I know, I know, I am a useless blogger. In my schedule  I have regular “update blog” diary item. It is amazing  how I lack the ability to  keep to this commitment, though perhaps my personal trainer could also say the same about my running performance.

Perhaps I edit myself too much, lets  have a quick summary of what comes top of mind.

 

Apple released snow leopard – I've installed it on my 17' Powerbook – its certainly quicker  on the startup, and looks as polished  as ever. The install and backup process took forever as the upgrade made me reformat my hard disk before I could install, so I had to do a time machine backup and restore, which all worked well, except it took almost 2 days

I have had a couple of apps crash and the exchange support is nice to see, I don't like the way it mixes and separates views of the mailbox, its not really comparable to an outlook client.

It also forced me to upgrade my Aperture post the upgrade which was a bit of a surprise and also knocked out my dj Traktor software which needed to be upgraded again and will give me a whole new world of pain  as I try the setup with the CDJ and the Xone 4D is maintained. Anyway thats what dark winter nights are for.
