Why I might not build a PC again
This post might come across as something that sounds like a five-minute rant, but this is something a bit more than just what the title says. It’s just more of a trend of where technology has been going for the past few years, and how that trend seems to be likely to continue. Before I [...]
A tale of a laptop (and Windows 7) Part 1
— This is part 1 of a post that I will continue with when I have tested more — Well, as you may or not be aware, I recently bought a new laptop, a HP Pavilion tx2530. It doesn’t have multi-touch or any of the other naff that the latest TouchSmart tx2 series has, but [...]
Some sort of uber epic catchup thing
Well, it would appear that now my exams are all over, it would be a good time to get back to something that has been majorly ignored, and that would be my blog. I mean, when is the last time I actually wrote something in here that is of some use. Oh, so long ago [...]
A Lack of Updates
Yeah, I know I have kindof been neglecting this website somewhat at the moment. But, this is because I have been quite busy. For my first week back at Uni I had two pieces of coursework that needed completing aswell as some other stuff that needed doing. Also a week ago I had an exam [...]
Wootage Holidays
I has survived! Thankfully after two hundred years 11 weeks I have survived my first time at University and can now relax. Well, sort of. I still have a couple of pieces of work to do (that were both set yesterday) and my EngMaths exams to revise for, but apart from this, I am basically [...]
How to upgrade from Fedora 9 to 10 using Yum

New Code Plugins
Here goes nothing, a nice new plugin for my blog so I can highlight code… let’s see if it works: 1 2 3 4 5 #include <stdio.h> int main(void){ printf("Hello World\n"); } Yup, that seems to work
New Gmail Themes
Just got this update literally a minute ago, and it confused me… what the hell, my gmail looks different. It appears theres now themes built into it, which seem to be just like iGoogle themes. There are 31 themes at the moment, and I have screenshotted a few for you here: Right now I am [...]
Woo Steam Works!
Yup, it seems that steam works quite well, being that I was able to play Team Fortress 2 last night, and it was quite a good game too I have to say. Today I am just relaxing after the move, and will probabily spend some of later just going out looking for where some of [...]
University Unpacking part done
Right, this is part of the main unpacking done, obviously knowing me, the first thing I’ve tried to do is to try and get my computer on the internet. After fiddling with their security software, I’ve finally got it online, and it seems quite fast. I haven’t tried Steam but hopefully that should work later. [...]
