Loosing Faith

Well 2025 is over we are into 2026, and I am leaving Apple, well mostly, I will move across to Google, a place I should never have left.

Why, well Apple is not just standing still, its moving backwards against Google and Linux, and I bring Linux into the equasion, simple because I view it as a place for development i so many ways for the construction industry, but Google with their integration if AI in the form of Gemini, is leaps and bounds ahead, 

Even if Apple imports Gemini, and I think they will, Apple is to far behind to catch up.

So I will be moving back, slowly with files I need in Google and deleating the Apple side once copied over

I will keep my email as is, but at some point it will go back to Gmail, 

Sorry Apple, its been a ride, but the future is Google, always was and for the forseable future will be.

Apple to Google Migration

Apple to Google Migration For the past couple of months, I have slowly been transferring my loyalty away from Apple to Google. For more than a few years, I have lived on a balance between Apples closed platform and Googles more open view on life. You might ask why, well as a blogger, lecturer and Technologist, I liked the Google system, sharing was easy, I liked the interface and apart from just a few small quirks, I happily used Drive and all it offered. Apple, on the other hand, apart from the excellent MacBook Pro, upset me a lot, with their closed shop mentality, and high pricing. Another player in my life that I might add at this stage was Dropbox, who I used to store all my office documents, and although I liked their system a lot, I meant I had filed in Google, Dropbox and a little on the Mac cloud, not a good state of affairs, but I lived with it, until I saw just how much I was paying for storage on all three systems, the volume of which could easily fit onto one...

your personal library, and a return to Google, well partly

So many times I have thought, "I remember thinking about this ages ago", or "didn't I make some notes on this ", the answer is more than likely, yet the notes I made are like the memory, long lost of forgotten. The real answer is  never again,  and now I make notes on so many thoughts and ideas, or so often, just plain old observations, some times  and so often, in the form of a photo, some times in a written note, but most in picture format . Yet ideas come at any time and place, my moleskin is the format I choose to explore these ideas I love a pencil, crayons and of late water colours to make sketches,  but some times even I forget to bring it along, so I have turned to my iPad and one of the Evernote family Penultimate to sketch ideas and concepts, all are automatically added to to my personal library, and all are tagged so they come up in my search quests. Observation is not built in to the human persona, it's needs cultivation,  practice and mo...

Reading is part of research

Leica disto EDM Reading, I read a lot, no I read continuously, from daily papers to the weekend papers and their glossy magazines, I read book like they are going out of fashion! both in good old paper format! but so often these days, in electronic version! mostly from amazon! although I have tried Apple I read flicker, Zite, and almost any news feed for my subject list, and many I transfer to evernote! again building up my personal knowledge base. I scour old book shops for books, picking up such classics as old construction manuals, and the classic AJ metric handbook. I even scan in old trade magazines, just in case I want to refer to them. My repository is Evernote, and for the most part it's very easy to retrieve, yet what happens to my personal archive should I ever fall out with Evernote! that's a question I so often think of, but as yet have no answer to, so I continue to load up information. My driving goal is the research I do, on a variety of subjects, I us...
