What I’m looking forward to in 2010
December 29th, 2009What an age we live in
December 22nd, 2009Just a quick post to test this fancy new iPhone app called Wordpress. Points to anybody who are able to guess what this app does!
It’s been a while
December 2nd, 2009Just another “I’m not dead” post.
So…yeah…I’m not dead and I can’t even use the “I’ve been busy at work” excuse, because I haven’t, not more than normally at least.
So how are things then?

Spam spam spam spam
August 12th, 2009Aaah! The joy of blogging. Your thoughts are so important that you just need to share them with the world, so you sit down and compose your post (maybe you actually read it through after having written it). When satisfied with your Vonnegutesque/Dickesque (or whatever style you choose) marvel, you hit Publish and lean back, happy, knowing that you’ve made a difference and that from now on, the world will surely be a better place…..or, if you’re like me you know that nobody will ever give a rats arse about your thoughts and that the only one to ever read your masterpiece is…you!

Confessions of a fanboy?
April 28th, 2009About a year ago my bare communication necessities were:
- Homebuild Intel Core 2 Duo based PC armed with a Ubuntu/Windows XP dual boot
- Linksys something router with 802.11n network
- Sony Ericsson z530 mobile phone
- 80gb iPod classic
Today my kit contains these parts:
- MacBook Pro with Mac OS X 10.5.6
- Apple Airport Extreme
- 16gb iPhone
- 80gb iPod classic
- Synology DS207+ NAS server
Man I’ve put a lot of money into Apple products, haven’t I? What a brainwashed, narrowminded, naive idiot I am eh? (this is where you tell me: No, you are right, Apple make great products)
How to get your contacts birthday to appear in the calendar of your iPhone
March 19th, 2009OK, so you’ve bought an iPhone and you love it (disclaimer: of course I love my family more than my iPhone). You’ve imported all your contacts from your old phone (I did it manually).

All work and no play makes Peter something something
February 26th, 2009Well well well. You start out with this blogging thing, write a few posts and then….nothing….radio silence…another dead blog. Poor bloke! Couldn’t cope with it. Well…no! I’ve just been on the dark side of the moon, that’s why. OK, that’s not quite the truth, although I wish it was…mmmm space!
