Time to jump on the rumour mill and predict, with scary accuracy what Apple’s event due to take place at the end of January (’10), will hold.
Update: Looks like once again I have been spot on with my Apple predictions. I have linked to stories confirming my assertions where appropriate.
It’s been well-over a year since I hacked the the first few lines of code for Trowel, the open source, Perl solution to your Twitter and Growl needs.

By-far-and-away the most popular blogs I have ever written are How To: Growl and Twitter and Twitter + Growl = Trowel v1.0.
These simple how to’s, provide a solution to a simple problem. How do I pipe my Twitter time line to Growl?

Over the last year this blog has argued the case for Apple’s mobile device strategy, I think this post sums it up nicely.

You may have already read my how-to on integrating Twitter and Growl but this is the upgrade! I will go through the code for those interested, please help me improve the code by leaving a comment, good or bad.
OK, so I’m new to Twitter. I didn’t (don’t) get it. Who wants to know what I’m doing? Well as I keep telling myself thats not the point. The point is to spread information, I had a lot of fun on Election night tweeting away about the coverage and calling states (I was surprisingly accurate).
The one thing that did annoy me was it added another website to check – not just a lunch but a refresh every 5 minutes. Something had to be done. (more…)
There are two reasons I am writing yet another hackneyed MacWorld prediction entry:
With all that unpleasantness over with I can begin. We all know Mr Jobs prides him self on secrecy and clandestine projects but the simple fact is Apple is a business and needs to make money and a quick look over their aging product line tell us 90% of the keynote. (more…)
