Phurphuxake: MacBook back....
http://phurphuxake.blogspot.com/2013/02/macbook-back.html
Been having some issues with the late 2008 MacBook recently. It had started to freeze up at odd times since installing Lion and refusing to wake from sleep. After various attempts to figure out the issue I took it into the Apple Store for a "genius" to check. My 2GB of RAM was pretty much useless as the "genius" pointed out using Activity Monitor - just running a couple of YouTube videos dropped the spare memory down to around 20MB. So, installed more RAM in the hope that would sort it out.

Phurphuxake: MacBook Woes with some to's and fro's..
http://phurphuxake.blogspot.com/2013/03/macbook-woes-with-some-tos-and-fros.html
MacBook Woes with some to's and fro's. So after seven, or is it eight, visits to my local Apple Store with no resolution of the freezing problem I was experiencing on my MacBook, I had ended up with virtually a new machine wrapped in a slightly worn skin. With more RAM (up from 2 to 4 GB), a new hard drive (up from 250 GB to 500), a new Logic Board and finally a new Airport card I went away hoping that things had been sorted. Unfortunately it was not to be. I've railed against Apple previously over softw...

Phurphuxake: Ice balls II...
http://phurphuxake.blogspot.com/2011/06/ice-balls.html
And the quest for that perfect lump of ice to go into the gin and tonic goes on. 8226;••. The Muji ice ball mould (posted a few days ago) has had varying levels of success, with different mixes of water (plain tap, filtered tap, distilled, twice boiled distilled) and methods of freezing (straight in freezer, wrapped in freezer, in cooler bag in freezer). It looks like an Xmas bauble but is in one piece and definitely melts at a far slower rate than your regular ice cube. Twice boiled distilled water.

Phurphuxake: High Dynamic Range photos
http://phurphuxake.blogspot.com/2011/06/have-been-experimenting-with-bit-of.html
High Dynamic Range photos. Have been experimenting with a bit of 'pseudo' HDR tweakery on my photographs using a bit of software called HDRtist Pro. The results can be quite good and as well as using multiple image exposures it can also edit single images to produce the effect of an HDR image. A free version of HDRtist is available but it doesn't allow the same scale of manipulation as the Pro version. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). So it's gone now. Can't be bothered with it anymore.

Phurphuxake: Life in the fast (mobile broadband) lane...
http://phurphuxake.blogspot.com/2011/01/life-in-fast-mobile-broadband-lane.html
Life in the fast (mobile broadband) lane. Picked up a 3 Mobile MiFi the other day for use with a recently acquired Wi-Fi only iPad. The T-Mobile couldn't even get up a fast walking pace, O2 (on the iPhone) wouldn't get off the starting blocks but the 3 Mobile has surprised me by getting speeds of 2.5 Mbps. The inlaws were so surprised that it bettered by about 1Mbps their previous broadband service in their old property, they asked me to go online and get them the 3 Mobile USB dongle modem.
