I haven’t taken a look all around the site, but it is worth a look it if you haven’t seen it already. You can find it here.
Category: Stuff
Yeah, just general stuff. Basically this is where I’ll put everything that doesn’t go anywhere else. You always need that kind of category right.
Happy Star Wars Day
Well today is official Star Wars Day. May the 4th be with you.
What else is there to say.
Hello May
I can’t believe it’s May already. I also can’t believe just how atrocious the weather is for May! Never mind, I just hope it gets better soon.
Lots of cool stuff to look forward to in May, and some new ideas I want to try out as well. I’m also hopeful that I might get back to making some music again as that seems to have dried up for the last few weeks.
Anyway, pinch punch and all that jazz …
1 Year since Elizabeth Sladen sadly left us
I couldn’t believe it when I read it this morning. A whole year since the incredible Elizabeth Sladen left us. I thought I should post something simple to remember her.
Why do mobile phones have app platforms and landline phones don’t?
It really isn’t easy to find a home phone these days. Whilst we have loads of mobile phone shops, hardly anyone stocks a simple land line phone anymore. Why is that?
And, more to the point, why is it that land line phones haven’t evolved in the same way that mobiles have? I managed to find two Android powered home phones, but both had bad reviews that really put me off. But seriously, two smart-home phones? Is that all? Is there really no market for something more advanced in the home? I find it very strange indeed.
An article by me at Music 4.5. All about data
I do like Music 4.5. Their events are really good, and their blog is full of interesting guest posts. Here’s one from me about data. Enjoy!
Discovering people on twitter
I got the latest Discovr app which helps you find people on twitter. I started with my old @PalmSounds twitter ID and found out where it was connected. Quite interesting results really, and quite fun to look at.
3G gave up
I don’t know if you can see it but just overlapping the Apple logo is that spinning thing that tells you that it’s doing something, or in this case, doing something for about 2 days. My jailbroken 3G finally broke and I had to wipe it to get it to do anything serious at all. Will I go back to a jailbroken 3G? Maybe, I’m not sure as yet quite what I want to do with the thing.
3 Monotrons
I love monotrons, they are amazing!
Thoughts about the iPad 3
So I’ve had my iPad 3 for a few days now, and of course it is lovely and all that. So what’s great about it? Well, for me, the best thing about it is that it isn’t broken. My iPad 2 had a smashed screen which meant it was almost completely unusable for the last 2 and a half months. The iPad 3 is lovely from that perspective.
Aside from that it feels very similar. The screen is better, there’s no doubt about that, and whilst that’s great to have it adds little in terms of functionality for any music app, which is one of my main uses of the device. The camera is better so I’m told, but as I never really used the camera it doesn’t make much difference to me either.
So, whilst I’m glad to have a functioning iPad again I can’t say that the 3rd generation unit has overwhelmed me really. I think there was more that Apple could have done to make this an innovative device, but perhaps they’re saving that for another time.
