Something I’ve noticed …




Hmmm … well …

That’s a handy thing to find out …

Or possibly jaw dropping, considering the price attached to one piece of news I saw!!

At any rate, Allison popped in on me, this morning, and in-between Facebooking, I found that Ubuntu’s got a handy little feature called Computer Janitor!

Which is designed to clean-up your system.

Something that, obviously, one has to be careful with, as, obviously, we don’t want to delete anything important.

But none the less, something that strikes me as a handy little app to have on-board.

And not something I’ve seen specifically built in to OS X, although there are such things as AppDelete — which has been around for years — which let you do similar things. (AppDelete works by trashing a given application and the associated files, folders and caches. And all of the preferences lists.)

Either way, these seem to be handy little functions that would — with care — come in useful.

Right, now, before I sign off, I will mention that I also had my jaw hit the deck, this morning, when I saw this week’ edition of “Click”.

It seems well known peripherals maker, Kingston, has announced it’s going to be released the word’s biggest flash memory stick, the DataTraveller 300.

With a capacity of 256 gigabytes.

You’ll forgive quoting David Tennant, as the Doctor, at this point, won’t you?

“What?! WHAT??!!

That’s a mind-boggling size, for a flash memory drive, even if, as Kingston have said, it’s both aimed at video professionals, and only available as a build-to-order option.

With a mind boggling price!!

Post a Comment

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

Thank you.
