Since I upgraded my living situation a few weeks ago (moved into a new house share with 2 friends) I’ve been without an internet connection. We ended up having to wait 2 weeks for BT to “install” our phone line (in quotes since it was physically already there), then around 10 days for the ISP [...]
Also tagged Online & WWW, RantsI’m on my second ThinkPad now. Last year I replaced my failing T42 with a T60. Both had/have ThinkLights, but I’ve never seen the point in them before…
Right now though, sitting in the garden at night, I finally see the point (I can see my keyboard!!!). Mind you, it’s irrelevant how well lit my laptop [...]
Woo yeah for me - I finished setting up my new PC this afternoon Loving the responsiveness that Core2Duo/2GB memory gives you - Eclipse positively flies on this thing!
Installation was a little more work than usual, but still pretty simple. Since the new motherboard uses the dreaded JMicron JMB361 SATA/PATA controller the 2006.1 install [...]

In response to an early-day motion (EDM) tabled by John Pugh [...]
OK, so last.fm is nothing new. I signed up a while back, but I never actually got around to setting up a client. Since moving into the new flat back in September I haven’t been playing music through my PC, I’ve been using XBMC, since my xbox is plugged into the hifi and the PC’s [...]
Also tagged GeneralI got my new screens today - yes I said screens I am now the proud owner of two AG Neovo F-419 19″ TFTs.
X.org with xinerama running at 2560×1024 on these babies is oh so very sweet. I currently have a permanent grin on my face while using my PC.
It’s not just for show [...]
I have begun to use a (private) wiki as a place to put information that I gather as I progress with my research project. It’s a nice way of quickly adding information in a stuctured manner and having a history is nice for tracking how the project is progressing and I think it will come [...]
