Spot the deliberate mistake:

I just got a new drive for my MacBook (MacBook2,1 – black) and am quite pleased with the simplicity of the process. First up, I didn’t need to add a jumper to throttle the SATA II drive down to SATA I speed. I put it in, it was recognised OK. The drive is a Seagate [...]

I recently helped out updating a friend’s online shop: Nunoya in Barcelona. As well as the obvious stock of kimono and other clothing items, they have some cool accessories. But my favourites are the Kokeshi, which I don’t remember having seen before – slightly mad (in a good way) dolls that look a bit like [...]

Birthday girl.

I’ve just been trying Mailplane which is a nice OS X desktop app for Gmail. Drag and drop to attach a file? Check! Automatically take and send screenshots? Check! Send pics from iPhoto? Check! Optionally optimise photo attachments? Check! Growl integration? Check! The screengrabbing and sending in one swift move is very nice, if you end up doing that sort of [...]

It would be unbelievable if it wasn’t something I’ve almost come to expect here: Movistar’s iPhone page only works in IE.

Due to a perfectly healthy addiction to My Name Is Earl (I discovered it late) I now have a perfectly unhealthy desire to listen to Lynyrd Skynyrd. Frighteningly, they have a cruise! Maybe it’s been going on for a while and I just missed it too…

Did you ever notice that the bread from Ikea is made in a place called Bredbyn in Sweden? ;)

Nice watches on ebay at Poljot Watches, and if you’re a penguin-bothering type of geek, especially this one, with 24-hour dial and penguins!

Trying to buy a Wifi connection card last night (or this morning, to be precise) I got a message from Telefonica’s online shop: “Store open between 12:00 and 07:00″! What, the shopkeeper needs some downtime? I’ll refrain from saying “bloody typical”. Oops, just did…

Uh-oh, a few hours into 2008 and I’m searching for wifi access points in Manchester. I’m not sure if that’s a good omen or a bad one. Anyway, Happy New Year and if you’re a client, as you can see I’m just as connected as usual. (And BTOpenzone… steep! Need to get sorted for Fon ASAP, although [...]

Thanks to Tom for this story on upper lips stiffened by a bit (or a lot) of furniture.

Like the last 10 years never happened: “A new Sales channel: INTERNET.” It goes on: “You’ll have access to our website, like a directory, so that clients can find you…” What will they think of next? Seen at Sonimagfoto, which I have to say was very disappointing, compared to the last time I went, which was [...]

I like this. Nice.
