Technical PC Stuff
30 May 2009
For those who’ve had a look at my previous posts, you may now be interested in giving this a go yourself. If you’re nervous, then don’t worry – it’s not THAT daunting to do. There are some fantastic guides out there.
The main problem with doing this is that there are a lot of different [...]

You may have noticed something new on the site if you happen to call back here fairly regularly. On the sidebar of the site, there’s now a natty little flash slideshow running, showing a random selection of my photos. Underneath, there’s a link, which takes to you an altogether more fancy setup which [...]

I’ve been playing (and in fact am currently) with using my N73 as a modem with my PC laptop. As I’ve said before, I’m on the Three UK mobile broadband add-on, which I wanted to use with the Nokia 770. Thing is, this weekend, I’m away from home, so got the impetus to [...]

Here I go again. Praising the abilities of this technological wonder I now own…
See that image above? Click on it for bigness. It’s an image of Windows XP running inside OS X, and acting as a TVersity transcoding media server to my Xbox 360 sitting downstairs. I set this up [...]

I got a stroke of inspiration this morning and, having thought about what to search for on Google, I put in ‘Cubase with Bootcamp’. Got the following:-
Google Search for Cubase with Bootcamp
Good news! Looks, from general Consensus, that SX3 on Bootcamp is a very viable option. Looks like I may be [...]

Hmmmmm…
Something just occured to me. Basically – I want one of these….
It’s one of the new iMacs that I was wittering on about in my last post. I tried one today in the Apple premium reseller in Cardiff, and I’m smitten. Sad I know, but there we go. What I’m trying to work out [...]

I’ve just purchased myself one of these little babies (click for bigness)…
It’s a Nokia 770 Internet Tablet. In a nutshell, it’s a WiFi and Bluetooth Enabled internet and Email client, running a version of, get this nerds, Debian Linux. These things have been around for a little while now (probably a year and [...]

I said I’d be back once I’d done some testing – so here I am! And the answer? Well – I’d say the overall experience has been resoundingly positive, though not without hiccups along the way…
As I said in the main review – part of Fotospeed’s service is to provide you with custom [...]

Today, I aquired something that I’ve been meaning to get for ages – a Continuous Ink system. I love my Epson Stylus Photo 1290, but the inks for it are so damn expensive (as for all printers!). In the past, I’ve used Genuine Epson inks and Jet Tec inks interchangably, with generally very [...]

Had to post about this. It has its faults, and I won’t be using it after the initial play-around. Basically, someone has produced an ‘Exposé’ clone for Vista. For those not in the know, Exposé is OS X’s wonderful windows management system, where you can press a key or move the mouse [...]

I was suprised yesterday – well – technically this morning. Just after I posted my last post (about the lack of problems with Vista!), I rebooted my PC into vista, only to be presented with a blue screen (and by this, I mean blue screen with no text!), shortly folowed by a [...]
