bluetooth headsets- realplayer 11
Mon, 1 Sep 2008 08:20:58 +0100
I upgraded to realplayer 11 yesterday, and immediately, my bluetooth
headset (tevion, i.e. Aldi!) wouldn't work. I'm on 10.4.11. Luckily, I'd
renamed realplayer 10, so trashed the newer version, and everything is
back to normal. Any reason why the new version should be incompatible?
Also, I've never managed to g ...

OT (utterly): Minor personal triumph
Mon, 1 Sep 2008 08:08:12 +0100
A spot of unashamed PR here. I ran the Nike Human Race 10k in London
last night and managed a new personal best, by some way, of 52 minutes
51 seconds.
This is not a lightening pace (although the race did actually have
thunder at the beginning of it and we were all utterly drenched). In
fact the site ranks ...

Time Machine: Finishing backup
Mon, 1 Sep 2008 07:13:10 +0100
What on earth is it doing in this stage? It takes minutes, for small
backups it often takes longer than copying the data it's punted across.
Any ideas what's going on?
Cheers,
Ian

Someone talk me out of this.
Sun, 31 Aug 2008 23:59:56 +0100
So I've been using a Mini as my desktop for a year or two now. The
current one is a top end 2GHz C2D with 3gig in. Lovely, of course, but
I'm feeling a bit cash-rich and seem to have gained a yearning for an
upgrade.
The upcoming release of Spore *may* have something to do with this.
All of the Macs in the hous ...

Sun, 31 Aug 2008 14:47:43 -0700 (PDT)
...bar the iphone, which i'm very familiar with but it doesn't fit my
needs, can anyone recommend a decent phone that syncs nice* with OS
X? bonus if it also does Lotus Notes (don't ask).
needs GPS, and a qwerty keyboard or touch screen. oh, and has to not
be WinMo. I'm thinking Nokia E71 at the mo, if anyone's ...

Word 08 unstable
Sun, 31 Aug 2008 18:43:14 +0100
How do others find Word 08? I'm finding it unusable, due to
beachballing regularly and repeatably after trivial actions (eg
copy/paste a simple table from one document to another). Said documents
were originally authored as a mix of Mac Office 04 and Win Word
(various): is this the problem? Wil things ease off ...

Harvest Massive Encounter
Sun, 31 Aug 2008 16:32:20 +0100
Good game! Get the demo here:
<http://www.oxeyegames.com/harvest/>
It's a base defense RTS, works well on my lowly Mac Mini and is very much
fun.
Not associated with it, just a fan.

MobileMe Mail: set UK date format?
Sun, 31 Aug 2008 10:47:58 +0100
After by rare sojourn into MobileMe's web front-end yesterday, I've
been poking about a little. One irritation is that the Mail app is
showing dates in US format, and I can't see how to change it. Is there
some preference I can set, hidden where I haven't seen it?
Cheers,
Ian
