It has been a while since I have done a review of an application for the Mac. Correction it has been a really long time thinking about it. There is only one reason for this, and that is the simple fact that I had all the applications I needed, didn’t have a need or desire to look at any more as was more than content to be using my Macs after years of reviewing applications rather than just using them.
So what has changed?

If the applications were the customisation that made the iPhone useful, and let’s be honest until Apple opened up the SDK to developers it really was very limited, then the MiLi Power Skin (£59.99) is the Unleaded Super 98 that keeps it running long enough for the iPhone to be of real use.

Couldn’t resit giving the 99¢ Security Cam application for the iPhone from Crowded Road even though I couldn’t see the point of it!
Apparantly the application was first submitted to Apple in December 2008 but hasonly just been launched as the concept of using the iPhone as a spying device proved a stumbling block.

When Will There Be Good News by Kate Atkinson is probably the best Kate Atkinson book that I have read.
In rural Devon, six-year-old Joanna Mason witnesses an appalling crime. Thirty years later the man convicted of the crime is released from prison. In Edinburgh, sixteen-year-old Reggie works as a nanny for a G.P. But Dr Hunter has gone missing and Reggie seems to be the only person who is worried. Across town, Detective Chief Inspector Louise Monroe is also looking for a missing person, unaware that hurtling towards her is an old friend — Jackson Brodie — himself on a journey that becomes fatally interrupted.

Picked up a couple of neat headset adapters recently from the aptly named Headset Buddy company, that specialise in adapters for your headsets. As such it is possible, and extremely easy, to use your existing headsets with your PC, Mac, iPhone, Mobile Phone, Home Phone, Office Phone etc.
Having recently embarked on a bit of a de cluttering project I am all for anything that means that I can use less for more.

Living in Spain as a British Expat I am always keen to look at applications that make my limited use of the Spanish language better, so I was excited to take a look at Jibbigo which promised:
Your world just got smaller thanks to a speech-to-speech translation app for your iPhone.
Hmm what is the point of having a application launch on an iPhone with the message that this is the first time you have launched the application and suggesting you watch the introductory video which ……….. doesn’t work on the iPhone!

Possibly my favourite so far! Clever (but warped) back story of a prank gone wrong. Great characters, including the continuation of Detective Superintendent Roy Grace’s life. It is possibly the only book that actually made me gasp out loud at one totally unexpected plot twist, very unexpected indeed. Still a great read …. as ever couldn’t put it down and finished it in about two days! I must confess that I do like the use of ‘copy n paste’ that he uses from one book to another ….. gives a nice sense of continuity. If you don’t know what I mean read a few and you soon will!

Really enjoyed this book. Great (but sick) back story of snuff movies . Great characters, including the continuation of Detective Superintendent Roy Grace’s life. I don’t think I have any criticism of this book. Kept me guessing right to the end, realy well written and the plot had more twists and turns that a downhill slalom course. Couldn’t put it down! Still a great read …. as ever couldn’t put it down and finished it in about two days! I must confess that I do like the use of ‘copy n paste’ that he uses from one book to another ….. gives a nice sense of continuity. If you don’t know what I mean read a few and you soon will!

Really enjoyed this book. Great (but tragic) back story of 9/11. Great characters, including the continuation of Detective Superintendent Roy Grace’s life. If I had any criticism it was that compared to other books by Peter James it became too obvious what the twist was going to be a little early compared to other books. Still a great read …. as ever couldn’t put it down and finished it in about two days! I must confess that I do like the use of ‘copy n paste’ that he uses from one book to another ….. gives a nice sense of continuity. If you don’t know what I mean read a few and you soon will!

If you buy a Toyota Prius Hybrid you better have, or develop, good bladder control!
Last May when I was back in the UK I was impressed with my parents new Toyota Prius Hybrid, so much so that I said:
Without a shadow of doubt I would buy one as and when we finally need to replace the old Jeep.
My parents recently drove down through France and Spain to stay with us here in Almerimar, and they arrived full of praises for the car. It also gave me the opportunity to drive the car, both locally and on a trip we took to Granada.
