Now that I’ve had some time to do my exams, get home and relax for a couple week or so, it’s about time I give an update on what’s been going on. For a start, I’ve finally got around to finishing the IBM Mainframe contest… almost. All that remains is one last question, which I [...]
Next week, exams are starting and in less than a fortnight, I’ll have completely finished my first semester at Edinburgh. It’s been a strange few months and it really doesn’t feel like it’s been that long. The work has all been fine but what really stands out is everything else. If you asked me back [...]
This week has been both fantastic and horrible. On the one hand, I’ve had so much work to do that it isn’t even funny anymore. On the other hand, I’ve had a lot of fun with technology events.

Secondly, in case you missed it, it’s Windows 7 Launch Day! We had a little celebration at [...]
Throughout my time as an iPhone developer, I have submitted a number of bug reports and feature requests, all of which have been responded to. That is at least, until I submitted a feature request for custom message tones. I have received no response at all. I honestly cannot comprehend why you are unable to [...]
Back in 2004, I started experimenting with Linux having used Windows exclusively for my entire life. By 2005, I had switched away from Windows completely. From then, I did everything I could to avoid using Windows. I installed Ubuntu on every computer I used. I bought a Mac. I bought a laptop so I wouldn’t [...]
Working in retail, I like to think I get to see a wide selection of members of the general public. You very quickly come to realise that the general public spend a lot of their time confused about one thing or another. Nothing has confused people more than the “Digital Switchover” and I do NOT [...]
