Rain

Rain, rain and more rain it could start to get you down.

Personal cloud

So I have taken the plunge an brought myself a 3TB hard drive to use as my personal cloud, that way I have total control over my files and all of that sort of stuff.

Only thing is after I ordered it and paid for it I then started to read reviews on it, if you start to take all the reviews seriously then I don't think anyone would buy anything, I do wonder if some of the reviews are written by people who don't even have the item that they are reviewing!

So I have got myself a WD Live Drive it will be interesting to see just how many of the reviews are right and how many are wrong.

Drink of the day

The drink of the day today is.....

Pepsi Max with lots of ice, I know the weather here in the UK is not very warm or sunny but a pint of ice cold Pepsi Max just does a good job.

May

So it's very near to the end of May so why are we having temperatures of 4 centigrade ?

I know strange, but that's how the weather is these days. 

Cat

Cats on laps always fun

iPad

Why is it so hard to move 2000 photos from the iPad to the computer?

Books

Brought a some more books, it's like an addiction for me I must now have some 10 or more books to read that I also want to read but for some reason or another I have not read. These are book that I have looked forward to as well.

So the books that I brought yesterday where the new Dan Brown book which I believe is not just written by him I think his wife has a lot to do with the books but for some reason she does not get co author tagged, which is sad as she clearly can write or come up with plot twists or something, maybe one day it will be revealed just how much a partnership the books were.

Anyway I have his new book which here in the UK came out on my birthday, I have yet to even look through the book but from what I have heard else where it's been written like a screenplay for what that's worth, the only thing I want to know is is it a good story? Will I be entertained?

The other book I brought is on a road called the A303 which here in the UK is famous as the road that leads to the west and it goes past Stonehenge, the road is only 90 miles long but it does go through some great countryside and is one of the roads that I have traveled down many a time, in fact I had to travel down it to get to Newquay.

The last book I brought I think is the second to last book that Ian Banks will ever have printed its called stone mouth and looks like it will be a good read. You may ask why I can state that it is the second to last book by Ian banks the reason is sad but true in that he has terminal cancer with less than six months to live, he will be sadly missed as some of the books he has written have been good reads with great stories.

The sea

Sea watching is fun especially when it's a nice day, there always appears to be something going on.

Rest

It's nice to have a day when I can do nothing if I want to.

Breakfast

Not sure if I have ever recorded what I have had for breakfast before, or even why I should recorded what I have had for breakfast, but when on holiday a fried breakfast for some reason or other always tastes nice and does really set you up for the feast of the day.

Weather

So it's the right time of the year for it to be warm and there to be lots of sunshine. I at this time in Cornwall where by rights it's should be warm with lots of that stuff called sunshine.

So you can guess what we are having down here at this time?

Yes it grey cloudy very windy and cold, single figure cold..

I just can't figure out the weather this year.

Birthdays

So everyone has them, birthdays that is and I have one this month in a few days, the thing is that I am not that excited about it, I can remember when I was younger being very excited about having a birthday, but now it's really another day.

I suppose as you get older and the years pass by the fact that you are a year older is just one of those things that happens to you.

May

May then, and the weather has been a bit up and down, but better than it has been and that's all that counts.

Bank holiday

So it's bank holiday weekend so will it be wet or will it be dry?

I don't know the answer but it will be fun to see what happens.

iPad 4

I wonder if apple has brought copies of what the over makers of tablets produce, just so they can see where they need to go if they want to stay in business.

I think it's sad that apple appear from where I am sitting in the sunshine if you must know, that they are coming across as we know better than our users and this is what we are going to give you even if its not as good as what the rest of the market if offering and what's more we shall charge you a lot of money to own our product that is already falling behind what the market is already producing.

I hope apple don't fall into this trap as I happen to like the iPad but as you use it more and more there are some things on it that just start to get you a bit pissed off with some of the designs that apple have in in the pursuit of profit.

One of the things that I don't like is that 64G is not enough memory or storage I need more than this so why can't I just plug a memory card into the machine?

Why does the keyboard have no cursor keys? Is that apple employees never have to backspace more than once?

I don't know the answer to these questions?

My last thought is why is the gallery so poor in options to filter and sort? Why is there no facility to make folders? So I can store my pics by date or subject without them all being in the photo roll ?

Again I don't know the answers to these questions, perhaps I should do some looking on the Internet to see what others have said about the choices apple made when making the iPad?

Drink of the day

The drink of the day today is.....

Pepsi Max with ice and lemon and very nice it's is in the warm sunshine and the blue sky thank you very much.

Sunshine

Today was a sunshine day and very nice it was to.
