BOHO: Big Office Home Office

Our software developers are corn fed and allowed to roam free in a natural environment. Our code uses no genetically modified products but we did drip a bit of paraffin on the fire to get it going.

If you were unfaithful ….

“If you were unfaithful, I would kick you out”.
“You’d miss me”.
“No I wouldn’t I would just get another Sky Digital box for the bedroom”.

Northern Soul

Snogging on the sofa with the new Apple Mac. Got her in the mood with some Northern Soul n iTunes. How about these for lyrics:

Breakin’ down the walls of heartache, baby
I’m a carpenter of love and affection!
Breaking down the walls of heartache, baby
Got to tear down all the loneliness and tears
and build you up a house of love

He’s light on his feet ..

For most of my career, I have believed that the following statements are largely equivalent:

1. I understand he uses an Apple Mac.
2. They say he’s light on his feet.
3. He is very interested in interior design.
4. I’ve been told he supports Manchester City.

But as of January the 2nd I have changed my tune as I have become the proud owner of an Apple MacBook Pro. With the King of Scotland’s help I have got up to speed very quickly and have been genuinely surprised how smooth and lovely the whole experience is.

The decision to go Apple Mac was taken purely for business reasons. My Dell windows laptop was unable to run the hairy development tools I use and wasn’t prepared to invest in another windows machine that would require bi-annual reinstalls and misery. Now that Mac are intel underneath the ability to run Windows apps (via VMware) is very reliable and the rest of the stuff I use like Eclipse and tomcat and PostgreSQL works natively.

Its all fab, if you have been thinking about switching, go for it.

633 Squadron

“Ahh, brilliant! Loving’ the hat, can I have a go? Makes me look like one of the Norwegian resistance blokes in 633 Squadron or may be Richard Burton in “Where Eagles Dare”.

“633 Squadron, oh it was like a film when I was a kid and ummm. Richard Burton? oh he was an Actor and I’m not good in hats to be honest. Did I tell you about when our cat crapped in my Deputy Dog hat?”
