On September 26th, 2008 at 11:48pm Stut... My MacBook Pro is back from being repaired. Apparently they've replaced the logic board. Going to pick it up from the Apple store in Bluewater tomorrow. Might get some Christmas shopping done at the same time seeing as I'm going all that way!

On September 22nd, 2008 at 10:49am Stut... First MOT for the SLK this morning. No problems at all which ain't bad for 78k miles!!
On September 17th, 2008 at 09:17pm Stut... Grr, flippin' iPhone won't start. Apparently this is the "infamous Apple logo freeze". Restoring now, but without a backup because that's on the laptop that's current with Apple being repaired.

I think Apple might be hating me at the moment!

On September 9th, 2008 at 06:23pm Stut... Went over to the Apple store in Bluewater to get my MBP looked at. The guy behind the "genius bar" did everything I'd already done and he also couldn't work out what's wrong.

Since it's only 10 days outside its warranty he said they only charge a one-off fee for labour and another for parts. Oh, and data transfer will cost extra. Unfortunately I did a fair amount of work on Saturday that didn't make it onto my backup drive at work so I needed to protect the data. All in it was gonna cost ~160 quid so I bought the AppleCare extended warranty instead. At 280 quid it was the best option since it's now covered for another 2 years.

They've now got it for 1-2 weeks which is a major pain but at least I know it *will* be fixed. Work in the meantime will be difficult - I'm back on my very old Mac Mini and performance is not its strong point. Grrr.
On September 8th, 2008 at 09:30am Stut... Macbook Pro won't boot!! Light comes on but no startup sound. Tried resetting the SMC, PRAM and moving the RAM around but nothing worked. Gonna have tomorrow off to take it to an Apple store.

On January 30th, 2008 at 04:40pm Stut... Replied to a recruitment email from Paul Brogan of Senitor...

"Not interested.

You've used an email I've only ever registered with Jobsite, and I've removed my details from there so you must be using an old database. Please remove my details from your database, including any with an email address @mydomain.com and let me know when this has been done.

If I get any further contact from Senitor that I didn't request I will make a complaint to the ICO."
