So in 2.5 hours what have I done?

Well, backed up my MacBook using Time Machine. Replaced the HDD. Reinstalled OS X, restored Time Machine backup and it’s back to normal now. 🙂

So bigger disk, means more junk.  Yep, may stick VMWare on it and dump and XP/Linux virtual computer on the 2nd partition.   This (250gb – well 230gb) is the largest internal drive I’ve ever owned!  Not bad for £46.54 (Western Digital Scorpio Blue 250gb 540rpm Sata-II WD25000BEVT).  Christ I remember paying £400 for a 20mb Amiga HDD.  Just need to get a cheapo caddy and I can use the MacBook 80gb as an external 🙂

(Though not done system updates yet – still impressed how quickly it’s back to normal!)

Big City Plan – bigcitytalk website

Just a bit of pimpage for those that might be interested in shaping the city of Birmingham over the coming years.

http://bigcitytalk.org.uk/ is the website. Have a poke around, go on change something (or at least express your opinion).

From BCT website:

This is an unofficial ‘plain English’ version of the Big City Plan Work in Progress consultation document about how Birmingham (UK) should be developed over the next 20 years.

You’ve got till the 6th of Feb to do things.   I still need to have a dig around the site myself.

iPod Touch – the gateway drug for an iPhone?

I’ve been using the fantastic iPod touch for a while now, only issue i’m having is lack of wifi when not at home, or stealing someone else’s.

So I’ve been thinking, maybe I should get an iPhone. Still need to wait for my 3 contract to finish (probably September 09). Maybe 3 mobile will see a niche market and produce a mobile wifi router (battery powered) for my 3g broadband sim? (maybe not – closest is the Huawei D100 Router – but it’s mains only – though that’s not too bad)
