Paying Online for School Trips

A new link went on today - http://www.scopay.com/longfleet. It even gets a nice little logo - but the simple idea is to let people pay for the school trips online. Does that mean we have even fewer excuses now?

Dead iPhone4 - nope, no just yet!

Bad news this morning - the iPhone (4) went dead... Just after my youngest had finished watching Peppa Pig...


So at least I had someone to blame.


No amount of charging/connecting/disconnecting could get anything out of it.


No silver Apple logo, nothing.


BUT it turns out that it just needed a 'Hard Reset':


Do a hard reset. Hold down both the power button and the home screen button at the same time for 30 seconds. It probably got locked up.


Nice, easy, and a lot cheaper than a drive to the nearest Apple Store!

Create a Bootable Lion Install DVD

1. Once you’ve purchased Lion, find the Lion installer on your Mac. It’s called Install Mac OS X Lion.app and it should have been downloaded to /Applications.
