extract music from portal

October 28, 2007

Partly because I just completed portal for the second time, and partly because I’ve always wondered – here’s how you extract the end credits music (which is both really well written, and also sums up the whole game.) WARNING – If you haven’t completed the game, don’t extract the portal music, as it contains spoilers [...]

cool ancient computers

October 26, 2007

A bit of (traditional) Friday humour – also there wasn’t a lot going on in the world of tech when I wrote this post. It’s hard to imagine how the humble desktop PC has evolved from these brick-like beauties.. And it really wasn’t that long ago to be honest. Only 25 years or so – [...]

the end of uncapped internet services

October 25, 2007

There has been a growing trend over the last year or so of ISPs moving away from "all you can eat" broadband for £17 a month. Even though the initial uptake by customers, for such a good deal, was huge with the likes of Tiscali quickly becoming the biggest ISP in the country, I don’t [...]

October 17, 2007

31 hours and 4 minutes since they set off from the east-coast of America, they arrive at the west-coast. How? Because their car is the ultimate geek machine. GPS, police scanners, thermal imaging cameras, laser jammers & LCD displays all make up the ultimate Cannonball Run across The States. The previous record was 32 hours [...]

wordpress tips and tricks

October 15, 2007

Obviously written because I’m a big wordpress fan – this very blog uses it, and I can’t sing the wordpress group’s efforts in creating an awesome piece of software. However, there is always room for improvement and it always amazes me how the users in the community can take the software and adapt it for [...]
