I can’t be arsed with an iPad. Do I get a Nexus 7? #seriousquestion
I find the iPhone clunky and I don’t like the closed ecosystem; I did once have an iPod Touch which was fun but essentially closed-off and gave me the same inert sense that I get from Windows machines – that it was essentially a single-tasking, read-only device. I’ve played with friends’ iPads and iPhones and…

Testing … 1 … 2 … 1 … 2 …
If this works it means the core of Dropsafe is back; still need to re-enable Crypticide E-mail and a couple more CMSes. Nonetheless it would be a good point to have lunch.

BBC News – Vast volcanic ‘raft’ found in Pacific, near New Zealand
A vast “raft” of volcanic rocks covering 10,000 sq miles (26,000 sq km) of ocean has been spotted by a New Zealand military aircraft. A naval ship was forced to change course in order to avoid the cluster of buoyant rocks, located 1,000 miles off the New Zealand coast. The unusual phenomenon was probably the…

New word on the rise in the UK: “shonky”
As a Pratchett fan I’ve known about it for years and it seems to be in common use down-under, but “shonky” is on the uptick over here: It’ll take more than one shonky film for me to lose faith in Pixar. Besides, the Dingwalls are in it. The Counter opened serving excellent coffee on a…

The phrase that disturbs me most in this is “rogue computer security researcher”
people-staring-at-computers When Art, Apple and the Secret Service Collide: ‘People Staring at Computers’ I really wasn’t expecting the Secret Service. Maybe an email, or a phone call from Apple. Instead, my first indication that something was “wrong” was a real-life visit from the organization best known for protecting the President of the United States of…
