Google gives me a Wave

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

This morning I received a invite to Google Wave, thanks to the lovely IamKat (She doesn’t have invites left, so don’t hassle her with requests). I’ve had a wee play, and my first though is that it’s still got a way to go before it has a hope of changing the way people work. Going forward I [...]

Retro Happenings

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

It is said that bad thing come in threes, however this is mostly said by superstitious people so I usually just ignore them. What I do know for sure, is that, recently Retro things come in threes.

My New phone the Nokia E71

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

It seems like I’ve not had a new phone in ages. I’m not sure how long I have my K810 but I know it is getting on a bit as it’s got a fair bit of ware and tear, and the battery life is now very low. I’ve also got through about half a dozen [...]

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 [...]

What you’ll need

BlueSoleil bluetooth software (this method doesn’t appear to work for me with Microsoft’s own Bluetooth Stack)
GlovePie  
Connecting the Wiimote
Make sure your  Bluetooth is turned on.
There should be a [...]

Pong to Kong

Friday, February 20th, 2009

 During this weeks school half-term holidays the boy, my big sister and I visited the Pong To Kong exhibition at Dorman Museum. This exhibition traces the origins of electronic games in 1972 up to the present day.  (The title would suggest it goes from Pong (1972) to Donkey Kong (1981) but I guess they couldn’t find  a modern [...]

Thanks, Apple!

Monday, July 21st, 2008

Not only do I have to install crappy Quicktime when I update iTunes (which I only use because it’s the only decent podcast client available), but you also ask me if I want to install Safari. That would not have been so bad had you not installed it anyway even though I had I clicked ‘no’.
Shove that and your overrated [...]

My cable connection.

Monday, June 4th, 2007

My cable connection today is very very slow. It's seems Virgin Media are doing some 'Planned Maintenance' which has reduced my 20Mb line (of three days) to about a .5Mb Line.
