    I haven’t been posting many photos, have I? Here’s one of Rich and Roberta with Jack the other weekend: Off to the Bristol Hifi Show tomorrow with Rich (plus 1 geek point). Coincidentally his CD player broke this week, and so did my iPod. Bizarre.

    Sorry, I haven’t got a hard link, but this is from Furo and Lockergnome’s IT Professional newsletter: “Apple is called out for spending $1 billion to develop Mac OS X for a relatively small number of potential users, while Microsoft spent $1 billion on Windows XP, which holds a far greater number of customers.

    Ah. 5 minutes to blog: Jack’s much better. His teeth seem to be settling down, and we had our first full night’s sleep last night. And he woke me up perfectly on time this morning. He’s very snotty though, and a bit hot, so he seems to have a bit of a cold. He’s much…

    My iPod has revived. After trying everything (reseting, restoring, etc, etc) I just plugged it into the dock at home and it went BEEP – buttons working again. I don’t get it. I had tried plugging it into my iBook at work several times. A temporary reprieve, I think.

    Oh no! My iPod is dead! What am I going to do? Apart from send it back to Apple, that is. I’m very upset. Condolences and wreaths by email please.

    I love the programming on Sky One. It’s great. I love hours and hours of the Simpsons, Star Trek, and Malcolm in the Middle. But I’ve always hated the damn logo in the corner of the screen reminding you that you’re watching Sky One. Yes. Thank you. I know I’m watching Sky One. And it…
