I have to sort out all of the photos, removing anything I don't particularly want on the internet, tag them and archive them.   Overall, I have close to 6GB worth of non-sequential photos, taken between 1981 and 2009, so I'll be tagging the people in the images (for my own use) and eventually organising them by the date they were taken.   At the time of writing, I've sorted through 1,000 of the first batch of photos (1,500 photos in total) and plan on uploading them to Flickr both when I finish sorting the final 500 and when I have the time to upload over 1GB worth of photos.


When I upload them, most of them will be out of order, but groups of photos that were taken at events or places of interest are mostly grouped together.

...OK, we get that it's supposed to be a tablet, which is traditionally defined as a rigid material used as a writing medium, but people are predicting an "iPhone on steroids", a portable touchscreen device that will run a new flavour of OS X, an oversized, colour-enabled eBook reader. ...  You may be saying that a large group of people are agreeing on a single design for the Slablet, but these people are getting their ideas from the tech-news sites, in the belief that because they're an accomplished site, they <b>must</b> get all the juicy information and the official specifications, but that just isn't the case. 

...Unless you have a device such as the Verizon or Sprint Mi-Fi, you'll only be able to connect to the Internet when you have an Internet connection and a wireless router at your disposal, which is often hard to come by while on the road. 

...One alternative is to allow users to pay for a data plan, completely separate to that of your iPhone - that would become too expensive - then there's the possibility that you could simply put a SIM card in the Slablet (leaving Sprint and Verizon customers in the US out to dry), meaning you could pop the SIM card out of your iPhone and right in to the Slablet, but, according to yet more rumours, that would leave you without a phone, because the Slablet is apparently too large to make effective use of phone capabilities.

Anyway, I bought season 1 as a Christmas present for the old man as somewhat of a Chipmunk gift, and downloaded season 2 off iTunes.   Doing so eliminated the suspense between each episode, making it more bearable to watch.   I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who isn't easily disgusted or offended.


I know this seems like a pointless blog post, but I'm bored and have nothing else to do.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Magic Mouse</title><dc:creator>MATT1604@AussieTechHead.com</dc:creator><category>None</category><dc:date>2009-10-31T20:05:42+11:00</dc:date><link>http://www.matt1604.com/blog/index_files/6e57bbdd307fdb01eafc99d12664f13b-6.html#unique-entry-id-6</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.matt1604.com/blog/index_files/6e57bbdd307fdb01eafc99d12664f13b-6.html#unique-entry-id-6</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Not only because the Mighty Mouse was an epic fail on Apple's part, but also because the damn scroll ball on my Mighty Mouse was shot to shit and only worked when it felt like it.   And hey, I don't want to hear you saying "just use a post-it note", because I tried that, along with a lot of swearing and temper tantrums, attempting to tell a hunk of plastic and silcon to work the way I wanted it to.


...To my surprise, the damn thing wasn't scrolling &ndash; the same issue with the Mighty Mouse I was replacing &ndash; but then I had the great idea of looking for software updates. 

...I tested out a few of the features Apple displays on the back of the box and found that they work just as advertised. 

...Anyway, if you use the Mighty Mouse and think that it's a piece of shit, I highly recommend you fork out A$100 for this slice of geek heaven, because it surpasses all of my expectations and doesn't have a pesky scroll ball that decides to lock up on you whenever it feels like it.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>A Few Updates</title><dc:creator>MATT1604@AussieTechHead.com</dc:creator><category>None</category><dc:date>2009-09-04T11:36:24+10:00</dc:date><link>http://www.matt1604.com/blog/index_files/e7dbe7e5d8eb67f7125aebded30439a0-2.html#unique-entry-id-2</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.matt1604.com/blog/index_files/e7dbe7e5d8eb67f7125aebded30439a0-2.html#unique-entry-id-2</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[This is all relatively old news, but I still haven't really gotten around to updating my blog. 

...My line in audio jack appears to have been fixed after upgrading to Snow Leopard (Mac OS 10.6).


...I've upgraded to Mac OS 10.6.


...My site is now hosted by Chombo, so my server is much faster than when I wasn't paying for hosting.


...I'll be posting a few new blog updates going in to more depth on these different points, so subscribe to the RSS feed.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Well That Just Blows&#x2c; but it&#x27;s OK</title><dc:creator>MATT1604@AussieTechHead.com</dc:creator><category>None</category><dc:date>2009-08-08T23:51:21+10:00</dc:date><link>http://www.matt1604.com/blog/index_files/51192a2706b0d2f550ca9fff412132bf-1.html#unique-entry-id-1</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.matt1604.com/blog/index_files/51192a2706b0d2f550ca9fff412132bf-1.html#unique-entry-id-1</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[I was looking forward to recording my latest app review for YouTube and my app reviews site, and I got everything set up, only to find that my line-in jack was screwed.   I have no idea what happened to it and I&rsquo;ve done various different things to test what&rsquo;s wrong, but to no avail.   I&rsquo;m going to have to get some help from Apple, possibly by way of the Genius Bar, but for now, I won&rsquo;t be able to have any decent-sounding recordings.


On another note, I was gifted a pro account on Flickr! :D I&rsquo;ll definitely be using it a lot more, from now on.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>New Site&#x2c; New Design&#x2c; New Blog</title><dc:creator>MATT1604@AussieTechHead.com</dc:creator><dc:subject>Blog</dc:subject><dc:date>2009-07-09T21:01:04+10:00</dc:date><link>http://www.matt1604.com/blog/index_files/0d8ed44198dbf72fb4a53c274d20a90b-0.html#unique-entry-id-0</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.matt1604.com/blog/index_files/0d8ed44198dbf72fb4a53c274d20a90b-0.html#unique-entry-id-0</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Previously, I was using iWeb &rsquo;09 to create my website, but I got sick of it. ...  Using RapidWeaver, I can make some awesome-looking pages and it&rsquo;s far easier to maintain.


You may have noticed that my app reviews page has also recently been redesigned, using RapidWeaver, so I hope you enjoy the cool new page.


You may also have noticed that this blog consists of only one post.   Well, the reason behind that is the simple fact that my previous iWeb blog had nothing in particular that I wanted to keep.]]></content:encoded></item></channel>
