» A few months ago, I interviewed Danai Chutinaton at Blue Pano, whose nice panorama images are used by several local companies for promotion purposes. He recently got in touch and sent me links to panoramas of the Siam area. He told me he had taken delivery of a new 44" Epson printer, which was installed in his new office near Samitivej Hospital. A few days later I called in, just in time to see a print job being wrapped up (http://www.bluepano.com).

» I have been examining a number of ways that new users of Macs and OS X can improve their experiences of the (almost total) change in how they use computers. While new Macs come with a large selection of software, including some repair and maintenance utilities, eventually problems appear. These may be caused by poorly written websites, quitting applications before tasks are complete, or corrupted data, among other things.

» When I started looking at some essentials for users new to OS X, I had intended to outline some of the utilities I think are valuable. In the interim, when my MacBook Pro arrived.

» During the Songkran period when I was in siege mode, Apple announced its new MacBook Pro range. There were disappointments in some quarters with the 13" MacBook Pro retaining the Core 2 Duo processors, but I was pleased with the 15" computers.
A warrior’s mentality to maintenance
Database, Graham K. Rogers, Published on 28/04/2010
» On several occasions while writing about OS X here, I have mentioned the idea of preventative maintenance _ fixing things before they go wrong. There is a school of thought that tells us “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’’, but a modern operating system has so many things going on that we cannot see (so cannot know about). Only specialist software will help.

» I am a long-time follower of Grand Prix racing and can remember as far back as the 1950s, although it was not until the 1970s that I saw a Formula 1 race at a circuit. I visited several races then, but nowadays have to make do with televised transmissions along with whatever news I find online.
