The Tech World hasn't been the same without his writing!
#SynapseCircuit #Synapse #Circuit #BlueGene #Blue #Gene Recovery from illness...
UK, January 16, 2017, Blue Gene, the man behind some of the most entertaining Tech journalism is back! Gene was forced to bow out of the Tech Writing game due to prolonged illness.
Here are some words from the man himself...
It's great to be back! I have missed writing about my favorite subject, Tech! It must be a year now since I last wrote anything substantial. I have missed testing products, giving my opinions and predictions.
I became seriously ill and I had to take a break from writing. I have been working hard at rebuilding my body. I am thinking of writing about that aspect of my life at some point. We shall see... But in the meantime, I am keen to get back to what I love doing which is to write about Tech - product reviews, news, opinions, observations, etc.
It is wonderful to see, via the stats, that you are still reading my articles! Thank you! It means a lot!
It is so wonderful to see you all again after what seems like ages! What can I tell you? Stuff happens and has kept me from doing what I love doing which is write about Tech!
I just want to thank for continuing to read my articles in my absence! THANK YOU!
Whilst I have been away I have had time to rethink! Synapse Circuit will come back stronger!
Watch this space... The official website is being redesigned! I, Blue Gene, Synapse Circuit relaunch very soon!

SYNAPSE CIRCUIT Yes, I am glad to see the back of 2014! I had so many personal incidents
of an upsetting nature, so much upheaval and general negativity! There were
some good times – writing articles, reviews, etc to help you make better
informed choices! Your interaction has been awesome and it kept me going! I endeavour
to continue to bring you concise reviews and less waffle; to keep exposing crap
Apple biased sources; my take on all things tech and social / antisocial and
great competitions! Yes, regarding competitions in 2014: With all that was
going on around me I wasn’t able to feature more competitions; I will do my
best to have more frequent competitions and bring you great prizes!
And yes: I know a new website is long overdue! With the worst out of the way

ANDROID APPS – THE LATEST!

Good evening, Good Friends! How are you doing tonight (22:21, London, UK)? I
hope you are keeping warm in this savage winter! Brrrr! Feeling the cold as I
type...
Here are some of my favourite apps of late! A BETTER CAMERAThis is a great camera app to replace the app on your handset or tablet! It
works very, very well! I will upload some pictures at some point to show you! I
used this on my HTC One X and I could swear that the result was much better
than the camera inherent with the CyanogenMod Jelly Bean ROM! But, hey! Don’t
take my word for it! Check it out here:
CLEAN MASTER (CLEANER) - FREE
Recently I noticed that my Galaxy S2 was stuffed to the brim and what’s more, I
hardly had much on it! So, I downloaded Clean Master and I was quite shocked to
realize that I had over 500 MB of unwanted files! It really works! Check it out
here:
I haven’t found the need for the paid for version... But who knows? One day I
might go for it as it does an impressive job!
DU SPEED BOOSTER (CLEANER)
Here’s an alternative to the Clean Master app! I like it a lot! I use it on my
Motorola RAZRi to great effect! It has a unique “space age” interface! Check it
out here:
IT’S SYNAPSE CIRCUIT THE TECH-GAME
#SynapseCircuit #SynapseCircuitTechGame #TechGame #TechFun
Good evening, Synapse Circuit Readers! Would you believe that I have had to
resort to placing some of my handsets in the refrigerator? Oh, yes! This heat
as had my Galaxy S2 and HTC One X in meltdown so much so that I had to put them
in the freezer at my local supermarket and the refrigerator in my home! I found
that removing them from the protective casing did help somewhat! Gosh!
Hey, many of you thought that my idea for Facebook to pay us was a good one!
Thank you! I guess it is only right that I should reward you with some fun!

Good afternoon, Synapse Circuit Readers! Have you heard the latest regarding
whistleblower, Edward Snowden? In case you haven’t heard he has allegedly
stated that Apple, Google, etc were aware and complicit in allowing the NSA and
other intelligence (hee hee) agencies to spy on us! I knew it! There’s a reason
why these social experimentation labs... Ooops, I am sorry... There’s a reason
why these social networks have recently insisted upon the subjects... Ooops, I
did it again... I meant to say that these social networks insist upon users
using a probable... Darn it... I mean using a real name!
And speaking of real names... Blue Gene is my real name! I thought a
reintroduction was in (New World) order seeing as my readership has made a
significant jump over the last couple of weeks! You have to wonder about the
nature of the intelligence that is used to spy on us (for our own good of
course) when I can’t use my real name, the name is Gene. Blue Gene, on Google
Plus yet I can use my credit card in the same name (are you following the
logic) to purchase apps... I couldn’t make that crap up if I tried... Anyway...
ABOUT ME... This
is one of my favourite topics! Lol!
When I was at high school (secondary school – and believe me it was secondary)
school in the mid-80s the idea of a computer course was exciting until I took
the class... My experience was horrendous what with 30 pupils to the class and
only ONE solitary computer to share amongst us. I don’t think I actually
managed to get on it in the time I was on the course. My dream to be a
programmer was dashed! Lol! When I left high school I went to Germany for a
couple of years, I had aspirations of being a serious Electronic music artist.
Germany was the place to go as they love music as opposed to being Top 40 chart
lead; in other words, there was a rich alternative music scene in Germany. I
became a music journalist specializing in Electronic music to support myself.
That’s when I got my taste for being a journalist. I was quite crafty too! I
would give my demo tape to the manager of the band / artist I was interviewing
to get gigs! It worked! Hee hee... One thing leads to another and I found myself
returning to London. What essentially happened was the advent of Techno and I
wasn’t able to get a record deal on my terms so, I packed up and went back home
to good ol’ London, UK. Sometimes I was I could have compromised a little...
Lol!
1990-something: My first computer was an Amiga 4000; it was a really nice
machine and the Workbench operating system was pretty awesome a true
multitasker. If I am correct, Amiga Workbench had multitasking down before
Windows. I had lofty dreams of producing a paper magazine using the Amiga but,
sadly, very sadly, the programs failed to materialize. I had no option other
than to go Windows.
I was at uni studying multimedia in a course whereby we wouldn’t touch a
computer until the third year of our course; I used my grant money to knock up
a computer with the help of a brainbox work associate. I also worked during my
studies; I used to teach folk in the community of North London how to use
PowerPoint. I taught myself Photoshop and became interested into web design. I
started off learning to hand code and hated it. I did what any self-respecting
non-hand-coder did, I bought Dreamweaver. Tell a lie... My girlfriend bought me
Dreamweaver as a present; I had the idea to become a self-employed web designer.
But instead I opted for living in Amsterdam, Holland and became employed as a
web and graphic designer.
I was there for about
4 years; I worked for a good company. During that time I had the idea to create
an online magazine. This magazine was called SystemBabies.
SystemBabies was conceived around 1998. The journalist bug was still inside me
and I saw a niche for the one thing that eludes many paper magazines...
HONESTY! I am sure that you must be aware that many technology based magazines
have had a tendency to pander to the company that pays the most advertising.
Sure, not all publications are like that. But I was working as a journalist in
Germany I saw a lot of favouritism going on; this is how the editor was able to
get the next issue out. I hated it. I hated having my work edited to the point
of a neutral nothingness. Anyway, SystemBabies went on to be quite successful
and the wheels fell off that vehicle when I returned to London again. In short,
what happened was that the Dutch company that I registered the SystemBabies
domain name went bust and I lost the domain.
TIME OFF
I took some time off away from doing an online magazine. It was exhausting and
in a way I was glad for the company going bust because I was able to get a
break! I got myself a job in another community based learning facility and I
taught Photoshop to beginners and PowerPoint. I also did a few telesales jobs
too – teaching didn’t pay well! I enjoyed the job but it was hard work keeping
the lessons up to date and meeting the demands of folk who could barely hold a
mouse that had high ambitions to restore old photos. Jeez!
As time went by I was able to get the SystemBabies domain name back! Whoohoo! I
was happy to get back into the journalism as I love to write. This time around
I tried a different format, PDF and then Interactive PDF (with videos). All was
going well until the unscrupulous hosting company, 1 and 1, tried to blackmail
me into giving them more of my money. I told them where to go at the beginning
of last year and instead developed Synapse Circuit which is doing quite well!
The Synapse Circuit Blogspot is going down really, really well!
Still to come... Part two...
Let me know what you think.
Take good care!
