So I have an iPad a few weeks now. I am really happy with it. It has had a key impact on my life – my laptop is switched on very rarely now; in fact only when I want to do something with iTunes on it (which reminds me – I need to do something [...]
I want an electronic reader that:
reads pdfs
loads zinio
displays in colour
is not manufactured by Apple
costs around 300E
has more than 64gig storage
Currently, no reader on the market does all six of these.
I haven’t found an Android tablet that costs less than around 600E, or, indeed, a Windows based on (although apparently they are in the pipeline). And [...]
I thought this was cute….
We7 recently launched here so I decided to go take a look. It’s currently playing me Radio Conjure One which is nice.

So, for my sins I have experience writing assembler (beat that), Java (hmmm) and that other stuff what’s it called, Visual Basic (cupla versions ago, let’s not brag about that) and am in the process of looking at possible Masters options. I can sort of battle my way around some php but with quite a [...]
