square eyed in brecon

finally returning to my wordpress blog as I can tidily update it from my iPad. Sadly, I haven’t yet found a way of importing over the posts from my previous blog, hosted on the nicely flexible platform Blogsome, the only drawback of which is that the user interface now feels a bit cumbersome compared with this. How lazy we technology users have become! Hard to believe now that in my early computing career one of the jobs each day was to take the pack of punched cards through to the ops room to run update jobs. Read today that a senior judge has said that that modern technology is “totally out of control”….. sounds a bit like the “guns kill people” vs “people kill people” debate! The idea of a computer being out of control is quite amusing though – it brings to mind that robot out of “Lost in Space” (cast your minds back, oldies) which used to occasionally run amok until someone disconnected something on his side and he slumped into a powerless heap.
“Warning, Will Robinson….”
