erm it's all well and good but...

Can it print me a tasty cake?

C'mon Dabbsy - you have had a week off.

Having 2 is just greedy, unless you're having a spleenectomy or summink.

Thanks for the bootnote - although cantilevers are pretty cool.

Leaky sandbox - egg timer of doom?

If you let apps out of the sandbox, even innocent apps like swype then how long before you introduce vulnerability?

Get well soon Dabsy.

This particular reprint lacks the frustration and anger of your more recent pieces.

Are they hackable?

Who wouldn't want to watch the fun of a hacked noddy car terrorising a truck stop?

Sort of the chocolate factory meets maximum overdrive.

erm...

it's hardly amazing for the price. Think I will stick with the ipad.

In the nicest way possible - I simply don't give a frig.

He could be trained by Ronald McDonald to flip burgers for all I care. Yes, he showed the world the techniques through a prism, but in all honesty as someone else has said. ANYONE could of guessed.

sworn enemies

I always though the mass transit systems were the sworn enemies of all taxi drivers.

After all it's hard to tell if the driver of a tube or bus is, how to phrase it, a UKIP voter...

No end of Sharepearean sonnets will protect me from eBay’s lead windows or a Ministry of Defence civil servant leaving his laptop in a taxi.

Is that a deliberate error? Or an open source bard?

I quit with e-Cigs (sorta)

It's been over a year since I bought a packet of tabs or some baccy.....yay go me.

However, I do vape, it's like my pal, he's always with me and I like to suck on him.... OK maybe I should try that again...

I replaced my 20 - 40 a day habit with a PVD and not an e-Cig, I found the ones that look like a cigarette a bit pointless. So I invested in a normal looking refillable vape pipe. The thing is I din't stop there, mainly because of the modding community. So now I vape what can only be described as a hybrid mix of sonic screwdriver and wizard wand. It looks more star trek than cigarette. And I didn't stop there, I also mix my own juices using confectionery flavours and have saved about £50 by buying my PG and VG from a chemical factory that produces food grade additives. So what I hear you say, and I totally agree with you, so what indeed. The thing is I understand the the need for regulation, as the flavours are all food grade, you have to be careful what you out into your body. And I have actually quit smoking? No and Yes....I inhale my nicotine in a whisp of vapor rather than breathe in a toxic soup. The only smoke I inhale is a particular plant matter, and I do that through - yep you guessed it, a dry herb vaporiser that fits a few of my wizard wands.

is it just me...

But this smells of copyright infringement....times 2

the colours look sort of iPhone 5C territory

the capacitive back home and search buttons look a bit Androidy

Is anything original these days?

Reputation

It's a difficult one, but I found doing the contractor rounds very good for building my reputation. What's that company X, can I sort out your Citrix gateway?......Yeah of course I can.....and hope for the best.

Because of this foolhardy way I have applied myself I have found that I often get (got) contracts that were a bit above my mixed skill set. Although I have for the past two years started a full time in-house role. I don't get as much cash, but at least I know I can feed my family and stuff. I guess it's about money, and how much you want.

You think he's fat? You should see what Bay has done to Mecha-Godzilla....

You have about 30 seconds to get out of the area whilst the droid reboots.
