Last night I uploaded the final lot of photos from my Spanish trip. Most of them are pictures of Segovia and El Escorial. As usual you can view them here.
I’ve been playing around with the new version of iTunes with the podcast directory built-in. It works quite well. It’s reasonably easy to find what you […]

The latest version of iTunes with the podcast directory built-in is available. I have just downloaded it. I’ll post something about it later on when I have had chance to play around with it.
Want to play Windows media files on Mac OS X? Then download Windows Media Player 9 for Mac OS X.

I’m back. I landed a few hours ago. The weather, of course, is terrible. Grey, dull and overcast not to mention about 15 degrees cooler than Madrid. Maybe I’ll find out when the next flight leaves back to Madrid. No wifi access in Madrid airport though, well, none that I could find.
I’m glad to […]

Time`s almost up. I fly back to London on the 25th.
No more Spanish lessons for me. Today was my last day. As I couldn`t change my flight I have the whole of next week to do tourist stuff.

Finally, I have found somewhere with free wireless Internet access, The Irish Rover. The nearest metro stop is Santiago Bernabeu. However, don’t sit by the window. The signal strength is not good. Upstairs is better but for some reason it’s really dark. Now I can have a pint while I check my email. Makes a […]

What’s next? A 160GB iPod.
I watched Steve Jobs give his keynote speech at the Worldwide Developers Conference the other day. I always enjoy watching his presentations. Anyway, he had a couple of interesting things to say. He talked a lot about the switch to Intel processors. What was interesting is that Apple already have Mac […]

Surfs up! The next wave is here.

Microsoft has started to podcast.
The other day I was sitting in an Internet cafe using a standard PC to check my email etc. At the top of the screen was a meter that showed me how long I had been using the PC and how much I owed at that point. In other words, if […]
