I’ve now had my iPhone for 50 days, so thought I’d give you all a quick review.It’s incredible!
But, I have decided to jailbreak it — which, by the way, is pretty easy to do.
The main reason for jailbreaking the iPhone, is because you can’t send a text message to multiple people, which in my opinion, is [...]

I host all of my website with Dreamhost. I think they’re fantastic — a little slow, perhaps — but they’re full of features, and let you install all kinds of goodness on their servers.
Recently, however, I have been struggling to get Ruby on Rails working on their domains. I have been fighting an uphill battle [...]

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.

One week ago today I started fulltime work at Vuture.
Today, Vuture ordered me a brand new 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro! (For those of you who don’t understand “Geek speak”, that means: kick-ass laptop).
I’m very excited!
Thank you Vuture!

I have fallen in love. Seriously, I’m truly, truly smitten with Coda from Panic. It is a fantastic bit of kit, and by far better than Adobe’s Dreamweaver CS3.
The page views are stunning, the FTP integration and large Publish All button works incredibly well.

I know, I know: it’s just a camera. But the colour reproduction is incredible, and the lens is phenomenal. Today (about 24 hours after the camera arrived) a fisheye lens arrived from eBay.
The photos I have taken with it will appear on flickr tomorrow at some point, but taking photos on a beautiful camera that [...]

I’ve just ordered a Canon EOS 350D digital SLR camera. It’s a 8-megapixel beast, and the picture quality is amazing!
Here’s a sample photo, taken on my first day with the camera, to show off how good the lens is:

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 [...]

It’s almost 11 o’clock, which means I’m halfway through my evening. At 2am I can go to pick up my girl, which is nice because it means I can expect to get about 4 hours sleep tonight.
Honestly, I’m not complaining; I’m used to late nights, and she really deserves to go out (good A-levels = [...]
