I had created this image on my iMac G5 for the occasional Windows only application when I bought that machine 2 years ago, but the image was in cold storage on DVD since with the MacBook Pro I hadn't needed it.
I had a Virtual PC for Mac image which was terminal since MS had famously killed the product, or at least won't go forward with a version for Intel Macs. Transporter is supposed to be able to migrate a PC, real or virtual from either VMWare of MS Virtual PC, into a Parallels VM, even over the network. We got Parallels for her, and I needed Windows XP installed, so I figured this would be the perfect time to see if Parallels Transporter could do all the cool things it says it can. Tickets for Pibroch – taking place on Saturday January 15 at 7.30pm at Glenbuchat Hall and Bothy in Strathdon – are currently on sale and can be purchased here.My wife is taking a class at a university, and though they say they are Mac compatible, a preparatory sample testing application is Windows only (and this wasn't disclosed before signing up for the test) which is why we had to know if it was sane to buy her a new MacBook now. John is being supported in this production by Open Road, a north-east company dedicated to developing and mentoring creative talent in the region. It will be followed by an open discussion. The performance, which is co-directed by former artistic director at the Royal Lyceum in Edinburgh Mark Thomson, is funded through Creative Scotland and The National Lottery Fund. Pibroch is also supported by critically-acclaimed piper, saxophonist and low whistle musician Fraser Fifield, alongside a team of north-east theatre professionals including film and visual artist Graeme Roger and lighting designer and production manager Simon Gane. Musician Fraser Fifield will also perform on the night. The work examines how language can be used to obfuscate or inform, and the tensions between personal agency and collective action. The new production aims to inform, challenge and encourage discussion and reflection. “We are all deeply complicit in the emergency unfolding over the next few decades and yet many of us, especially in the north-east and including myself, have relied on these energy sources to earn a wage and put food on the table.” Encouraging discussion and reflection John Bolland, writer, performer and co-director, said: “During the climate actions of 20, I became very aware of the dissonance between the necessary demands of the climate activists and the lived experience of producers and consumers associated with the fossil fuel industries. The new theatre production is based around the pibroch Lament for the Children by Padraig Mor McCrimmon, highlighting the direct Scottish links of Piper Alpha, piping and pibroch, with grief for children. Exploring links between Piper Alpha and climate emergency Don’t miss John Bolland’s new multimedia theatre production on January 15. The multimedia show is based on John’s own experience, analysis of a wide range of sources on climate change, and detailed research into the oil platform Piper Alpha which exploded and sank in July 1988, killing 165 of the men on board. Pibroch, which premieres on Saturday January 15, links the personal and social experiences of Piper Alpha survivors with the challenges we all face due to the climate crisis. “Having been actively involved in the oil and gas industry’s response to the Piper Alpha disaster in the North Sea and internationally, I was acutely aware of the parallels.” “How do you respond when you find yourself on a burning platform – as the Earth currently is?” asks John.
