Welcome to the Gutenberg Editor

December 5, 2018 by Neville Hobson 

A new version of WordPress is expected to land during the next few weeks  - perhaps even as soon as December 6 - if development plans proceed smoothly. I've been a WordPress user since version 1.5 over a decade ago, and I'm excited about 5 mostly because of Gutenberg, the brand new post and page editor that aims ultimately to replace the traditional classic editor that's been part of WordPress since its beginnings. This new version 5.0 release of the popular content management … [Read more...] about Welcome to the Gutenberg Editor

Mastodon, the hot new social network like Twitter, kind of

April 9, 2017 by Neville Hobson 

A new social network started up six months ago and began picking up speed last week as it echoes the early days of Twitter. It's called Mastodon and was born out of frustration with changes being made on Twitter, according to an interview with founder Eugen Rochko in The Verge.

Instead of building a unified service, Rochko envisioned something more like … [Read more...] about Mastodon, the hot new social network like Twitter, kind of

Small is the new big with the Raspberry Pi Zero

November 29, 2015 by Neville Hobson 

Do you remember the days when computer magazines came with cover disks? And then with CDs that progressed to DVDs? All with must-have utilities and often free programs that were part and parcel of the PC enthusiast experience from the 80s through to the early 00s.

Among many other … [Read more...] about Small is the new big with the Raspberry Pi Zero

Windows 10

In just a few days, on July 29, Microsoft will begin the public rollout of Windows 10 in 190 countries. If you want to upgrade your desktop or laptop computer, it's a free upgrade in specific circumstances. Lifehacker has a simple flowchart that makes it quite easy to see if you qualify. The only difference to this chart is that Windows 8 won't get you the free upgrade but Windows 8.1 will. According to Microsoft: The only requirements are that a) your device is compatible, and b) you’re … [Read more...] about Windows 10 is just around the corner

Windows 10 shows the scale of Microsoft’s ambition

July 13, 2015 by Neville Hobson 

On July 29 - in just over two weeks' time - Microsoft will begin the formal roll-out of Windows 10, the new edition of the Windows operating system for PCs and tablets (and Windows phones). It's been the subject of a comprehensive beta-testing programme by around five million people since the programme was launched at the end of September 2014. I've been part of this programme as a Windows Insider since last October, running the incremental builds of 'Windows 10 Insider Preview' as they … [Read more...] about Windows 10 shows the scale of Microsoft’s ambition
