Watching the television series called Ringer with the actress Sarah Michelle Geller in it, it seems to be a low-budget series and there are one or two holes in the script.

Why is it that women of a certain age turn into Crazy Cat Ladies and have the constant urge to feed all of the wild animals in the district? Mother-in-law's, neighbours and women at the campsite all want to feed the poor little kittens, pigeons and other vermin.

I followed a YouTube tutorial showing me how to root my Nexus 7, it really wasn't too difficult. I rooted it so that I could use some software that wouldn't work otherwise, although I have to admit is not working terribly well at the moment. It seems that I have a little bit more twiddling and fiddling to do.

I have been restoring from backup the Nexus seven following rooting the device. Needed to route it so that I would be able to use it for creating android tutorials. I also had to download some iOS updates for the iPad and for the iPhone. It seems to be going well but taking a very long time. If only I had a better Internet connection that would allow me to download stuff much faster.

talking about getting ready for making tutorials using the Nexus 7, and the need to root the device and to set up other applications such as cam scanner. I really like the idea of going paperless and I have been using scanner applications on my iPhone and also now my android devices so that I can scan a document and get rid of the paper. I do have a system where I can put a scan into a certain folder and it will take it and put it into Evernote for me. This way I always know where the scan has gone to if I want to look at it later. I use an automation on my Mac to be able to do this.

Still working at the campsite and I will be there for a another two weeks. I'm looking forward to having some time to myself to be able to get all of things done that I need to get done. I also have a TEFL course to finish. I might have two forget about everything else and just concentrate on that for as long as it takes to finish the job. Otherwise I will get back onto making videos again for YouTube and I will have extend the online course once more.

I tried to make a recording and the traditional noises of the knife sharpening man came by. I like the sound of it so I continued. This was on the day when I have been setting up iOS 7 and also the Nexus 7. The Nexus 7 I got so that I can do more android application tutorials and it is a lovely wee device.

When I had so much to do to work out how to use as I set it up with the iPad with the new operating system and the new device needing some love from the same day I could have done without the Samsung Galaxy S3 crashing on me. So I had to spend time fixing my phone when I had new toys I wanted to play with.

I start off by talking about the state of play at the campsite where I work while I am taking my break. It really is as quiet as the grave at the moment with many of the campers that stay for the season are packing up their stuff ready to go. The campsite closes on 12 October and with the poor weather over the last week people are deciding to get packed just in case there's more rain coming.

I make YouTube videos, mostly tutorials showing people how to do things with the Mac, the iPad and also android applications. The problem is that while I am working during the summertime I don't have a lot of free time to be able to make these videos, so I complain a little bit about that. When I get home I am completely knackered and all I am fit for is to sit on the sofa watching some television. I started to watch a film called Battle: Los Angeles which looked like he was going to be a decent sci-fi film to watch. At least it looked good from the very short clips that we used to advertise it, because in reality it was a pile of rubbish that just didn't have any story. I gave it 10 minutes to try and grab my attention and it failed miserably.

Despite my saying that the campsite was as quiet as the grave, as I was talking a couple of auto caravans arrived. Also I mention a lovely French family that arrived that had a small child that was as cute as anything. She was probably about two years old or less and was waving and saying hello.

I start by talking about the goings on at the campsite and then move on to the chat which started by religious crap appearing on my Facebook timeline. These theists were not impressed or swayed by logic, reason and common sense of the argument. It was amazing the amount of babble and waffle that was spouted in this discussion by the god squad people. I was threatened with Hell but at least they stayed civil whilst babbling incoherently. I feel sorry for these delusional people who have been subjected to brainwashing from an early age. I call religion out as wilful ignorance. They know that what they say can't be true but they go ahead an say they believe it anyway.

in the weeks and maybe even months before there is an announcement by Apple of impending products, the blogosphere and all of the podcasts go crazy with predictions. I find it extremely tedious when there's people that really have no idea what is coming jump on every possible leak or made up story and talk about it ad nauseam.

I do love technology, but it is not really about the hardware, it is more about how the software helps you get things done in your life during your day.

I had a weird email from my aunt that was quickly followed by a weird question in my messaging app from my mother. My mother wanted to know if I had health problems, I don't and I had to wait till the next day to find out how this weird rumour all started.

Talking about being at the campsite working full-time and part-time and the fact that there are still one or 2 tourists left in Platja d'Aro. As I record the audio there are a couple of proper looking tourists with all of their beach equipment and that included two plastic blowup dolphins.

How to add a thunderbolt Drive, an SSD that can be used as the system drive and not mess things up in the process. Twiddling and fiddling with various applications to make sure that I don't lose any data while squeezing the system onto a smaller drive.
