Ubuntu / iTunes

Posted by Joeb on December 8, 2007

Ok so I’m using Ubuntu at the moment (which means I’m not using Windows Live Writer - incidentally, that is a brilliant piece of blogging software in my opinion!).

I have to say that I’m pleased with how well everything’s gone with Ubuntu, everything works, I have flash & java installed, and it auto-connects to my home wireless and Uni wireless :)

One thing that I’m missing a lot is iTunes, as there’s no native version for Linux (but why?!?!) Apple seem friendly to open-source development, anyway I’m using Rythmbox now, which reads all my music from my Vista partition which is nice…saves me a ton of space on the hard drive :)

That’s all for now

Apple iPhone

Posted by Joeb on November 12, 2007

I went into the O2 shop in Leicester today, and they have 8 iPhone’s out on display. Before the launch, I was a bit wary of wanting one, because they didn’t look that good, but…I’m sold! I really want one, although I can’t justify the price.

£269 initial change for the phone itself, then £45 a month (for the decent contract) which is a lot of money, but I would use all the features on the phone.

Anyway, thought I’d just say that I’m sold on them, and I think they’re a brilliant gadget :)
