Bluetooth switches by Flic I also mention the iPhone and how I'd like to get the new Nissan Leaf

Sounds of bread being delivered to the campsite and sounds of seagulls and campers looking for a croissant. Young ones just come back from the bars and have the munchies because they've been drinking a bit. And crickets

Music is quite repetitive but it's enjoyable all the same and the dancing is absolutely completely boring.

I enjoyed the story and I thought a talk about it on this audio boom. There was lots of action shooting and people get smacked in the face and it was completely Fast and Furious from start to finish. At the end of the story the other guy was in a book to read and a couple of other extra bits and pieces to enjoy as well so I'll probably end up buying one of his books later on.

Sheltering from the rain next to the beach. Having a chat about using my iPad through and my iPhone to go post-PC. This is due to the iMac hard disk thing broken. I'm going to have two weeks of using just iOS.

A Good and Geeky look at comments I heard in a discussion about whether we are getting too much screen time. There are some people who are complaining that we spend too much time hooked up to our iPhones, iPads and computers and that it devoted ourselves from real life. There are videos on YouTube of people walking down the street so engrossed by what's happening in the iPhone that they managed to walk directly into a bear. Screen time doesn't have to be that dangerous though you could just as easily walk into a lamppost or fall down a hole in the street. Are you becoming divorced from real-life because you have your head in the cloud? Maybe you're becoming a bit of a robot because you're always using your mobile computing devices to enhance what you do with life and how you do it? I like to think that it is good to use technology to Record a Life in a good and geeky way. Record your life in something much more than a boring old journal filled with scribbled writings. We can now make videos, record audi

Mac20Q Podcast 125 Talking about what is coming up with the Good and Geeky books with a book about life logging. The application I like to use for this task is Day One and it will be covered in detail in the book. The book will also look at how to use applications which will do a certain amount of automatic journalling for you. There are applications such as #Chronos and #Heyday. I was trying a system which is called Gift Today which automatically brought in posts made in Twitter and Facebook and put them into Day One. It was working for a couple of weeks but something must have changed in the settings and I need to get back in again to reset it up. What's coming with IOS 9 and El Capitan in particular i like the keyboard improvements to the standard keyboard. i can't understand why it is taken so long for Apple to give us pictures of the letters we are typing lower case or upper case. This has been available already on other third-party keyboards such as #Swiftkey and #Swype. These are the keyboards a

I have been using the Apple Watch for a couple of weeks now and loving it. I use it to control audio on my iPhone, for making timers and alarms. Great to see the notifications coming in and to use to make the quick and dirty journal posts in apps like Heyday and Day One. I can go into the apps on the iPhone or on the Mac later and add more with these Apple Watch posts used and markers to remind me what to write about in detail. A bit of waffle about my new car. I have a Renault Clio and I think it would be great if I could upgrade it to Apple Car Play. I love to be able to interact with the car like I do with the Watch and the iOS devices - By talking to them to make them do my bidding. I don't have adaptive cruise control on the car and wish I did. I'll get that on the next car for sure. That's when the car uses radar to match the speed of the car in front, slowing you down to keep the distance. I love technology.!

Having a chat about Email security and the Good and Geeky book on Amazon. More about what is coming next with Good and Geeky Books. Will it be Good and Geeky Art or Good and Geeky Life Logging? Just got the third chapter of the Smoking Zombies published on Wattpad.

Talking about writing and building up the audience. Finding readers and using the Print Friendly website to turn a web page into a PDF. I also introduce my zombie novel which I'll be publishing as a serial on Wattpad. https://goodandgeeky.com/good-and-geeky-podcast-number-2/

Good and Geeky Books Working on building up the author platform by giving my first Good and Geeky books away to find my audience. The internet is a crowded space and authors have to find their readers. Loving the experience of doing the geeky set up of my web sites to draw in mores fans to my email list. On the fiction side of things. Today I published the first chapter of my zombie novel on Wattpad. Now I have to come up with a new chapter every week. I have some of the second chapter written already so I am a little ahead of myself. Good day today - Wrote about 2000 words. Mostly for a blog post that I turned into this Podcast, but I did write 400 words for the intro to the zombie story.

I talk about the publication of my book into the Kindle store. Delighted to have for to the point where I could submit it. I had to make a couple of updates with readers pointing out a couple of typos. There will always be some niggles hiding. Looking forward to making an iBooks Author version of the book to send to the Apple Book Store. It will have to wait because I went with KDP Select which is a 90 day tie in. I comment about the moaning from the guy that makes the Overcast app. He says Apple software is worse now and should be better. All this wee Overcast has been crashing my iPhone. Irony overload there! Hopefully this week it will be better as he finally got an upgrade out to users.

Off to the writers group tomorrow and the word to start us off with some ideas for a story is Harmony.

Talking about Tutanova encrypted email service and How I prefer to use GPG.

Alistair is an amateur photographer and we talk about using the application from Apple, Aperture and what is going to likely happen when the new Photos application comes out. Both of us are quite optimistic at the moment that Apple will be able to bring us some think that will be as easy to use as iPhoto but will have the power of the professional application.
