Here’s something new for my Automation obsession:
“Greg Pierce at Agile Tortoise released Drafts 4 yesterday, and it’s a doozy. A new look and many new features, especially for those of us who like programmable…”

Upgrading to Mavericks
I decided that I should upgrade my Mac to OSX 10.9 Mavericks before the next version of the Mac OSX comes out, which might be on Thursday. These things are always a slightly tense moment, but in the end it all worked and here I am, running Mavericks. I hope that everything runs ok. It seems ok so far, but who knows?
Falling Skies: Season 4
So I couldn’t help myself. After watching season 3 the whole way through I had to get season 4 as well, and I’ve watched the whole thing now. Of course it leaves off at the end on a cliff hanger. I won’t give anything away though. I thought it was very good, and of course left everything open for season 5 which I believe is coming in 2015.
I think I can wait.
Something new in Automation: Drafts 4 brings a new hope to a favorite iOS utility
Here’s something new for my Automation obsession:
“Drafts lives in my dock on both my iPad and iPhone. Any time I start to write anything on my iOS device, I start writing it in Drafts, because I know that I can…”

The Beautiful Octopus Club Radio Show 2014
I thought I’d post this as it has a little bit about SoundLab in it and it’s a great celebration of what the Beautiful Octopus Club is all about.

I’ve been after one of these for ages now, and I’m really taking my time to enjoy this device and have some fun with it.
Edinburgh Fringe: Chaplin
Chaplin isn’t the easiest subject to take on in just over an hour, but this small production tried and I think that they did it quite well actually. They told his story very well even though there’s a lot to tell and it was a very complex story indeed. But overall I enjoyed the performance.
iPhone 6 update
Well, after spending an entire day out in London my new (arrived on Friday) iPhone 6 has made it through the entire day on a single charge. Something that my iPhone 5 hasn’t done in years. Well, probably at least a year to be fair. It did end up at only 10% of charge by the end of the day, but that was after almost 14 hours without charge. I think that’s quite impressive. For an iPhone anyway.
Falling Skies: Season 3
I missed series 3 of falling skies because our then cable TV provider was unable to actually provide a service for reasons best known to them. So when season 4 came out on Channel 5 I thought I might need to catch up. So I decided to buy season 3 on blinkbox and see if it was worth keeping on watching it. It was. In fact, I’ve become somewhat addicted to Falling Skies again.
So I’ve now watched the whole of season 3 and I’m ready for season 4, which I’ve only missed one episode of.
