As some of you may have heard, Snow Leopard was released a week and a half ago. I pre-ordered my copy from Apple, but didn’t get round to upgrading until the following Monday. First impressions were great: faster boot up, sleep and shutdown times, Time Machine backed up quicker, and the extra 7GB back on my HDD was also welcome.
Then I checked my local development environment. Screwed!

Songwriter Martyn dies, aged 60
Singer-songwriter John Martyn has died at the age of 60.
The folk, blues and funk artist was widely regarded as one of the most soulful and innovative singer-songwriters of his generation.
He was born in Surrey but grew up in Glasgow. He was appointed an OBE in the New Year Honours.
A statement on his website on Thursday said: “With heavy heart and an unbearable sense of loss we must announce that John died this morning.”
Shit man, going to miss this guy. Music’s just lost a legend. Went to one of his shows just before Christmas, it was fuckin’ amazing.

Finally managed to get a bit of content up on here in the form of a few drawings I did some years back. Why not have a gander over to the old Artwork section…

After much bullying encouragement from a mate of mine, I’ve decided to finally take the step into the Mac world and pick myself up a 15″ 2.4GHz MacBook Pro.
Got to say man, I’ve enjoyed my time on it so far and I haven’t even installed good old Photoshop yet or done any proper coding. Also, lovin’ some of the stuff you can do with the Trackpad and can’t wait to get playing with TextMate. But first things first, how do I reprogram that hash key..?
More updates as I muddle on through.
