google chrome for mac

wayneward — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 20:29:10 +0000

ive just took the plunge and thought id try google chrome on the mac.. after using firefox from version one its been a while but sometimes nice for a change!! I can say the install was easy but isnt it always on a mac?… the gui is very simplistic and i like this a lot. Now the extensions i needed were mostly for SEO which i found some great ones actually better than the ones i had loaded before! i also found a great little ebay extenesion and a shareaholic extension which lets me post to multiple site! plugged in a nice little search bar and a pretty neat wordpress extension which is handy for fast blogs.. i found the usual digg / delicious and stumble upon extensions and of course xmarks which brought in all my bookmarks which id been syncing with the firefox xmarks extension.. alexa plugin works well so extensions 10/10 !! browser speed and rendering 10/10
so id say go for it ! i love firefox for being a great browser and certainly better than internet explorer – for lots of reasons including security!!!…

give is a whirl… available for windows and apple mac and linux!!!!!!! i just love multiplatform

Offsite backup program tests

wayneward — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 23:20:32 +0000

I tested three backup software programs – i wanted multiplatform – iphone client – reliable and fast back up – easy software – good prices

the failures-> spider oak and sugar sync
the winner -> safe copy!!!

spider oak fails to backup most of the time and the gui is awful – the iphone client sends the link for the file you want to restore but the link fails with file not found – just all round crap – the support team are actually alive and respond the next day which isnt bad but ive read bad reports of people loosing lots ot data so steer clear if you ask me…

Sugar sync!! what a joke ! i got the software on the iphone and computer – setup the account – it asks for activation – activate from link sent be email – still cant login – tried 5 times still no luck – sent email to support – no reply in 2 days still – utter crap.

Safe copy – easy install – looks after itself – 3 gig free!! 150 $50 – file versioning – iphone client works a treat!! no hassle – as many machines as you like added to the one account – this software rocks !!! upload through software or through a browser – easy restore!! – sent recovery files through iphone app and link works perfect!! 100%

busy times

wayneward — Tue, 04 May 2010 12:13:48 +0000

well ive been busy as hell with work and now looking forward to having our jake onboard with me
going to look at some cars today !! as ours is a tad stuck together with gaffa tape and cable ties..
got some interesting gigs in for me and my dad out of town which to be honest I prefer – looking forward to it so much
I light of recent happenings with the band/family i have decided to just drop all this and people tied with it from my memory
im sorry it ended up this way but shit happens so have a happy life.
got some new guys interested in the new band which are very talented musicians so im hanging around and hoping this comes off
im in no rush I just want it to be right – im going to take this band to high places and wont be playing in this area only big gigs.
Went to watch some good bands sunday – the section played well in the john o gaunt lancaster and then on to the pub to watch some rock band which were spot on they did some zeppelin tunes which were spot on – very tight and the vocalist could well cut it! – me and our lass were pretty well pissed by half twelve so got a taxi home were we had a crazy toy fight and fell asleep listening to some pink floyd – quality times. Ive decided to shy off facebook as its just a hole for people to start shit – its quite suprising the people stoop to on there statuses! oh well they well burn in hell with lucifer i wonder if the little shit stirrers would be happy paying a fee for facebook because thats all the likes of them are creating facebook todo – stirrers – murders there all on facebook is like a little breeding ground for the sad twats!
Well im going to look at some cards with our lass and get some shopping and visit my mum/paula and tony for a little catch up…
Ive got a full week on this week of work and need to paint my dining room and kitchen after the kitchen re-fit which david has done a nice job! he is that honest if you pay him he actually comes back and finishes the job! most people just get the money and run ey…!
Was a bit gutted to get the last minute cancelation at the globe on saturday were ready for it although it doesnt matter the gigs we have coming up are great places and out of this hell hole = no trouble
