notebook

I often write about the work I create, and sometimes write about the tools I use to create it, but I have never told you how I integrate my Mac with our Windows office (small O). What is the right way™?To do this, I use Parallels, which is a fantastic tool, and have recently been using it in Coherence mode. In this magical mode I can have Internet Explorer running next to Safari with no problems at all. I can have Access open importing a spreadsheet I’ve created in Excel for the Mac. All with no problems.The best advice I can give you is buy Parallels, turn on Coherence mode, and drag your favourite applications (different Internet Explorers for testing, etc.) into the dock. It’s fantastic, and so quick. 

It’s amazing!

The MacBook Pro that Vuture bought me is incredible. The whole machine flies (not literally, obviously) and running Windows in real-time alongside OS X is such a boon.

If you have the money, I would definitely recommend that you buy one of these beasts.

First impressions of this mouse are very positive. It feels nice in the hand, looks the part, and has enough flashing lights and buttons to keep everybody happy. It’s really smooth and precise (the lazer helps with this) and started to work straight away.

So far, it’s better than the IntelliMouse Explorer, and probably will overtake the bluetooth Mighty Mouse as my mouse of choice.
