So yes a bit of a rant but I need a bit of a vent... Set up A situation occurred today whilst at the local park, I was happily out and about in the sunshine, taking some photos and whilst sat at a bench having a snack and drinkies I hear someone shouting out, (initially) presumably after their...

(I hope) So I have finally decided that I have definitely had enough of this country, my career as it is and life here in general so I have started the process of applying for residency (and eventually citizenship) in....... drum roll....... New Zealand :D I'm not going to go into to...

I'm going to New Caledonia clicky 1 clicky 2 for 3 weeks in September and I can't wait, I've been to Brazil and Australia but not been away for this long before (or this far...well lets face it I can't go much further it's virtually the other side of the planet!). Also planning a few days on...

The idea is to get from an actor, TV show or film back to the same actor, TV show or film in at least 6 steps (rather than tying to get the least number of steps if you gather my meaning - that's too easy). Each step can be done either via an actor a TV show or film the more interesting and...

OK not just me but I thought it might be fun/ interesting to post your awesome moments, you know those times you did something that was well.....awesome. Sporting/ home/ work/ gaming anything goes come on show off a bit :p For me I guess my work one would be successfully diagnosing a problem...

Well today was an interesting/ surprising one for sure, I was filming a guy for a client who was doing some golf club/ golf ball tricks, you know the thing (he wasn't that bad actually) but as I was setting up I noticed the club the client had brought in for him to use (he didn't have his own in...

2 days ago NASA posted a very interesting media advisory for a press announcement clicky due for 2pm EST tomorrow. It will also be streamed live on the internet. The most interesting part: Here is an article with some mild speculation which interestingly details the roles of the participants...

It's kind of Windows and/or hardware related but this is more of a 'fun' thing so posting here (mods if you think it should be moved please do). I've seen plenty of PC case mods before and tbh I've never really wanted one because imo they tend to either be too gaudy or would age very quickly...

This raises a smile clicky it's a list of 1 star Amazon reviews of what are generally considered classic films/albums, they are real comments but I concede some of them may be 'fake' but here is a couple of highlights: On This Is Spinal Tap On 2001 - A Space Odyssey Enjoy :)

I'm sure some of you know about this but a fan made prequel to the Lord of The Rings trilogy was released last weekend now I wouldn't normally post stuff like this on the interweb but this blew me away. It was done on a £3000 budget and it is frankly astonishingly good, by far much better than...

In case anyone is interested Windows 7 should be available from here from tomorrow. I've have an slightly earlier version and it look very very promising, very quick, very clean (works great for an early beta) a kind of striped down lean Vista with some nice new features, this could be the best...

Sorry for the short notice - forgot to post this when I heard :rolleyes: but if your quick i.e. before 23:59 CST this evening you can register for a fully legal and pro version of CrossOver which allows you to run Windows software and games without a Windows licence for nowt :cool: The CEO made...

I've been tracking this story for a while now but we've only really found out now what it actually does (almost ! - no ones 100% certain). What is Phorm ? I quote - "It's a technology that can deliver targeted advertising based on a user's browsing habits using deep packet inspection." The...

This was very sad news, my heart genuinely sank when I heard this morning. Clicky He was a hero to me and many millions of people, he particularly inspired scientists and artists alike, his writing encouraged people to open their minds and inspired imagination. Here's a small list of some of...

Just to show off :p I got one of these recently Cowon Q5W PMP, I upgraded from my Creative Vision M and man is it sweet. Pro's Picture quality - excellent (the screen is quite reflective on bright days but not really distracting) Audio quality - excellent (probably the best in it's class)...

Check around and can't find anything useful, more of a case of can't see the woods for the trees really :p but here we go: I doing a very simple form which I want to output to HTML (directly), it work fine and is ideal for what I need but I want to use a template to alter the colours and add a...

Thought you guys might be interested in Strata. It, as the title suggests, is a new browser (currently beta) that can sort the data found. Kind of a database and browser in one :cool: TBH I think their website is still in beta as I'm getting a few errors at the moment :p but worth a look.

This is a bit tricky (though not for you guys I'm sure ;)) but my collegue has created a spreadsheet to allocated resources thoughout the day and one thing we would like is to have a dynamic time line that will scroll across the sheet as the time changes (at 15 mins intervals). We can do it...

Some of you may have picked up on my post about Bootcamp which will enable you to run WinXP on a Mac (Intel Mac only) but a new product has just been released which will enable you to run Windows apps (inc. games!) under OSX WITHOUT installing Windows (again Intel Mac's only), the key thing is...

This thread (in 2 parts) will be a guide to setting up Windows so you can be confident that if you leave your PC on and connected to the internet for any length of time unattended that you will not pick any nasties or be 'hacked' by some spotty nerk, it should also ensure you can be confident in...
