Back in December 2006, I wrote a post about cancelling my decade-old Orange UK phone contract, in favour of Three. Now I'm off again. I finally gave into the lure of iPhone. As a Mac (power?) user for eight years, and owner (and destroyer) of many of their products, the absence of iPhone in my life is fairly conspicuous. I always swore that I wouldn't buy the iPhone 2G, though.

I don't know if I'm missing something big, but getting Perl, Apache, PHP, PDO and MySQL to play nice on my Mac OS X 10.5 install on my Intel Core 2 Duo (Penryn) MacBook Pro hasn't been easy. This is partly thanks to Apache being compiled with x86_64 support, and Perl with i386 only.

An old colleague of mine has persuaded me to release an implementation of an "inverted index"-based search library, written solely as MySQL Stored Procedures. Our combined work is now available on Google Code.

I've been a dedicated user of EyeTV for almost two years, to the point that I no longer watch TV on the big screen in the living room. Instead, I watch almost exclusively on my iBook. Back in May 2006, I wrote a post about EyeTV 2.2 and its shortcomings. Today, Elgato have released EyeTV 3.
