I have been in the market for at tablet computer for some time but have been waiting for my perfect moment to invest. However the Gods were consipring against me just before Christmas, with every high street (and most online) retailers out of stock of the Nexus 7. It was going to take me a […]
The Dagobah Knight Rises
Sometimes when it comes to technology I am actually rather foolish. Foolish is perhaps not the right adjective. I need something stronger from my limited vocabulary. Senseless would perhaps be the best word to use. The saying goes if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Sometimes I can just not help myself. My trusty server, […]
The Power Of The Force
People are often surprised when I explain that I do not own a games console and therefore no longer play any form of video games. Their expectations of me fail to meet the reality and I suppose, being a geek I should have some gaming fetish of some kind. I do not. The days of […]
Hacking MP3 Players
Any true geek (or is the more fashionable modern term – nerd) will want to hack his/her gadgets – whatever they may be! I am no exception to this rule but still find myself shocked at the possibilities of the open source community to come up with ingenious options for a range of rather limited […]
Goodbye XBMC! You shall be missed!
I had never heard of the Freecycle online service, although I knew some sort of community based on giving away your old items existed. It was my sister, Samantha that mentioned the website to me back in April. I had just moved into my flat in Slough and had an old TV combi unit to […]
Middle Lane Hog
When I moved into my flat in mid April and found myself in perhaps one of the most undesirable industrial towns in not only Berkshire but perhaps the whole of the South East, I made a conscious decision. No internet access (and therefore land-line) required. I thought foolishly that I would cope with using my […]
Life Changing Apps
If there are “life changing” apps in the Android Marketplace, I have not found them yet! However the Google Mobile Operating System is going from strength to strength! There are some excellent apps out there and I get surprised by all the great little touches in the apps I have already downloaded. For example Google […]
The Quickie Divorce
My HTC Desire arrived this afternoon. Signaling my divorce from Nokia after a solid twelve year marriage. I knew eventually there would come a time when I would stop purchasing Nokia mobile phones, but I never thought the end would come in such circumstances. My first leap into the app market with a fully featured […]
Sunday 12th July 2009
What a weekend! I was running around from Thursday 5pm, until this evening late at 10:20pm, when I finally came in and had some time to relax but not long enough. Work is starring me right in the face for tomorrow. My weekend started early as I had Friday off. I finished promptly at 5pm, […]
Thursday 18th June 2009
I should be on my way back from Harrow collecting my server from MightyMouse but as you have guessed I am actually still in Newbury blogging. After a delay of a few weeks, Hussein’s server arrived yesterday morning. He e-mailed me and Jon a photo of the box seconds after it arrived at his workplace. […]
