Went to the match last Saturday despite the fact I’ve actually give up all of Boro staying up after the humiliation of the Bolton away match. However I know there is a little piece of me that ignores this logic and will not give it up until it is mathematically impossible, so off I went [...]

Something for the weekend

Friday, April 17th, 2009

Have I used this title before? It seems likely, as it is a massive cliche.
Anyway, I’m gonna copy what those proper blogs do, and give you some suggested blog reading material for the weekend (I’m not sure what happen if you read them during the week). Some of these are a little old, but give me [...]

This week I got three seperate invites to a website called LadsLads.com, which is a little odd as It’s a  Gay Networking Website and I’m not gay. 
I’m not sure if they are spam, as Google doesn’t bring up other people receiving the same message, but I don’t know any the people who have invited me.
The messages appear [...]

Selling out (again)

ObscureInternet has been recently upgrading to 34sp’s new professional hosting package. This gives me a lot of new things to play with, including lots and lots of sub-domains, more web space and bandwidth.
So I’ve took this opportunity to bring back my top ‘cash cow’ websites, which I foolish got rid of a while back. The websites [...]

Needless to say [...]

Getting your Wireless Router to work with Windows 7

Sunday, April 5th, 2009

Since my Windows XP install has been misbehaving lately, I have been experimenting with using Windows 7 as my primary operating system. I’m doing this as I’ve had a play with the public beta of Windows 7 and I like it, it’s a massive improvement on Windows Vista, and because being an early adopter of Windows XP worked [...]

Saturday, April 4th, 2009

As anyone who is remotely aware of my existence could tell you, I love the Commodore 64, and I especially love C64 music. In the early 21st Century, thanks to Internet, I found out that there are a lot of other people who share this strange passion. I also discovered there are a large number [...]
