Too long out

I recently started playing Star Trek Online for the first time in months. On my new computer the game looks absolutely stunning (then again, I'd probably say that about anything with post 2007 graphics). Way better than on my old computer. But it's been so long since I've played it that the controls and whatnot ...

A new computer

So I finally got my new computer finished with only two major problems in the end. The first of course was my case being too small, and the second being my copy of Windows 7 which I bought from a seemingly reputable ebay sel ...

Weekend. Finally.

So my working weekend has finally arrived. Two days of nothing to do but what I feel like doing. And I feel like doing absolutely nothing at all. That on the other hand is something I don't have the luxury of doing. So the first thing I'm going to do is probably spend the entirety of tomorrow with friends. 'Cau ...

Creative WoW Wireless Headset

Recently I purchased a new headset to replace my current set of headphones. To use your imagination, my last pair of headphones is about five years old and is currently being held together with two pieces of wood and some super glue. Don't get me wrong, they were fantastic headphones, and if the cord didn't keep g ...

A hint for amateur computer builders.

I have a small hint for anyone who decides they want to build their own computer. It's a pretty basic thing that should always be done: Make sure all your components are compatible. Yours truly however, didn't successfully do that. To the best of my knowledge, all of my components are completely compatib ...

There's the love!

Turns out recycling old code does have it's draw backs. When using my method of applying Google services, I completely forgot to change the Google Analytics tracker code to this domain, so for the last two days, it's been reporting absolutely zero visits to this site. Which was such a drag. I've since realised ...

The pieces of the puzzle.

About May I decided I was going to build a new computer, to replace my current Pentium 4. It's been a good computer for the duration I've had it and used it, but it's time to move forward and into the new generation. After all, I'm still running Windows XP, and any games post 2006 are a struggle to run, most uncoo ...

Stepping on up.

As I mentioned in my about page, I'm a supermarket worker who loves his job way more than he should. Well, that has just paid off. Today I awoke, at 8:50am to the sound of a car leaving my driveway. Not twenty minutes later, I was disturbed by a phone call from my boss. She told me to come into the store, there ...

Key issues with the Logitech MX5500

Logitech has always been known to me as a brand that makes great comfortable and problem-free interface hardware. Their mice and keyboards (at least all the ones I've tried) have always been reliable, comfortable and hassle free. Which is why I am amazed at just how disappointed I am with the Revolution MX5500. ...

It's alive... again...

And now launches my website for like, the fifth time in three years. Only this time, I'm contented with the layout, it's simple, flexible and non-distracting. Not to mention easy to update. Seeing as I recently abandoned my last active blog, I was getting restless not having anywhere to vent my frustrations or ...
