Firefox 7 has a new feature following in the foot steps of Chrome and Opera. When you type an address into the address bar the protocol part of the address (e.g. http://) gets hidden. Apparently “this makes the location bar more user-friendly.” Unless you’re a developer and you have the Omnibar plug-in and the http:// [...]

The now you see it now you don’t Library folder in Lion
24/7/11 – 21:46
Having gone round the twist because I could not see my Library folder in finder, but could see it in the terminal, in OS King of the jungle (Lion). I think this tid-bit is worth an echo. Apple have hidden the Library folder in Lion just in case any newbies might try and do something [...]
Apple Lion Server Downgrade!
21/7/11 – 22:43
Arrgh-pple! Look bright shiny new operating system and a “server for everyone.” That’s a server for everyone who hasn’t used the last few versions. The price for the OS and server seem reasonable enough. The OS improvements are nifty if somewhat superficial (as far as I can tell). But what in the name of Jobs [...]
Waiter… Spell check please?
17/3/11 – 21:32
Here in Oz we have an electrical goods company called Retravision. I tried typing this into the Google search box in my iPad this evening only to have the very helpful spellchecker turn it into “tetra idiom”? Go figure! So what then is a tetra idiom: a manner of speaking in four parts or possibly [...]

A New Platform
8/12/10 – 10:30
Now I have explained my absence from this virtual domain and new work role I can get back to boring all and sundry with my pearls of wizendom. My new position has come with an unwarranted technical imposition. I’ve not managed to convince my employers that I could be more productive on my beloved OS [...]
AstroBoy, AstroBoy, He is brave and gentle and wise and CGIed!
30/10/09 – 22:50
After the Wachowski Brothers frightful anemic technicolor yawn version of Speed Racer I’ve been wary of move versions of classic kids anime action series. Thankfully the brothers had nothing to do with Astro Boy. The latest movie of the classic series I watched as a kid has stayed true to the style and spirit of [...]
We'rrrre Baack

There is a long and frustrating story about PSDC’s recent absence from the interweb which I’ll post very soon (if you know me that means maybe never) but for now “We’rrre Baack!”
Update to Nowhere

Some of you may have noticed the site was down for a while from about 4pm on Thursday till about 2pm Friday. In the tradition of mice, men and plans here’s a brief explanation of what when wrong. Having logged into the WordPress back-end I noticed a minor upgrade was available for WP (2.7-2.8) so [...]

For a short time now I’ve had delicious automatically posting my bookmarks to my blog. Having discussed this feature with one or two regular readers I’ve decided to discontinue it. If you do have an interest in the kinds of sites I’m visiting you can still view my bookmarks at http://delicious.com/pstagg
