Using Back to My Mac… to Catch a Thief!

Back To My Mac – the new Leopard utility which lets you log into your home Mac remote using dot Mac – doesn’t seem to work as easily as most of us would like. Would anyone show me (in easy-to-digest non-geek terms) hwo to operate it over anything other than a local network? I know it must work because Dan Dilger has this brilliant story in his Roughly Drafted blog about how a woman is using Back To My Mac to track down the thoeving hound who swiped her iPhone and MacBook from her truck.

Pick up the milk

I’m one of those people thatbif I don’t write something down, make a list or stick a note in my Crackberry, it doesn’t get down. Problem is, although I love my Google Mail/Calendar and integrating it with my Blackberry, there’s been no way to sync tasks across my favourite apps. But this week I heard about Remember The Milk, a free Australian web app that makes it easy to organise your tasks and you can add a gadget that integrates it right into GMail, Google Calendar and your iGoogle home page. And as my Google Calender syncs with my Crackberry, I’m sorted! Now I’m hoping someone comes up with a plug-in for Mailplane, my favourite e-mail program which turns GMail into a Mac-looking app that’s available offline.

Taster from Gill

As I’ve shared here before, one of the joys of my week is reading anything AA Gill writes in the Sunday Times. This week brought another classic barb. I mean who esle would have the verve or the nerve to write this:

I started with a complimentary shot glass of insemination-temperature cauliflower soup, with a cold cream cappuccino top and a grey, slimy nose-blow of truffle oil as a garnish. You can sip it like espresso, the waiter said helpfully. Liquidised cauliflower tastes like fat boy’s farts. Effluent cauliflower with added truffle oil tastes like corpse bloat.

Anyone care to join me in a whip round to get AA and Gordon Ramsay to come out here and give some of our complacent over-priced establishments the flaying they deserve?
