technology sucks

I'm not what you'd call a technical prude. Quite the opposite in fact. I embrace technology whole heartedly, then let it consume me and take over my life, with potentially embarrassing consequences.The house is practically wired up without wires, and my next move will probably be to attach a mac mini to my toaster and coffee machine for the perfect breakfast. Kind of like what a teasmaid would have done, but with a cooler logo.As a result of the vast array of technology scattered around our house and carried about our persons, my children are far too technologically savvy for...
I've just spent 2 days without the internet, because BT broke some fancy bit of equipment in a deep dark hole somewhere in Croydon. Or Chichester. Or maybe in Siberia, who cares. The point is, that despite there being several hundred of us on different ISPs without the internet, it took BT over a day to admit that it was their fault. So I had find things to do that were not internet related. For TWO DAYS. This ranks high up on the horrible chart. In fact, it's right up there with going without coffee. Almost. There is nothing that...
A while ago, when the world was frozen - Mr Boxer Shorts and I made a huge mistake. It was a mistake that only the lack of heating and a damp smell can provoke. We live to regret that decision every day. Brace yourself for a revelation of the most mundane variety... We sold our leaky cold SAAB and bought a heated Renault Megane Scenic.I am sorry, this is a post about cars. But don't worry, there are rubber bands in this post. Just hang in there. As a rule, I don't like cars. I don't wish to talk about...
I don't love my car at all. In fact, I am pretty sure that the Renault megane scenic is about the worst car that I've ever been within 40 feet of. It's certainly not very scenic.I may have neglected to mention in my post about flying to Australia that we actually had problems getting to the airport in the first place. It was pouring rain and the wipers stopped working completely. It was impossible to drive with no wipers in that weather.We ended up phoning streetcar, which is only possible because Mr Boxer Shorts has a work account with them....
They say that bad things come in threes. I don't know why that is. Google doesn't know why that is. (Google doesn't actually "know" anything, since it's just a bunch of code magnetised in the shape of a huge statue of Bob Geldof - bet you didn't know that.) According to some random guy going by the handle of "sleidman" bad things come in three because three is your brain's favourite number, and so if two bad things happen, then your brain wants a third thing to come along just make up the numbers. Sleidman, what are you ON?...
Ok, so (I've decided to start all my blog entries with "Ok, so...". This will probably last about 4 entries, and then I'll forget to do it completely for the rest of my life. But I digress...)Ok, so I've been looking at more note taking apps for the iphone, because so far I don't seem to have discovered the nirvana of notey-ness. And the problem really seems to be speed of interface. There are in fact three levels of speed. There is fast - the voice apps live in this level. You open the app, you speak, it's done. It's as...
I just wanted to go back to the whole iphone topic, and make a point of saying how integral that small piece of technology has become to my life.I have a saying whenever I need something... "There's an app for that".OK, so it's not MY saying... but it's so true! Whenever I think of something that I need to accomplish, I always have a look in the apps store to see if there really IS an app for that.And if I can't find the app that i want, I normally find other apps that it occurs to me might be...
Repeat after me..."I do not need the new iphone. I do not need video on my iphone. I do not need an upgrade.""I do not need the new iphone. I do not need video on my iphone.

I'm proud to announce the arrival of a new bundle of joy to our family... the Mac Mini. Yes, "mini me" was turned on and set up at 10.30am this morning, and is happily pootling away on my PC's monitor. The PCs are somewhat put out at being disconnected from their only monitor, but we don't really consider them part of the family anyway... Mini me joins evinrude (g5), girlie (imac), hiho, ichipod, pinkiepod and pauliepod (ipods) to make our lovely apple family complete. Mini me will be used to play movies and tv shows recorded via eyetv, and has...
