Boot Camp 1.2 - Finally!

A new version of Apple’s Boot Camp software has finally been released. This version claims to have support for Microsoft’s Windows Vista - and to think, it only came out one day after I re-installed Vista. The great thing is that I don’t have to re-re-install Vista, as the new …

My Blog, My Rules

I’ve decided to go off topic as much as I like. The topic being technology and, for the most part, Apple. This decision came to me in the pub where I realised I wanted to proclaim to the world that Leffe blonde is just awesome and makes a good …

Goodbye for Twenty-Four Hours!

I have decided to take part in Shutdown Day. As such, i won’t be using my computer for the next 24 hours (starting in 58 minutes). I think I’ll read more of iWoz.

No, Really, Don’t Touch It

Despite having upgraded my iMac to Mac OS X 10.4.9 the day it was released, I hadn’t noticed any problems until today. That said, I hadn’t tried to do anything with my iMac bar browse the web, watch podcasts and play with PHP. So it came as a slight shock …

Butterfingers

Last night I wandered to the kitchen, carrying my PowerBook, in search of a drink. After locating a bottle of Volvic in the fridge, I decided to head back upstairs – laptop in one hand, water in the other.

Just as I reached the kitchen door, I stopped for a second …

It’s that time of year – the birds are tweeting, the flowers are blooming, baby lambs are doing whatever baby lambs do and… what am I on about? There was hail today, my cherry blossom is pretty much dead and I’ve never seen a baby lamb. However, it’s Spring and …

To take a normal screenshot, which will capture your entire screen bar your mouse, press Command + Shift + 3.

And The Winner Is…

I wasn’t sure how to do the draw, until my roommate Daniel suggested drawing names from a hat. Perfect idea - except I don’t own any hats. So, I went searching through my girlfriend’s drawer and found a couple of nice hats!

Here are the names of the people in …

From Me To You

As I said in my previous entry, this post is going to be a little bit different. Last week, as I mentioned, it was my birthday. As part of Zotgeist from macZOT, I received the application that they were selling on the day of my birthday. Well, I already …

Ceeeelebrate Good Times, Come On!

I’ve finally managed to move around enough of my blog behind-the-scenes to allow me to use steffanwilliams.co.uk rather than the extended /blog/. All the posts should stay as they are and if you try to access anything that was /blog/*, you’ll find you’ll still be able to.
