Fill ya van…

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

Ok so today has all been about getting things ready.. I have managed to get the sound working on the PC and even got most of the software back on it again too, I found some great looking templates that I can use as a basis for my own ideas (I normally rip them to [...]

Parcel Force and Royal Mail

Friday, May 30th, 2008

Years ago when I was a wee young lad I wanted to be a postman for a couple of months, truth be told I actually was one over Christmas and really enjoyed it but sadly it was a hard job to get and I never *made it*. In fact I remember my mother making me [...]

More clients? Yes please

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

That pesky PC with the sound problem is giving me grief still even after I shoved a new soundcard in it, I was grasping as straws truth be told as a buggered registry is not easy to fix and I though another card might be easier. It wasn’t though so I will have to try [...]

No sound sir?

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

So I picked up the PC this morning and spent a good while trying to understand why it wasn’t working.. In the end I phoned the client and explained I had no idea and would get back to them tomorrow, which sucks. I did a fair bit of other stuff during the day some remote [...]

The waiting game

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

It really does ROCK!

At long last I can see the floor!

Sunday, May 25th, 2008

The replacement BIOS chip arrived today along with my seaford angling club membership, which means I now have no excuse not to go fishing again Drove to the main super store for some bits and bobs and ended up buying stuff didn’t go for [...]

Rock Band, First impressions..

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

Ok so it arrived yesterday and had a couple of quick goes on it, my first impressions are that it is good, not great though, which sucks a bit. Anyway I can see it being a great game with 3-4 people round but as it is you have to have the volume up pretty loud [...]

Dual display, Linux and Sausages

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

Popped to a clients this morning and installed a video card so they could use two screens at once then spent ages trying to work out how to get the one on the right to be on the right.. The computer kept putting it on left so as you moved the mouse off the right [...]
