It's time... to say goodbye.

Yep, it's that time...

It's time for me to kill off some old and dusty blogs and other e-paraphernalia. So this blog (now it's personal) as well as A user's view, i don't like apples, and ipt: not just nerds are all being deleted.

If you did follow them (but didn't let me know) then all I can say is - why? They really weren't that good!

Whether I resurrect my online presence with a new blog, it's too early to say, but there's always my

Anyway - it was fun. It was educational. It was... too hard to keep posting well crafted and thought out posts.

See ya.

Steve Jobs has resigned. I'll miss him... and why.

Steve Jobs has resigned as CEO of Apple Inc.

The official statement: http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2011/08/24Steve-Jobs-Resigns-as-CEO-of-Apple.html

While, as most of you know, I have never been the biggest fan of the iOS (on iPhones and iPads) what you may not know is that I have always admired his tenacity and belief in his company and product. There is a very good reason Simon Sinek [TEDtalk | Start With Why ] spoke about Apple in his Golden Circles talk – Steve was a believer in pushing the boundaries of IT use and his desire for IT to not only be useful, but easy to use and good looking, has quite obviously come through in their products.

There are many, many lessons we can learn about innovation in education from the way he has lead innovation in the IT industry. I aspire to have the same belief in and dedication to my products, young, Christian leaders who will influence their community for God and good, so that they may achieve their potential. Anyone who has seen Steve talk, either via vodcast or in real life, will know that he has always meant what he said.

Steve, you’ve done a great job and you will be missed.

My favourite windows cleaner is now there for macs!

Just like the idea that macs can't get malware has turned out to be false, the idea that you don't need to clean up after a mac is also not true. Thankfully CCleaner the best free cleaner is now out for macs.

New beta version of CCleaner for Mac is limited but shows signs of promise - News - PC & Tech Authority Mobile Edition
