  • Photography for Geeks
    I am working on a book containing all of the articles about photography I have written lately. I am also adding some content that has never been seen before. There will also be links to the video tutorials I have produced.
    In this I talk about how I am loving the NEX6 camera I am now using.

  • David Allen Wizardgold Chit Chat
    I don't like technology and I just bought a 27 inch monitor to add to my iMac on my computer desktop. it really is quite wonderful to have such a lot of screen space to put my computer stuff on the screen.

  • how to record an Audioboo
    Back to using an iPhone because the Android Audio app is terrible. At least it was the last time I tried it. I had to find work arounds to make it work.

  • A rant about electric bicycles
    I have just got myself an electric bicycle, in fact I bought a second-hand mountain bike and got an electric bicycle kick to fit to it and I'm very pleased with it. It means that I'm more likely to get out on his bicycle to get to work and back during the summertime. Without the electric motor fitted to the bicycle I am more likely to get into the car rather than the ride to work. I mean, who wants to get to work and be all tired and sweaty? Then on the way back home the last part of my journey is a climb up a very steep hill. I know that if I had to climb the steep hill every day of the week after being standing about work all day there is no way that I will do it. I will be getting the car out and spending the money on diesel same as I did before.
    I put a post up onto Google plus about getting an electric bicycle and there was a guy who thought that there are no good reasons, one might be just one why anybody should have an electric bicycle. He even reckons that you should call it something else other than a bicycle because it has more than just pedal power.
    Anyway another good reason to have a eBike is that it is fun. Nothing wrong with having some fun. I bet that guy is the sort of cyclist that doesn't stop at traffic lights when it is showing red.

  • The Dragon Rant
    often you will find that when you are dealing with larger companies you get worse customer service. Everytime you ring up you get talking to a different person and you feel like none of them are helping you when there is a problem that needs to be sorted out. Last year the company Nuance decided to delay giving me the software I had just paid them for guess they wanted to do a security check for some weird reason and then this year when I do the next upgrade I have another different problem with them.
    This time the serial number which is another thing that is a pain in the bottom for the general user of software, doesn't work and I was the whole day not being able to use the software I had just paid for. In the end out of desperation while waiting for them to deal with the problem I gave myself the ability to use the software in trial mode. At least it is working now and I can once again do some dictation and I'm quite happy because the new version of the software is much better than the previous version. Still need to have a proper solution to this difficulty as you only get five uses of DragonDictate in trial mode. Hopefully that is going to be long enough for Nuance to be able to sort out the problem. As you can hear in the audio there are other annoying little things in the way that the company deals with customers. In this case, without a doubt the company Nuance could do better.
