Second time in a week

You have 2 choices.

Start a new backup, which means wait while the old backups are purged from the NAS, then wait while the 400GB of data is backed up over the LAN to my ReadyNAS
“Back up later”. Ignore the problem and hope it fixes itself over the next day. And while you wait, you have no backup

Thank you apple, for the choices. Grumble grumble.

iOS5 is out

Start your downloads folks

Today is a sad day

Steve, you changed the way people look at computers, software, music and more. You will be missed.

Unusual

Steve leaves and things just start falling apart.

iOS 4.3.5 out

pmooneynet — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 07:06:08 +0000

I was all dizzy with excitement when “a new update” was available. Nope… not iOS5 yet.

Installing OSX Lion

pmooneynet — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 21:22:32 +0000

10.22pm. Starting install. I will let you know when I am done.

10.28pm. Install finished and restarted. So far so good. 6minutes to upgrade an operating system. SSD FTW!

11:00pm. Only casualties so far are GoToMeeting 4.5 and JVM, which had to be re-installed for Lotus Notes to load. New mail client experience is excellent so far. Trackpad gestures are very good but need rework to suit my preferences (that took 30 seconds). So far so good. Using in anger tomorrow.

11:30pm. Time Machine onto ReadyNAS does not seem to be working. Was aware this may be an issue. Will check see if update will be available from ReadyNAS tomorrow.

9:00am My ReadyNAS NV+ is still not compatible with Lion as it is Sparc based. Newer models need to update to the latest version of firmware. I have local drives for TM anyway if required. But, this morning one of the ReadyNas jedi council tweeted this.

So hopefully not too long then.

Downloading

With my supercrappy virgin broadband ADSL link, this should be ready to install tonight at some stage.

iOS 4.3.4 out

pmooneynet — Sun, 17 Jul 2011 11:00:21 +0000

Only a week (or so) before iOS5 to fix PDF exploit.

Thank you Declan

Declan Lynch was good enough to send me over his old iPhone 2g. I never had this model, and wanted one for presentation/collection. Very much appreciated sir.

This can’t be good

I knew it was acting up over the past few days, but the device after charging is almost too hot to touch, then this. Battery life is also useless. Trying soft reset and full restore.

Update – full reset partially works. No spike in heat until traveler installed (EAS).

Update2: – full os wipe and set up from scratch. All ok until EAS setup.

Update3: - device replaced in apple store, Belfast. Genius guy picked it up and went “ok.. that’s WAY too hot” and immediately sourced a replacement. No argument. No fuss.
