Before I say anything, I don’t claim to be a connoisseur of any sort, but I do like a good coffee and there are few places which I find myself satisfied. (I think I’m just a spoilt brat and too picky for my own good.) Over the last few weeks, I’ve visited a couple of cafes not all good, but to begin my collection of reviews, here’s one worth a visit.
Apple’s claim that "Safari. The world’s best browser. Now on Windows, too" is a tall order. Unimpressed with the initial Safari port, Safari 3.0, I went into this latest update with speculations. There are still numerous bugs that need to be straightened out.
Originally, I was running an international (Japanese) version of Windows and Safari struggled with the bi-lingual setting I had placed it in. From the "discussions" on the Apple board, it seems the same issue is still recurring in the latest update. Personally, now running on an English version of Windows, it gave me some odd errors when closing down which I still haven’t been able to resolve and no solutions from Apple either.
Sword Song is the fourth and final epic in Bernard Cornwell’s "The Saxon Stories" series. (I didn’t realise it was part of a series, so I’ll go back and read the others.) The story is based around a 9th century lord, Lord Uhtred, who is caught up in the battle for the kingdom of Wessex (the southern Saxon kingdom of England, the northern kingdom was under Danish rule).
Vikings had occupied London and had called upon Lord Uhtred to join them and while at the same time, Lord Uhtred is oath bound to King Alfred. The story progresses to tell of his struggle between the two powers and how he, alone, will shape the future of England.
