How to replace the internal battery in an iMac

Thursday, July 31st, 2003

If your clock resets itself to 01/01/1970 every time you restart your iMac then you need to replace the internal battery. I rang Apple when my battery died and they said it would cost about £40 to replace the battery and I’d have to lug my iMac to an approved apple dealer. The battery […]

IanLand™ Update…

Thursday, July 31st, 2003

It’s been a very quiet week so I haven’t really had anything to say. I sorted out a forum for nagval, I found out I’m not getting paid as much as I thought I was for the work I did two weeks back. I tried encaustic art for the first time and it’s good fun, […]

I passed my second year…

Saturday, July 26th, 2003

I got my grades back for last year toaday. I got a 2.1 for everything except the final photography project. Which is entirely my fault as I had two essays to write and I spent to long on the one I wanted to write . Which meant I ran out of time to write the […]

Setting up iSilo to replace AdvantGo

Friday, July 25th, 2003

In case you’ve never heard of AdvantGo I thought I should briefly explain what it is. AvantGo is a program that you install on your PDA and your computer. When you sync your PDA the program goes online and downloads the channels you have selected. Channels are like the channels on a TV, there […]

AvantGo is no more…

Friday, July 25th, 2003

Since AvantGo no longer
support
Macs (since OSX). I haven’t been using my palm as much as I did. I use it as an
address book and calender but not much more. Also, since I got my new Palm I’ve
been trying to get hold of a screen protector so I’ve been putting off using […]

Melancholy (or post-teenage angst)…

Thursday, July 24th, 2003

I went out to take some pictures (for nagval ) this morning and I was
walking around the woods next to the meadow, when I saw a broken string hanging
from one of the trees. It was weird, it made me feel really sad. It’s all that’s
left of the rope swing that Jay and Hallet (friends of […]

A day in Ikea…

Monday, July 21st, 2003

Today was spent in Ikea ,
I’d never been to one before and I have to say it’s a very weird shop. I found
some nice shelves
for my DVD collection though, I might go back and buy them next week. Jo bought
some selves for her CD’s, so after we got back I put them together and she
painted […]

Long time no see…

Sunday, July 20th, 2003

No updates last week as I was working for Caffeine all week (a company, not
coffee). I was working on poster’s
for Nando’s mainly but I did some work for other companies too. It
was nice to be back there again it’s a really relaxed atmosphere and the people
are nice. As a bonus I actually get paid for […]

Look Mum, no wires…

Saturday, July 12th, 2003

Yesterday my (belated) birthday present arrived from my brother, a
wireless router , so I went to John Lewis to purchase an airport card
for my mac. Today was spent setting up the network, which should have been easy,
except for there being no instructions with the airport card and as My iMac is
second hand I don’t have […]

Gaming Madness…

Thursday, July 10th, 2003

Today was a lot of fun. Rob, Brickhead and Tony (friends from A-Levels)
came over for a day of PS2. Unfortunately the brick has had an accident which
means he can only use one hand at the moment though he still put in an
impressive performance on Burnout 2!! The EyeToy was definitely a favourite for
playing and watching. […]
