I’ve been enjoying my iPad very much over the last few weeks. Apart from the numerous games and productivity apps I’ve downloaded, I’ve also tried most of the major web development tools. Some of them are very good, but there’s still room for a real killer app. Personally, I’d like to see a version of Eclipse for the iPad, ideally with Subversion support, the latter being sorely lacking. I need PHP, JavaScript, HTML and CSS syntax highlighting and code completion as a bare minimum.

If anybody’s aware of an app that fulfils all my needs I’d love to know about it.

I’m currently just over half way through a week off work. I decided that it would be a good idea to take a break because I’m quite tired, I needed to use up some of my holiday allocation and it was my birthday yesterday.

So, what have I been doing? For the most part, not a lot. I’ve watched quite a bit of TV, done a fair bit of reading and played some Scrabble. So far it’s been exactly what I needed. Relaxing and simple.

My mother very kindly sent me some money for my birthday, so I spent some of it on something I’ve wanted for quite some time – a crossbow. Only a small one, but I reckon I shall still have some fun with it.

Hopefully, when I return to work on Monday I shall be able to throw myself back into the fray with gusto. That’s the plan, anyway.
