Safely back home

Following on from Macworld | iWorld and our little weeks vacation (Ok, holiday for my fellow countrymen), we're safely back home after a fairly brutal journey. 5 hours from Hawaii to Los Angeles, then 10 hours from LA to Heathrow, then 45 minutes back to Manchester. With associated stops and transfers on the way back.

Got in late Wednesday afternoon, and managed to stay awake until the usual bedtime, finally crashing out and getting a good 7 hours sleep.

Before hitting the sack, I noticed a few issues with my home equipment, mainly one of my network switches was dead and my RAID setup has gone slightly awry. The switch came back to life after a reboot, but I will need to investigate my RAID setup.

I can envisage some new purchases in my future to update my current system, despite keeping current on my laptop and iPads, the desktop systems are starting to show their age, and I feel the need to update. Wish Apple would come clean on what's happening with the Mac Pro, although I may move to an iMac/Thunderbolt setup. We'll see, and I'll document my thought processes when the time comes.

So now it's that time, just after a holiday, where you need to attend to all those things you kept putting off until after the holiday. Lordy, so much to do!

But it will all have to wait, I need to produce two shows for tomorrow, and that takes precedence over everything. Good job I was able to outline the shows on my iPad during my travels.

So back to the digital coal face I go....
