Apple promised the snow leopard upgrade would free 7-8GB space on the hard drive. How wrong were they… before 71.06GB available, after 92.66Gb available.

That’s a whopping 21.5GB of space reclaimed. MASSIVE SCORE.

Also. Boot up is quicker. Software loads faster across the board. Aperture just whizzes through everything, gone is the lag to full screen view. Stacks appear faster, no lag.

So far five massive positives out of five. More thoughts as I notice.. not much time to play, working quite a lot of things for the next few days, so I’m sure much more will come to the fore.

How the hell’d'this happen? Google a few words – a film title and one memorable word in the movie – and I’m the first result that’s returned? No wonder I’ve been getting so many hits! How disappointing you must be if you clicked that result, my post is just my quite boring opinion on the film. I’d love to have something like a video or sound clip to accompany, but thats not going to happen…

Oh well. If you’re looking at this site in bemusement, know that I’m as bemused as you.

If you’ve ever been a fan of John Hughes, then you must read the following blog post. It’s a really touching entry that tells a lot about the man behind such great movies..

Just read this article on The Register about the Met’s reaction to numerous media reports on officers stopping photographers from going about their work, citing the Terrorism Act of 2000.

It’s something that we’ve all heard about and probably signed countless petitions over and is something that I myself have been pulled up on whilst taking shots in and around town. The advice…

The guidance reminds officers that the public do not need a licence to take photographs in the street and the police have no power to stop people taking pictures of anything they like, including police officers.

…so if you get pulled up on this in the future, stand your ground, politely. Let coppers look through your photos, that’s their rights under the law, however they cannot delete shots or impound your camera – unless of course, you have been snapping things you shouldn’t have!
