I had hoped to have the Liberal Democrat blogosphere to myself these next few days (well, not really, but while everyone else is away discussion new things I was going to put the boot into existing policy...:)

But, I have I believe fallen victim to a really nasty piece of software by a large and normally respected manufacturer of graphics and designs software. It's put a nasty file in some unicode file name format that has caused my Mac hard disk severe corruption and it looks like I am going to have to wipe and reinstall OS X from scratch. So every spare moment is likely to be spent getting my machine back to where it was as of last night.

Thank goodness I took the precaution some months ago of getting some synchronising software so all my stuff is backed up till Friday night.

But what a load of poo. Which is about as close as I dare to get to naming the software vendor concerned.
