Oddly the same day I post my MacBook pro to it's lucky new owner:(. My 2g iPhone arrives in the post. Bit of an inplanned purchase this, bought in a shock eBay bargain moment. I wanted to replace my BT Anywhere HTC620 because as I have said before Windows mobile is terrible. Anyway once I had my new iPhone all I had to do was upgrade it to 2.1 and unlock it. This turned out to be slightly more fiddly than the interweb will have you believe.

This morning, I flicked on the media centre to listen to some music, browsing to music library and the music is jumping all over the shop. What appeared to be happening, was media centre re scanning my library. This was very annoying particularly as I hadn't added anything in a couple of months. So whats the solution, seeing as the wife has gone Christmas shopping, I decided to format the system and install OSx 10.4.9 an uphuck release. bit ott?

Thought i'd list a couple of Mac OSX annoyances, as you generally dont see them documented any where. Bare in mind I use Linux, OSX, and all windows flavours (including vista (ick :P )), so I constantly flick between them.

Just been playing around with leopard for a couple of days now. No problems with Isync and my (Nokia 8800) or my wife's (Sony k800i) hoorah!. However I just went to send a text message to my wife using address book over bluetooth, as I would of in 10.4 and the feature has been removed. There appears to be no mention of bluetooth at all in address book.

Last night rebuilt my Mac book Pro with leopard, a very painless exercise. First new and amazing feature, the welcome movie is now full screen! The OS UI has been tweaked every so slightly notably making the top bar slightly transparent and the dock is now a bit shiny and a bit slanty. Your probably realising that the new features are a bit weak so i'll list them:

Found another missing key on the macbook pro (probably the macbooks too). The delete key is quite conspicuous by its absence on the keyboard. However this isn't a great draw back as 99.9% of mac software don't appear to use and rely quite rightly on the backspace key. I have only found to reasons to find the delete key, the first is in RDP sessions to a windows machine and the second is using PSI to map msn gateways etc. to my googletalk account.

This has been superceeded by a Nokia Series 40 script Update: i have created a script to make plugins for any series 40 nokia here

So I have been living with my Macbook pro for about a week now. I'm still very impressed, I have discovered MAMP a MySQL Apache and PHP, which is making my random web developing very easy. I can see why designer types use macs. The the way the interface is layed out, so the would be windows file menu is always at the top simply makes sense, (though perhaps not immediately).

I recently took delivery of a spangly new macbook pro. I needed this as I wanted to use it for web development and some surfing etc. I am and have been using Windows for about 13 years, quite a long time, but not huge compared to others in my industry. Professionally in IT I have a different view point to most of my counterparts,

Finally my macbook has arrived. So now I can do rinky stuff like publish entries like this one from a widget, widgets like Vista Gadgets but the spelling is subtly different! I can talk now, have new toy to play with!
