tin-men is the part-time home of Graham Gilbert; a 24 year old geek who loves nothing more than geeking out about web stuff and Apple kit - which is kind of handy, since that happens to be what he does for a living. He also has the annoying habit of talking in the third person.

Maybe. I just don’t have tome for this anymore. I’m still on twitter, you can keep up with what I’m up to work wise at grahamgilbert.com and I’ll possibly come back to this once life slows down a little, but for now I think I’m going to have to put this one to bed.
Although I’ll [...]
When I started looking after Apple servers, I quickly learnt one thing:
Most of the built in services are rubbish.
I’ll admit, that’s quite a bold statement. Of course, there are plenty of things Mac OS X Server does very well (disclaimer: I’ve yet to try 10.6 Server, I’m referring to 10.5 Server here). We use AFP, [...]
For the past month or so I’ve been working on a little idea I had. I thought it would we cool if you could search twitter, delicious and google all at the same time. So, I made findth.at.
What does it do exactly? Well, the fine points are obviously supar sekrit (although I’m open to cash [...]
I’ve been hankering after a smaller mac for quite some time now after finding my MacBook Pro a bit too heavy to lug around all the time. I need to keep my MacBook Pro as my main day to day machine (FireWire, optical drive and 4Gb of RAM being the main reasons), so selling it [...]
I ran into a problem at work today; a user was unable to save any MS Office file to an AFP share that she clearly had access to. All other file types worked fine, but she was getting a permission denied error with Office files. After a bit of googling, it turns out that that [...]
So, it’s been quite a while since I’ve posted anything on here. Quite a bit has changed in the past four months.
I’ve been at RMStudio for over three months now. I’ve loved every second (well, nearly anyway!).
I’ve picked up an iPhone 3G (I love that too).
And as you may have noticed, I knocked up a [...]
I’m sure I don’t need to inform any of you that the new iPhone was announced yesterday. There was me fully expecting to have to pony up another £269, as well as a more expensive contract, because let’s face it – mobile companies have a bit of a reputation for being greedy buggers.
But get this, [...]
As those of you who are following me on twitter know, in a few short weeks, I shall be departing the rainy city and abandoning the lifestyle of a layabout student and moving to London to start work for a small company called RMStudio.
This rather large turning point has made me start to reflect on [...]
Some of you may have visted firesuite before. It used to be the home of my vlog, but since I’ve not updated it for ages, and I don’t see myself having any inclination to do so again, I thought the domain was too good to waste.
So, I thought I’d use it for a project I’ve [...]
Sorry it’s been a bit quiet on here recently. I’ve been busy making my final project for uni work propperly.
I’ve also been busy eating toast.
And drinking tea from my apple mug.
I’ve also unfortunately had to read lots…
of pointless…
books.
But, I’ve finally got it working now, and am half way through the report. The end is in [...]
