Belt and braces seems the best solution. We will try our brand new version of CoPilot Live but take our Garmin and print the route from Google maps as a last resort. Then shout at each other like in the good old days. 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.

Later this week two of us are driving a few hundred miles to HQ to be shown the new database which will be implemented on April Fools’ Day. A date which is inevitably going to be a joke when it’s something to do with new computers and software, all going live at the same time. Read more

My mother in law got a new washing machine yesterday. Not normally the topic of a magazine devoted to IT professionals but stay with the thought. Read more

Is there anything worse than the hypocrites who insist on organic, forgetting the food miles their Scottish salmon cost compared with the line-caught mackerel from the end of the road? Then drive the X5 a half mile to little Matthew and Jessica’s Steiner school and never take a bag with them to John Lewis. Read more

Wednesday: back to work after the New Year, drove to the office, negotiated the dicey icy side streets to find the main roads clear. Only self and one other, who had travelled nearly 100 miles, turned up at the office. Staff living within walking distance all decided it was too dangerous to venture out even though the pavements were clear. Many excuses offered including that the very roads I had driven on were impassable. Offered to drive round to pick them up but told to go home instead. Read more

We used to live near a dentist who ran his entire operation in an Hypercard stack he devised himself. All patient information, treatments, appointments and bills were handled by his stack, running on one of those original, all-in-one Macs which us old hands think of as definitive. No colour, no sound, tiny screen, clunky operating system, no multi-tasking and a mouse the size of a house brick. But a graphical operating system from the days when windows were holes in buildings.
