    I’m working from home today, and the MacBook Pro is properly plugged in to all the bits on my desk, now that I’ve finally cleared it off again (Kim tidies up the house by dumping stuff she finds on my desk). I’ve been working from my lap wherever I find myself at home until now.…

    Wow, what a blank blog. You can see that I’ve had a very quiet couple of Christmas and New Year holiday weeks. It is normally the only time of year that I get a proper break. I guess I should make a New Year’s resolution of some sort about that. I’m back at work today,…

    Apologies to anyone that may have been trying to find some files on my website, but part of my hosting has disappeared. The podcasts are affected by this. I’ll fix this next week when I go back to work.

    No photo today. Why? Jack woke me up at 6am this morning with the sound of him puking into his bed. Poor little boy had picked up a bug going around at school and was really poorly this morning. The bug is clearly very contagious, so no visits to Annabel or to Kim for Jack…

    I’m so tired. Jack’s been poorly with a dry, painful chesty cough and a temperature since we got back to Swansea on Sunday night. He hasn’t been very well or very happy, but he’s feeling a little better this morning. When he eventually sleeps any coughing wakes him up and upsets him, so we wake…

    I want one! This would really mix up my daily commute (and give my tired old legs the occasional break). It’s a “personal transportation device” (yawn) that looks simple and fun. It’s essentially a powered wheel that drags you along on whatever wheely thing you prefer to stand on (I wonder if it’s any good…

    My Mac got Halloweenified. There’s a screaming skull too, which hides behind a black screen when the screensaver comes on and jumps out when it hears someone nearby. (15″ MacBook Pro plus 23″ Apple monitor)

    It looks as though Apple still have quite a bit of work to do in marketing the iPhone to early tech adopters in the UK. We’re used to getting our fancy phones for free with new contracts here, and the mobile phone companies know this. They keep us hooked into their network and poach users…
