Make My Way Back Home and Ill Learn To Fly

Sun, 11 Jul 2010 13:45:38 -0700

I Had the opportunity today to fly a small aero plane at an airport near my home. I was at the controls for the majority of the flight and even got to have 2 touch and goes and 1 full stop landing - all performed by me with the pilots hands off the controls!!!!! It was really windy and as you can see from the video I had a hard time keeping the thing true but all landings were successful.

Ive just got back from zante so expect a post sooon!

Why the Ipad Fails as a Tablet

Mon, 14 Jun 2010 10:42:44 -0700

Now that they have been out over on this side of the pond for a few weeks, and I am hearing too many people saying " I'm getting one of those ipads". I thought I'd just have a rant about how disappointed I am with it.

Now before I start the reason I am moaning about is not because I am jealous and can't afford one because if it was any good there would be one sitting on my desk now, I don't have one because in its current form it serves no purpose. Firstly in its current form - It doesn't multitask. That means that if I wanted to browse the web and open the Gmail app or play a game, I first have to close Safari I can't switch between the two. I have a Palm Pre that can do this!. Secondly No flash support for the web. I absolutely hate flash for a format, its slow, buggy and full of security flaws, but in order to get the full web experience you need it, as many websites are completely built upon flash. I have a Palm Pre that will do Flash August onwards.

itunes - I hate it. Its the worst piece of music library software ever - there is too much worry about piracy and not what the user wants and in order put music on the ipad you need itunes. But even so I could get over that.

You may have noticed my references to my beloved phone above and there is good reason for it, my phone does everything that the ipad does and more, minus the app store. It just has a smaller screen, therefore I cannot justify buying a device that I am going to struggle to find a use for. The ipad though appears to have excited the tablet market slightly and so we'll see what the others have to bring to table later this year.

While I am here though the iphone 4 looks outstanding and is already starting to address one of the issues I have above.

Anyway for now it looks like its either phone or netbook for the internet on the move, lets hope that changes soon!

Funny Stuff

Fri, 11 Jun 2010 06:10:54 -0700

I saw an advert on some channel for an American TV series yesterday morning. It was for a show called "Cougar Town". I'll be honest it looked really funny, but I was put off by it thinking would most likely be about 40 year women arguing with each other. None the less I wiki'd it and read that It had some pretty interesting people in it. Courtney Cox, Christa Miller and was made by the same people that came up with Scrubs.

I have acquired the entire first season from the "Internet" and have watched the first 8 Episodes and I have to say it is rather entertaining and if you find yourself at a lose end as I have this week, it is certainly worth looking at.

Bizzle.

Some Talent for a change

Wed, 12 May 2010 11:31:57 -0700

Download now or listen on posterous

Sandi Thom The Pink and The Lily.mp3 (3207 KB)

I loved the first album she did, I rediscovered it the other day when I sent my computer to shuffle and haven't stopped listening to it since. I remembered her second be awful so I avoided it like the plague. But I played a few tracks off it the other day and it seems to have grown on me.

Any here's track 3 off the second album - Wounded Heart I think.

She's got a new one out soon so fingers crossed its as good as the previous two - even though the second failed to chart anywhere in the top 40. - Just shows how much shit the British Public listen to when you have the likes of the idiot chipmunk in the chart.

Anyway have a listen you might like

Peace out.

Rolling with the new website.

Tue, 20 Apr 2010 14:20:00 -0700

I'll be honest with you, my previous attempt at a blog was rather lame and I really just gave up with it. I couldn't be bothered to think of topics that I could write and that people would be interested in. Wordpress is a bit shitty too. So when I saw my friend had one of these blogs that he could post directly to from his phone or from wherever by email - I thought hey thats a good idea. So goodbye computer help blog and hello new something blog. Ive decided that this blog will be all about me, and anything that generally pops into my mind, and as its going to be updated from my Pre ill be posting regularly. Just watch out i'm know to rant.

Anyway check back regularly to find out about my life and the crazy things that go on in my head!
