New pooch here as well. For some reason the bitch is called Bess. She arrived as a puppy and after a few weeks is now massive.

New bike

I’ve recently moved from four wheels back down to two :o I got a Honda CBF 250. It’s going well, enjoying learning something new. And having an excuse to wear leathers is just the icing on the cake.

MacBook + Coffee = tears

We had a coffee spillage here, resulting in a sad macbook. Two little things to come out of it though: Taking hard drives out of mac books is actually relatively painless. It merely involves 3 screws, a likkle screwdriver and an L-plate behind the battery. A little external hard drive case (nicely provided by Darran) can save a lot of bother. Simply remove the hard drive, insert it into the case, plug into another computer and with any luck your hard drive is up and running

Make your own ad

We recently finished a nice piece of work for O2. This is an application which allows the user to upload a photo, cut out a section, and then put it in an ad. Then the user can send his creation to his mates, opportunities for hilarity abound. You can view it here.

MacBook Pro Leopard upgrade problem

Nice one, upgraded to Mac OS X Leopard recently. All very snazzy and apple like, icons flying from this angle, little transitions everywhere. Recently though, when I go to type I get a big fat nothing on the screen. Theres more info here at apple insider about the mysterious unresponsive keyboard problem.
