A Few Changes Around Here
A new theme for PigPog, and some changes to how I'll be posting in the future - bigger posts, less often.

More general life-related stuff, that doesn’t fit elsewhere. A bit random, maybe.
A Dead iPad Pro
The Friday before last had a sad ending. I took my iPad out of my bag, and tried to switch it on. It was dead. I kind of gave that away in the title, didn’t I? It’s quite new –…
Coffee
We got a bean to cup machine. Before that, we had (and still have) a Nespresso, but it’s relatively expensive to run, and disposing of the pods is a bit of a pain. We’ve wanted to get a bean to…
Leaving Bear and Using Drafts 5
It’s not long since I posted about trying out Bear for writing. Now I’ve ditched it again. Mostly, though, the problem wasn’t Bear as such, just a better alternative for me came along. An updated version of an app I’ve…

We haven’t had a TV for a long time. Last TV we bought was a CRT. Big and heavy, but only, I think, a 21” screen. Seemed big at the time. Back in those days, TVs weren’t smart. They used…
Re-using an Old Apple Keyboard for my iPad
Back when I first got my iPad, a Mini 4, I picked up a reasonably cheap keyboard to go with it. It’s rechargeable, and coated with a kind of cloth surface. It’s not been bad, really, but it’s getting quite…
