How did I get here?
It’s a statement that I knew I’d have to make eventually, but I didn’t think I’d be doing so quite so soon. Not for a number of years, actually. I’ve written a couple of articles previously on this subject: the first, What is stopping me getting a Mac started off from [...]

This post is the next step along from my post entitled ‘What is stopping me getting a Mac‘. At this moment in time, I’m still completely open to switching to the Mac if the switch would work in my favour. It has been about 11 months since my last post on this topic, and we’ll [...]

Google’s Android mobile unveiled- Looks interesting, but time will tell for ascertaining how it fares against the iPhone.

Apple fixes BSOD problem it caused with iTunes 8- Apparantly iTunes 8 can cause a blue screen of death to a PC running Windows Vista if you quite reasonably want to plug an iPod in. It sounds like a real pain to reinstall everything… but only if you need the fix. I’m quite scared to [...]

Righty. This post originally started out as a tweet, which became an aside, which became a fully-fleged post! The reason why?

Windows Live Writer CTP Released- Sounds interesting, but ever since Wordpress added full screen mode in version 2.5, that’s all’s I’ve been using. Full screen mode is just perfect for writing long blog posts.
