As promised, here are my feelings on the latest RC1 release of firefox: Firstly, the British English dictionary has been fixed, so well done to the author!! Secondly, I’ve been so impressed with the stability and usability of this latest build, that I’ve installed it on my home PC, home laptop and work laptop (it’s [...]

This is probably one of the neatest and smallest contained security computers I’ve seen ever. Not only does it look really cool, but does everything you would need to keep the internet safe. Included with this miniture computer is a Firewall, Anti-spam/phishing, Virus scan, Spyware and all sorts of other things. Being an IT professional [...]

Yeap, you heard me right, RC1 is now available for download. After testing the various betas of firefox over the last months, they’ve all been pretty stable. I’m sure this version will be no different, although expect a few add-on/theme glitches while the community gets compatible with the new version. However, everything else, at least [...]

If you’ve ever heard of [craig's list] then you’ll be very comfortable with this website. The equivalent really for the UK really, although, like craig’s list, expansion is ongoing to other areas in the globe. For the uninitiated, craig’s list and gumtree are sites that create an online community, based around your location. If you [...]

Yeah, I know, I seem to be going on about this stuff quite a bit but I think it’s pretty important damnit!!! Maybe it’s because I have a few laptops hanging about, and maybe it’s because I notice when they get really hot, or the PSU’s are beyond touching, but should things be actually blowing [...]

It’s not really much of a news type post, more of an observation really. Just to note how cool things are nowadays… Never did I realise at aged 12 with my ZX Spectrum, that I would be sat in a hotel room, hundreds of miles from home 19 years later with a laptop hooked up [...]

Yeap, I think we all knew it was coming after the recent Dell battery recall fiasco. Now Virgin Atlantic has joined Qantas and Korean Air as the third company to ban Dell Batteries, as well as the sony manufactured Mac laptop batteries. The recent article on Engadget details speculation that all airlines will probably follow [...]

So we have the new version of iTunes 7.0. It has a few updates but basically looks the same (to the uninitiated.) So what’s the difference?? Well, to summarise: iTunes Music Store is now just iTunes Store (presumably to incorporate the movies and things too and to get away from the “online music store” feel [...]

I found this whilst stumbling about – a high res picture of Saturn’s rings taken by the Cassini probe (which was Cassini-Huygens until the Huygens part hurtled towards Titan at stupid-miles-per-hour.) Taken from 610,000 km away from the rings, it’s amazing the detail you can see. It’s very fractal like. [link]

This list is pretty comprehensive if you have a blog. If you implement at least half of these things I reckon you’ll see a definate increase in traffic. I personally do most and my traffic is still very light. The only thing I haven’t done is really promote the blog. I was hoping some of [...]
