IPad 2 and MIDI
Since getting my iPad 2 I have been amazed and dismayed by some of the music apps that I am particularly interested in, namely synthesisers, drum machines and recording. GarageBand was the first purchase, and for all it’s limitations, it is clearly a highly crafted product over some of the other products. Not surprising as […]
Apple failing on iApps to desktop app integration
June 28, 2011
Apple are seriously in danger of pissing off the professional crowd with inconsistencies and half baked offerings. There is no doubt that Apple hardware for as long as they have been around have always been ahead of the crowd, though often at the expense of some features. If you wanted to mess with the hardware […]
Ditching IE hacks for CSS3
May 12, 2011
It’s time that we as developers and web designers no longer take the flak for the shortcomings and blatant ignorance of Microsoft in it’s refusal to upgrade the CSS support in IE 7 and 8! As if the situation was not bad enough when dealing with IE 6, the ‘cool’ of web 2.0 (rounded corners) […]

Cracks appearing in the iOS v Desktop world
March 30, 2011
OK, I hope Apple is listening because they have a lot of work to do if they want to get businesses on-board and using their devices to help their workflow. Keynote It seems that the iPad is not just a post-PC device but a post “whatever your workflow was” device. I invested in Keynote for […]

GarageBand for iPad
March 29, 2011
For the last few days I have been getting over a really bad cold and chest infection, but that has given me time to play with my new iPad and one of the most highly anticipated Apps that I have looked forward to. At £2.99 why wouldn’t I ? The demonstration during the keynote looked […]
New iPad2
March 27, 2011
Well here I am after caving in to the draw of the iPad 2. Anyone who knows me will know that I am a long serving Mac evangelist – did you notice that? I said “Mac” evangelist – not Apple. That’s what dates my loyalty to the genre of computer hardware/OS choice that there appears […]

IE7 bugs
May 9, 2009
I have known about IE7 bugs – mainly the position relative and hasLayout – which was usually resolved with a fix that gave it height: 1%; in an IE specific style. But I had an occasion where this wasn’t working. There wa a lot of layering and z-indexing going on. Solution – just float: left; […]

HULU – US ONLY
May 8, 2009
HULU looks great. Some really great shows. But I am not in the US. So I can’t get to see any of it. This is a bit lacking on their part considering their mission statement: Hulu’s mission is to help people find and enjoy the world’s premium video content when, where and how they want […]

Goodbye Last.fm radio
May 8, 2009
last.fm has been on my iPhone from day one, just for the radio feature. I thought the idea of listening to favourites and suggested tracks was great while free. Now they want 3 euros a month for the privilege. Well that is a step too far. I don’t get to own anything I am listening to […]
