About Me

Welcome to my blog!

I’m Elaine Giles and I’m an IT consultant based in Manchester, UK.

In my professional life I run training courses in applications for end users, develop web sites, work as a system administrator and generally undertake a myriad of other computer related tasks.

I’m also Co-Chair of the North West Institute of IT Trainers and User Group Manager of the North West Adobe Users Group we run regular meetings so if you’re in the vacinity feel free to say Hi.

I switched to a Mac in April 2006 after what proved to be a life changing visit to an Adobe event previewing Lightroom. I can assure you working with computers has never been so rewarding nor so much fun.

So that’s me and I look forward to hearing from you with your comments.

    Hi to all

    Well done on your new podcast “macbites”.

    Just incase you haven’t come across this little application.

    In episode 5 you were talking about screen spanning, with this little app “Screen Spanning Doctor” you can enable a (PPC) G5 imac to use screen spanning (Two Monitors), works great been using for a while.

    Hi Chris

    What a great tip! I don’t have a PPC Mac so I’ve never really looked for something like this but I shall certainly mention this on MacBites. I’m sure there are many people who have PPC Macs and would be thrilled to try it. I definitely couldn’t live without my second screen :-)

    Thanks again Chris

    Hi Elaine,

    I listen to a few Mac based (biased?) podcasts, it’s great to hear some British voices though - particularly northern! Thanks for your efforts and I wish you the greatest success.

    Regards,
    Chris - a northerner now floating on the Isle of Man.
