Dropsafe

Hopefully this one will not have the lj-cut thingy of which Tess complained and which I thought I had removed… This is actually dead good fun, and educational too. I am getting to grips with CSS and all sorts of other technologies that I should have been playing with for the past few years, but…

Well – says he carefully, in consideration of this being the punchline of a really good shaggy dog story – this is a trifle bizzare… Like all good obsessive-compulsive neurotics with a new toy, I decided to feed the word Dropsafe into Google this morning, having taken the site live two days ago and having…

The weather is horrible; the Australian colleague to whom I was chatting yesterday told me: Whenever someone tells me they’re going to the UK, I ask them what kind of camera they have, and how fast the shutter-speed is, because they’ll need a good one in order to catch the sunshine. …which is a little…

…and is available from software update. First impressions: they’ve fixed a couple of niggles, like the KeyChain Administration widget which refused to appear in my toolbar, and i look forwards to playing with the Bluetooth updates. Now all I need is a Bluetooth Sniffer for macos, and/or time to write one for myself…
