8th Doctor: Caerdroia

Whilst this story is still part of this rather large story arc it wasn’t bad at all really. Some good ideas and 3 doctors! I won’t spoil the story on the off chance you plan to listen to it, but it did lead to a few slightly unexpected twists.

New menu, ‘Apps’

Posted by on in Admin

I know it’s a bit of a cliche really, everything is about apps now isn’t it. You just can’t get away from it really. Even so, there’s now an ‘Apps’ menu on the blog. What does it mean? Well it’s more for web apps that run on the site really, and nothing to do with iOS or Android apps at all.

So hopefully this section will expand over the next few months with some more interesting apps arriving. We’ll see. I’ll keep you posted.

The TC doesn’t like rDrum

I”m not sure that the old Tungsten C is quite as ok as I thought. I tried to run this app on it, and after the start up screen, this is what I got. Then the TC decided that it needed a full reboot.

It’s not about the numbers

Posted by on in Stuff

When I was writing Palm Sounds I took the decision, or rather the intention not to use analytics like google analytics as I realised that if you’re writing about something you love then why are you looking at the numbers all the time?

When google put an analytics module into blogger I lapsed a little and couldn’t help myself in checking the stats, but it didn’t tell me anything I didn’t really know intuitively myself. I think that unless you’re running a business of some kind those stat counters do nothing but discourage you or make you wonder who is reading and why.

I’m trying hard not to look at the stats on this site as for the most part I have no interest in them.

So if you’re reading this then please enjoy the site. I’ve no idea that you’re here.

A side order of Instagram

In case you hadn’t noticed I’ve put in a feed from my instagram account in the sidebar.

I like instagram. You can find some great shots and see some really interesting pictures.

Getting going with ThinkDB

Posted by on in Tech

ThinkDB2.5 is a very old piece of software. I think I’d lost my registration for this old Palm OS app, but I managed to find away around that. Even though this is an old app that doesn’t mean it isn’t any use, in fact, quite the contrary. As a little database app for Palm OS it is very functional indeed. To the extent that it even has a plug in architecture, although I haven’t quite remembered how to get that going as yet.

I’m slowly remembering why the Palm was such a great platform. Who knows, I might even go back to it!

InGladAloness released on the 20th

Posted by on in Music

New material from Dali’s Car is being released on the 20th of February. I’m really looking forward to the release, especially as it was the last music made by Mick Karn. So I’ve ordered my copy already.

Seems like there’ll be lots of new music this month.
