England

I never really considered it until today when I was listening to MacVoices, a podcast by Chuck Joiner (who incidentally is soon to be featured on the Mac 20 Questions Podcast) A guest of his was talking about screen sharing and telling of the many benefits. I thought I must give that a try.

I can see that if my Mom gets a Mac, and she has said that she is looking into it. I would be able to help her out with using screen sharing even when she is in England and I am here in Spain. Also I have some applications on my iMac that I might want to control from the Macbook either because I am too lazy to get off the sofa or if I am away somewhere else.
I will have to set the iMac to wake up when I contact it for the screenshare. Those applications would be the ones that I have bought for the iMac but are only licensed to work on one machine. I don't like those licenses. If I have bought software I should be able to use on which ever of my computers, it can even be set so that they can't be used on two computers at the same time. I have not yet worked out how to be in two places at the same time, so no worries there.

I suppose though that using screen sharing will be like being in two places at the same time allowing me to use an iMac paid application from my MacBook. Then when the iPad comes I could use an application on there to do the same. Now that makes the iPad even more useful.

The way to tell your friend and folks you are getting married in England is to gleefully inform them to "get out their hats." This is because whereas in America, where it is all about the dress you wear to the wedding, in England the hoopla is what's on your head. British women wear extravagant large brimmed hats to weddings that match their dresses.  However, as native Brit Nicola Ciotta says, these days it is trendy for the younger women to wear headbands with feathers or loopy designs coming off of them (think sarah jessica parker in satc). She says these headbands are called "fascinators." But somehow "get your fascinator out" doesn't have quite the same ring...

Rescue Cat hit me up with his impressive new single, £10 Bag, a couple of months ago. Had it been a tape I would have worn it out by now. Imagine a collision between White Town's legendary 'Your Woman' single and Popcorn, the theme from my favourite 80s pc game Digger. With an official itunes release scheduled I thought I should share it with the world.

With a Glastonbury performance this year under his belt and international endorsements its time to adopt Rescue Cat.

Bo Macreery, the author of the novel "Why We Don’t Kill Spiders," is one of those rare writers who can pull a long forgotten period of history off a dusty book shelf and breathe fresh, new life into it; turning it into a rich and vibrant tale that resonates with the world we live in today.

"Why We Don’t Kill Spiders" chronicles the heroic efforts of Robert the Bruce to achieve Scottish independence through a series of battles; culminating in his victory over King Edward II of England at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. It is an epic and complex story filled in equal measure with bravery, passion, cruelness and betrayal; all told with rich imagery and careful attention to detail.

In Saturday July 5, 1919, she set out on her bicycle to post some letters in the village of Evington. She returned home and then proceeded on to the village of Gaulby to visit her uncle, George Measures.

When she arrive at her uncle's she was accompanied by an unknown male. He was riding a green BSA bicycle and wearing a raincoat, even though it was a clear night.

Measures expressed concern about the stranger but Bella did not seem alarmed. When she left her uncle's cottage an hour later she again met up with the stranger and the two rode off together.
