My dad's taken his first foray into website design. Very proud of him.

Yet another metal fatigue on my bike

tim — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 09:32:30 +0000

My handlebar sheared off on Friday on the way home from work. I crashed into the curb, fortunately the car behind me stopped in time.

I spent 4 hours in A&E in Kingston on Friday night having a deep cut to my hand glued back together and have bruises on my arm and thigh from falling into the gutter as the bike crashed.

Should handlebars do that?

Am pursuing the bike manufacturer over this and 2 other failures on the bike over it’s 3 year life.

Wallee case for iPad – how to fit

tim — Sat, 20 Aug 2011 15:01:05 +0000

I bought a Wallee case for my iPad 2… Except it’s a very tight fit.

The manufacturer says this it’s tight (see below) but not impossible.

I watched the video of how to get it to fit but try as I might I could squeeze it on without putting so much pressure on the iPad I thought I might crack the glass.

In the end I put the case in hot water for a few minutes, dried it quickly and then finally did manage to get it on. I think they screwed up the design a bit but nevertheless it does fit. Don’t fancy taking it on and off regularly though.

Now got to figure out where to put it!

27 May, 2011

The Wallee for iPad 2 is a tighter fit than our case for iPad 1. This is intentional and ensures a secure fit that can be confidently mounted, at the same time allowing us to use a thinner, lighter plastic and keeping any extra thickness to a bare minimum.

Limitations

Another human paradox: We love to tell people how much we love transcending limitations.
And yet in our heart of hearts, we can get VERY attached to them. Sometimes obsessively so.
Like I said: Paradox.

Hackintosh – taking the plunge

tim — Sun, 26 Dec 2010 18:19:07 +0000

Following the success of my conversion of a Dell 10v into a very capable and portable Hackintosh netbook, I have been thinking about building my own high-end Hackintosh desktop for photo editing, and a general workstation for website design and possibly video.

Most important is that it’s a powerful machine which works smoothly on two large-resolution monitors, with plenty of future expansion capabilities.
This is the sort of spec for a real Apple Mac Pro:

Mac Pro

One 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon “Nehalem”
8 GB (4 x 2 GB)
1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s hard drive
1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s hard drive
ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB
One 18x SuperDrive
Magic Mouse + Magic Trackpad
Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad (British) & User’s Guide (English

Total cost £2,480

And my plan is to make something just as powerful for much less.

Obviously I’m going to have to do some work first…

Here’s the collection of parts which for £999 will/should get me a very similar experience:

Sony Optiarc AD-7243S – Optical drive £15.89
Zotac GeForce GT 240 1GB Graphics Card £95.84
OCZ Gold Memory – 2 x 4 GB – DDR3 – 1333 MHz £110.33
Apple Magic Trackpad £57.26
Corsair Force 120 GB Solid State Drive £171.19
Gigabyte GA-H55N-USB3 SKT-1156 Motherboard £79.21
Intel i7-870 Quad Core Processor £211.50
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1 TB Hard Drive, SATA £45.70
Lian Li PC-V351B – black £93.54
Targus Bluetooth USB Adapter £5.99
Corsair 430W Power Supply £38.37
Apple Keyboard £29.36

Plus my retail Snow Leopard disc…Here’s hoping… I’ll keep you posted.
