only works half the time,
• AirPort Extreme disks no longer auto-mount,
• iPhoto Web Galleries still don’t show up in iTunes for syncing.

On the whole, the new OS feels like a step in the right direction, but it’s far from the end user experience I’ve come to expect from Apple.

I’m intending to keep this list up-to-date so I can keep a record of all the issues observed.

This morning I received an email from a chap in Russia pointing out that, to some extent at least, we run sister sites.
