As One

As a child I was very small, almost feral looking. My hair was the wiry dispicable kind that even a mother can’t love, not really. I lived in a house like everyone else did, a house with a roof and running water, but still, for some reason puberty got pretty confused. It didn’t know which way it wanted to turn. Some days it wanted me to become a regular human man, but some days it wanted something different. I got More

Boffin Factory

There are so many obsessed, energy-saving, scientific knowing boffins throughout the world, aren’t there? Turn on the TV at almost any time and one is sure to jump up scratching his bald head, saying ’er…'a lot, clearly battered after another night of intellectually-clouded awful sleep. While it’s ludicrous to think that all these great minds could get together—and come to think of it probably un-wise, too, seeing what tends to happen when clever people get together en masse: trouble and More

Walking The Plank.

It seems that the business of internet piracy is very black and white. People are either all for it or totally against it. And there appears to be very little room for discussion in between. If you ask a lot of the public they will simply say it’s wrong, even if they have never used a computer. Because ‘piracy’ conjures up nasty images and sounds so blatantly illegal it puts the fear of God in many people.

But is it More

To Be Continued

Picture the scene: you’ve been working for the company for five years and have done well, as well as anyone, what with the over-time—but times are hard; a new mortgage is hard to come by, everything costs more and more every day, and you need to find some way of making money: you need to do this fast. Then you discover that by simply altering a few numbers—things which only you would notice, small, insignificant things that can’t do More

To Watch A Deadman.

Portishead are one of those bands that like to mess around with film-making. For a lot of musicians, this can be a rather dodgy area. Making music is one thing, but managing to create a half-decent movie is a very different matter. You think that’s harsh? Then you obviously don’t remember Vanilla Ice. Actually, his music and his film were both crap so that is perhaps a bad example… But if you do manage to get it all right then More

Me And My Mouse.

I have never gone much for the theory of evolution, but when it comes to mice it is a different matter… To avoid confusion, I should point out that I am not talking about the cute, furry variety. They may have evolved, but it is something that I have no knowledge of. The mice of which I speak are, of course, for computers.

The first mice for PCs had balls. And I do not mean they were valiant. They More

A Simple Review Of Windows 7

Windows 7 is the latest operating system from Microsoft. The company purports that this new system will not have many of the problems its predecessor, Vista, did. Windows 7 has brought with it some very new features and improvements in other areas. Here is a simple review of Windows 7.

Speed

The new operating system performs much faster than Vista did. Speed was one of the main issues users of Windows Vista had. They accomplished this improvement in speed by More

Music While You Work.

When you spend hours on end in front of a computer screen you can listen to all of your favourite music whilst you work. I find it easy to concentrate on my web design and listen to all kinds of things at the same time. I think that I am very lucky to be in my line of work because there are plenty of other jobs out there where listening to songs would not be an option.

Some people have More

Oh Dear, John.

Ha, Ha. I really enjoyed reading, ‘Runt’s Life is For Sale – Again’. There are so many rotters out there who are trying to do people out of money and it is brilliant when you hear a story like this.

The internet is rife with scammers and con-artists. It isn’t so bad for people who are familiar with most of the tricks but I feel really sorry for anyone who is new to it all.

There are a lot of More

GTA IV Fever.

This post about ‘Grand Theft Auto IV’ has rekindled my excitement. I read lots about it a while ago but I still haven’t seen any footage or screenshots.

I have been a big fan of the GTA games right from the very first one on the old, chunky Playstation. When I look back on it I can’t believe how much fun it was to play the first ‘top down’ episode of the series. After a few years passed and Rockstar released ‘Grand Theft Auto III’ in glorious 3D it completely blew me away.

I think that ‘San Andreas’ is still my favourite but I am very interested in getting my mitts on the latest installment…
