Kotoba - Finally!
Wednesday, February 1st, 2006
Since moving over to Mac a while back, the one thing I’ve missed more than anything else is the plethora of freeware programs out there for people who are studying Japanese. From fully blown Word Processors, to dictionaries and drill tools, there are a lot of them available on the windows platform. Until now […]
36 Degrees widget V3
Sunday, February 5th, 2006
That’s right, another update to the 36 Degrees widget for you to digest. This time it’s really a feature improvement rather than a graphical redirection.
The front of the widget now contains a search function, which when used will bring you to the results page of the site in your chosen web browser. Given the nature […]
I’m tired, no - really
Thursday, February 9th, 2006
I am so incredibly tired, if I didn’t have a lecture to go to, I would be sleeping right now. Why am I so tired I hear you howl? Ok, I’ll explain.
Yesterday, I woke up at 7:30, attended a lecture at 9am, and then took a train back to my parents house in Coventry. Pretty […]
A quick Mac tip
Thursday, February 9th, 2006
Ok, so I didn’t go to sleep. I’m going out tonight now so I’m going to battle through the sleep depravation in order to go socialise.
Anyway…
The reason for my second post today is that I found a neat little shortcut for all you mac users. If like me, you have more filetypes on your […]
The Final Solution
Sunday, February 12th, 2006
After fiddling around with front row and MediaCentral a couple of weeks ago, it was obvious that neither of them really matched my needs. The main priority was to be able to get the music from a couple of iPods playing in the lounge…
So, on a recent visit to the apple store on Regent Street, […]
Hello Stuart, This is Maureen…
Thursday, February 16th, 2006
The conversation went like this:
Me: Hello?
Her: Hello Stuart, This is Maureen from apple.
Me: Really?
Her: Yes, I’m ringing to let you know that the applecare cover on your iPod has expired.
Me: I See.
Her: Would you like to renew it for another year?
Me: No thankyou.
Her: Really, because it’s a great deal, you know, it covers virtually everything.
Me: […]
Getting smart with iTunes
Thursday, February 23rd, 2006
The best part of iTunes, other than it playing host to my incredibly tasteful music collection, is it’s ability to create smart playlists. The ‘Smart’ thing is present throughout OS X, from smart folders in the finder, smart mailboxes in mail, to those in iTunes. I can’t help feeling however, that I’m not getting the […]
The Kooks
Saturday, February 25th, 2006
Watching the NME awards the other night, you could have been forgiven for thinking that other than the arctic monkeys, British music is a pile of steaming shit. When the nations ‘leading’ ‘musical paper’ nominates coldplay and Franz Ferdinand for anything more than involuntary euthanasia, it is perhaps time to question said publications credibility. I […]
