May Bank Holiday was spent mostly supporting an elderly relative whose mind slips between one reality and the next. Meanwhile their partner and main carer was admitted to hospital. The nights were passed in a banana shape, making my 6-foot frame fit a 4-foot sofa. When we got home, abstinence slipped from our minds as one or two glasses of wine were followed by a third.

Who’d have thought it? Most of the time it just sits there doing very little. Type ‘top’ into Terminal to see it, feet up and half asleep, waiting for us to titillate its silicone synapses. Even doing heavy Photoshopping or similar graphics stuff, the CPU’s use less than 1%. Read more

People are funny where Apple is concerned. For example: Martin our ISP, is so vehemently anti anything Apple he refuses to let iPhones send mail from their owner’s accounts on his servers. iPhones can receive mail but not reply to it unless they have an account elsewhere whose smtp server let’s iPhone mail through – which is probably nearly all of them. Martin has no problem with other smartphones, just Apple’s. It seems the most rabid stances taken in any discussion about Apple comes from those against rather than the so-called fanboys. Read more

Dawn and I are the only Mac users in the office. We struggle with Windows, trying not to fight it but instead attempt to engage with a different operating system. After all, its interface was ripped-off from Apple many years ago so it can’t be that different? Can it? Read more

My mum was mauled by a Mastiff this week. An elderly lady has been horribly wounded, her life ruined and for all we know, possibly shortened.
