Well, here we are in a brand new year – and a brand new decade. And I thought it was only right that (after such a long silence) I at least wish you Happy New Year.
Right, that’s that out of the way!
Do you make New Year’s Resolutions? I don’t normally, and I’m not planning to start now, but I’m going to make you a not-in-any-way-legally-binding promise that I will try to put something new here every week. I do miss writing the odd rant or software review, so I’m going to get back in the habit.
My excuse for not writing much lately is that I’ve given up my geek-centric ‘life’ in exchange for an actual proper life and so I’ve not had the inclination or time to spend hours sitting in front of my computer. I’ve discovered that it’s much better to be outside, interacting with people. Imagine that! Who’d've thought it?
But, because I’m amazingly lucky and have a very understanding other half, I’ve been given a great excuse for getting back to the geeking – at least on a part-time basis. Christmas saw a gift of a Mac Box Set (Snow Leopard, iLife ’09, iWork ’09) so I’ve been spending time getting used to the new OS and updating the software I use. That process has today brought me back to my blogging client and – finding that it seems to no longer be supported and is not bug-free on SL – I’m trying out others (I’m writing this in a trial version of MarsEdit).
Anyone else out there using Snow Leopard? What are the good and bad points? What new features should I be most excited about (I’ve moved from Tiger, so I hope there are quite a few new things I haven’t found yet). Drop me a comment and let me know.
