You may have read that I recently installed a complete new system in my family house lounge? Well here is the kit I used:
Samsung 46″ 5 Series LCD (Comet – £599)
SkyHD+ box (Sky – £30)
PS3 Slimline 120GB (Asda – £180)
HDMI 10.2Gbps Monster Cable x2 (Amazon – £100)
Logitech Z5500 5.1 THX (Amazon – £298)
This setup falls [...]
I’ve often slated SkyHD about how it’s not ‘true’ high definition. However, with the approach of the new year this seems like a good time to make amends. More to the point, Sky have offered a free SkyHD+ box, with 50% off the installation fee (I should think so too – I routed the additional [...]
For those of you in the know, you will understand the burden which is IE6. It’s far less efficient, and awkward to boot, at designing websites to look both good and work well. Amongst the problems are;
Images can’t be wider than 800px
Images can’t be .PNG
Padding is calculated differently
IE in general is a nuisance; things in [...]
So the new site is finally up and running. It’s already been optimized for IE and Firefox, but the menu is still causing problems on certain browser versions.
Please fill in the poll, it only takes two clicks and will help me loads! Feel free to comment too if you have time! I can add [...]
As some of you may have been aware, the site has been down for a few days now! – My fault for messing around with stuff.
The term “If it’s not broke… Don’t fix it” comes to mind.
Anyway, I’m back now with a much improved site, ready to start blogging all over again.
Note: I lost all [...]
I was watching ‘The Gadget Show’ last night, and a particular gadget took my eye. It’s the Eye-Fi. A wireless SD card which automatically uploads any photos on it to either a PC or the internet (such as TweetPic or Flickr).
It’s a great idea – with one minor issue: Naughty photos (such as drunk office [...]
I recently read the blog ‘Is Twitter The Main Force Behind The Wave?‘, which was wrote by Alex Sleat (a personal friend of mine) and discussed the use of Twitter to not only market Google Wave but also spread invites. In response, here are my thoughts on the first three points raised in his article, [...]
I have had the ‘Google XML-Sitemap’ plug-in for Wordpress installed for a time now, and everything was working perfectly.
However, after the plug-in was updated some time last week it started showing errors in Google’s Webmaster Tools. The error was the following.
“Paths don’t match we’ve detected that you submitted your Sitemap using a URL path that [...]
Google have recently announced some new features, demonstrating again its dominance over the World Wide Web!
Google’s latest feature is the integration of ‘real-time result’s (RTR’s) including Twitter, Facebook and Myspace updates to be shown for relevant search results. Although the feature is currently limited to a minority of key words it will be built upon [...]
The best game on the iPhone I think is ‘Orbital’.
It’s a brick-breaker styled game, shooting from the bottom of the screen like in bejewelled. The graphics are great, not to mention the simplistic yet addictive game play which makes for a unique experience.
It’s all about shooting circles and watching them grow as you blast other [...]
