Geeklawyer is a bit hacked off with Apple’s new Leopard OS - what with one thing and another. The thing is about as fucking stable as Princess Diana (hopefully it won’t produced as many retarded children). It really is suffering from Second Son syndrome: iPhone has the looks intelligence charm and press coverage - poor […]

Geeklawyer was whinging the other day about Leopard. Having bought the Apple line it was a brilliant OS (yea stupid Apple fanboy) he was a little hacked off to discover that in reality she farted in bed. It seems he is not alone. In Geeklawyer’s case some of the issue seems to be related to […]

Geeklawyer has a dual screen 24″ iMac. When it was running Tiger it was rock solid. After Upgrading (?!) to Leopard he has been plagued with instability and crashing not seen since he ran Windows 98. The screen will lock up for 15 minutes on end - though background processes appear to be working.
In the […]

Geeklawyer did titter a bit at this bug report for the Totem open source movie player.
For edification of the non geeks among you: it is considered good form to submit bug reports for open source software to help developers squash them.
This fellow did so while omitting to clear the films he was viewing at […]
Geeklawyer is off to Wolverhampton this weekend. He tires of the dreary suburban south. He longs for an exotic far away location with dusky maidens; the fragrance of palm trees lit by the glow of a radiant golden sunset; for the merry laughter of children playing freely; echoing halls of lavish art in marbled […]
So, the equipment has arrived. Love and kisses to the Law Society who not merely embrace Information Technology but give it tongues and a good spanking. Ruthie was keen to get the back off and see the magic pixies that make it work, but then remembered her Faustian pact. She set to work quickly […]

Geeklawyer is not one to bear a grudge. Honest. It’s true that he has had an unfortunate experience with the Nokia N800 Internet tablet. They show signs of making up for it with a great new toy: the Nokia N95 smartphone.
Geeklawyer has been sticking with a functional but dull […]

Yes, Geeklawyer apologises to those sensitive lawyers not able to bear his brusque and intemperate language. But really, he is utterly utterly upset. He bought the new Nokia N800 Internet tablet because it really did look like the ultimate Geek PDA toy: an absolutely OMFG drop dead gorgeous thing. A PDA sized device with a […]

News.com has done an interview with Linus Torvalds in which he is said to be pleased with the new GPL version 3 draft. Keeping Linus happy is a good thing since he controls the largest and most important Free/Open Source software project around: the Linux kernel.
Having read the interview it looks more like he is […]

Geeklawyer is pretty much unimpressed by the Windows Vista publicity blitz hailing the new release of Microsoft’s new Vista operating system: yea, the visuals look pretty slick at least based on the publicity seen so far, but he’ll reserve judgement until he’s seen it running and decide if its significantly better than OSx. He doubts […]
