    Using Bluetooth Device From MacOS Lock Screen

    When I boot up my Macbook from cold, I am unable to use my bluetooth devices until I've logged in first using my Macbook's keyboard. It's been midly irritating me for some time. Midly in the sense that I've just accepted that this as the way with a tut. I finally decided to look into why this was happening and have managed to sort it! Ok, this is arguably a bit of a workaround, but at the very least I can say I've got rid of the mild irritation.

    Redgate Product Research

    I've been asked by Redgate to get involved with some product research sessions this year. I've had a few phone conversations in the past about my usage habits with various tools, but this was quite different. The first session was a bit disorientating but having got one under my belt the second was an enjoyable experience.
