I am still feeling grotty but no more diarrhoea in the night, still have the gripes as the bugs do battle against the meds lol
And I have to be fit to fly back to London on Sunday night

I have been holding off from buying a tablet for as long as possible. With my hobby for making movies and photography, I have trouble finding one with mega capacity. iPad offers a cellular tablet with 128gb but it is expensive without a contract. I am looking at eBay now and again for the best deal or shall I go with Amazon. You would have gone through this kind of dilemma when you were looking for a smart phone.

One of the big features I like is the predictive text and how it takes care of the spelling. Clever stuff. I think I will see if I can get back to sleep. I hope Jay, you are keeping well and looking after yourself
Take care ... Phil

Hi Phil,

Glad your on the mend Sir
Just to point out with the tablets, my iPad is 64gb and I have the camera connection kit which allows me to connect my Dslr directly to it and upload the photos off the camera onto the iPad.

My photos are uploaded to cloud based storage every day and also to my network attached storage hard drive at home.
This means I can delete all but my very favourite photos off of the device so as not to use up valuable storage.

I still have full access to view my photos on the device from my external storage solutions, either cloud based or on my network drive at home which I can access anywhere I have an Internet signal.
Hope that helps you a bit

Taptalk is an app to use with forums.
It presents the forum display in a more phone friendly way and some peeps prefer using it instead of just using the phones web browser to view the forum pages
Me, I just use the web browser as you appear to be doing yourself

Good morning Jeff Any plans for your day off

Guess what.......yep, you guessed it
I have a forum member coming at 10.00 for a double din install then hopefully this afternoon will be going to the cat rescue.
Later this afternoon Molly ( our little kitten ) is going to the vets to have her micro chip fitted
That's about it for the day although no doubt subject to change if and when Ros dictates
What about you Derek?
Hope you are feeling better as well Sir.

Thanks Jeff. What is a network attached storage hard drive which is compatible? In that case maybe a 64gb will be enough for the purpose

Hi Phil,

A network attached storage drive (NAS) is just an external hard drive with an Ethernet connection.
Instead of connecting via a usb it is connected to your router/modem instead.
It will have its own IP address and this enables you to access it locally at home for uploading and downloading files to and from it but will also allow you to connect to it for uploads and downloads anywhere in the world you have an Internet connection.
What you do is download the NAS drive app for your smart phone/tablet etc and the companies software for PC's and that's it.
Any files stored on it be it music, photos, videos or documents can be accessed on any of your devices set up to use it
I have two of them at home, a Buffalo 1Tb Link Station and a Seagate 2Tb Central unit

This is the Seagate app on my iPad :

I'm building a NAS server at moment using one of my raspberry pi's, the great thing is you don't need a great amount of processor power..

Morning - all eventually
Had an excellent BBQ with the family last night - I ate FAR too much (3 burgers and half a dozen bangers if I remember correctly - all very well done ) - so I'm feeling a bit lethargic this morning
