My presentation in dev mode, as post-its on my office wall
So, like I said yesterday, I don’t do a lot of presentations. And, like I said yesterday, after finding a pretty fundamental flaw in Apple’s presentation app Keynote, I didn’t want to use it to display slides in front of a roomful of people. So [...]

It’s not like me to rush into installing new operating systems, but I really was keen to see what Leopard could offer. And anyway, I had a couple of spare Macs lying around with nothing to do. So when the shiny box dropped through my front door last Friday morning, I settled down for a [...]
