Terry’s last day
Terry has never been my cup of tea – but he knows how to build a loyal audience. Had he been a presenter on my radio station he would have been my style, especially when the listening figures came in.
I think Terry summed up his style in his book Don’t Give Up The Day Job. He said something along these lines. “When you broadcast you have to speak to just one person – someone you really like – so I just imagine I’m talking to myself.” And I think that’s why I never liked him – he is just too full of himself.

Great bands, stunning live sessions and an ethic of getting some, frankly, bloody great music out there. That’s all well and good, but it ain’t live – and the penny has dropped in Bootham Towers courtesy Mr Matt Seymour, music champ, prolific Twitterer and man of enthusiastically eclectic taste. From Cavalier’s transatlantic commercial balladry to Overreact’s angular indie-punk clatter inspired by Tokyo Police Club. From Julianne Moore’s Polyphonic Spree with synths to the jazz/soul/trip-hop of Alvin Purple; a terrific night is in store and all recorded for posterity and future broadcast.

Such hyperbole – but no less than any other gig blurb at this fine venue
iFixit – sometimes
iFixit: Apple Mac, MacBook, iPod, and iPhone Repair Parts.
Anyone who knows me knows I like making things work so the discovery that iFixit is publishing all of its repair manuals free of charge is like an early Christmas present. I am also a believer in reading and using the manual so it’s particularly useful to me. There is of course a sensible priority to how to fix things.
1. What was the last thing you did or changed that may affect the function of the piece of equipment?
2. Is there power to the item?
3. Look at it – is there anything obvious like screws missing, wires or plugs pulled out?
After these basic checks you may need to read the manual before proceeding.
So thank you iFixit, once the formalities are over, your freely available reading matter for the Apple products will make my life easier should anything of mine break down or require an upgrade. While I’m singing your praise – could you make it easier for me to take apart my Mac Mini?
