Erm... I actually just said this to Dylan... a bit weird.
James: Happy that I somehow seem to fit into your highly strongly typed interfaces
James: <geek />
James: Though I suppose I haven't exposed all of my methods yet.
James: We shall have to see how compatible I am with further reflection.
James: Whether I forget to implement a few bits of the interface.
James: <geek level="9000" />

Elevation Dock: The best dock for the iPhone
Buy it. It’s amazing. I backed $170 (£107.04) for one of the green/orange ones, but haven’t yet decided which one to get. To be perfectly honest, I want both, but not entirely sure that’s sensible. Would be $320, which is £201.49. But the coloured ones won’t ever be available afterwards. Eeek… I don’t know what to do! Somebody make the decision for me.
This is the video for it:

The leech of Europe
What on earth is the point? We don’t use the same currency, we don’t really get involved with them much, we have feuds with half the countries and we’re not even physically linked! (Well, other than the channel tunnel, anyway. Not naturally.)
N.B.:- this is another one of those “ideas” posts which aren’t in any way sourced any are based only upon my general impression of things. AKA:- likely to be rather naïve, unrealistic and just plain wrong!
Apparently the big reason for us being in the EU was (note “was”, not “is”) that it was apparently far easier to do stock market trading if we were all part of one “thing”. Now, of course, it’s not quite like that any more. Today, truly international trade is commonplace and really, it’s pretty easy. Money, shares, etc. are all done digitally these days and it’s not a big deal to do trade across to the other side of the world.
Additionally, other than the odd couple of countries which are doing fine, the majority of Europe are crashing and dying. Their economies are collapsing and the countries who aren’t doing too badly (Germany and us) are pumping huge, crazy, ridiculous amounts of money into them, trying to restabilise them. Unfortunately, they’re run by complete idiots who then go and bankrupt them again almost immediately.
My opinion? Well, I think we should just ditch them. We aren’t going to lose our trading links - they can be redone in a matter of days (very, very big assumption, but I’m pretty sure). We finally won’t be connected in any way with the French (hehe. I don’t actually mind them too much, but love the stereotypes). Our economy (I think) would probably be more stable if we haven’t got “the leech of Europe” on us all the time.

Mac OS Spaces… Y U SO SHIT ON MULTISCREEN!?!
Title explains all, methinks.
I love Spaces on Mac OS. Really, really love, but I have one little (but actually quite significant) hangup about them. When you’ve got more than one screen connected, the way they work is just downright crap.
For a brief explanation to anyone who doesn’t have a Mac/doesn’t use Mac OS, this is what spaces are: (Hopefully, I haven’t disclosed too much from this screenie…)
When you connect another monitor, the behaviour I would expect is something along these lines:-
- You’ve shown a list of screens and a list of spaces. You can drag any space to a screen.
- You can drag one space to multiple monitors.
- Perhaps drag a space across multiple displays at once to make it a double/triple/whatever width space.
This is not the behaviour I receive. This irritates me.
The behaviour which I do receive:-
- Spaces are double/triple/whatever width.
- Spaces move on all monitors if changed on one.
- If app is in full screen, it displays only on the primary monitor and the rest of the monitors show the lovely background of Mission Control, effectively making paperweights out of my two £1000 Thunderbolt Displays. (The two displays I wish I had, not the ones I do have… I don’t actually have any. :( If you feel like buying me one or two, please go ahead… :P)
It is wrong at the moment. Fix it please, Apple. There are very, very few design mistakes in Mac OS, but this is definitely one of them. Fix it.

The curse of (such immodest) intelligence
Have just been chatting to my oh, ever so lovely bf (he said he was going to read it on the way to college tomorrow, so I should be extra nice to him!) and I realised that I’m feeling a bit shitty tonight. Few reasons for it (partly him, but whatever… hehe), but one overriding one.
I don’t know how many of (the very, very, VERY few of, I would expect) you can relate to this or know the feeling, and I sincerely apologise for my immodesty here, but as someone who is generally pretty intelligent (SORRY. I actually hate writing it (like being a self-proclaimed entrepreneur), but no other way to do so!), I constantly get the feeling of dissatisfaction with my abilities, success and achievements. It’s so fucking awful.
Today, this feeling was brought on as a result of chancing upon my other half’s website from when he was younger. (I don’t think I’ll link it here, but let me know if you want to see it.) He was about nine when he made this website. And it’s a good website, because it has content and really, really decent content at that. The design isn’t quite (at all) there and it’s all cobbled together with a bunch of Bravenet plugins, etc. but it WORKS and puts my efforts of that age to shame. (Though I did have a 100% homemade forms auth login thing.)
Small update: he’s fine with me linking it, so here it is: http://www.unmod.co.uk/
Anyway. Being the type of person I am, I am constantly dissatisfied with myself and what I do and constantly feel that I’m not doing enough and that I need to work just that little bit harder. I’ve also never, ever had any kind of publicity from any of the work I’ve done, which is really, really disappointing because I work so hard on so much stuff and I just do more and more and I fear (my Mum keeps telling me this, but I haven’t really been listening to her) that I’m going to run myself into the ground trying to do all this stuff (atm, I’ve got about 25 project that I want to do, simultaneously working on about 7) and I know I shouldn’t do this and I should just wait and one day I’ll really get my “break”, but it’s frustrating and upsetting, solely for the reason that I’m never satisfied with myself. Maybe even when I do get my “break”, I probably STILL won’t be happy. I don’t know what to do about it. :(
If you’ve got any suggestions to stop me being so pathetic or how to be happy with myself or whatever, please (srsly, please) email me, Tweet me or leave a comment below or send something to my “ask” or “submit” page or whatever.
Don’t really want to write any more about this. Can’t really remember even what I’ve said so far, but I’ve probably got across my general feelings, which I guess is the point of this anyway.
P.S.: Also, does anyone know of any way that I can add inline “notes” to my posts to replace the constant brackets I put into my posts which can then be hovered over or whatever? (Comment below this post when reading on my blog itself if you have any ideas.)
P.P.S.: Btw, I just sent the people who are doing the gov.uk website an email saying that I’m desperate to work for/with them on it and I’m hoping something happens with it. Wish me luck!
