One of the greatest entertainers, musicians and performers that we have had. I love listening to his music and watching his performances – in awe of the talent and showmanship he had – I grew up with a lot of his music and still love it to this day. To know that he has gone is really quite sad but I know he will be remembered by many as the true King of Pop and for everything he brought to the world of music and entertainment. RIP
As of today, the 1st December 2008, the government has officially rolled out for a set time, a new VAT rate of 15% as opposed to the old 17.5%.
Immediate thoughts are that on the surface it all seems to be a win-win situation for the consumer, a 2.5% drop in the VAT has to be [...]
Creative Labs are one of the biggest players in the PC Sound Card market – great hardware, but their downfall has always been the drivers and software they develop and distribute for their products. And their attitude towards customers really does stink.
The failings of their software solutions were made even more prominent with the release [...]
I originally bought my EEE PC intending to use it as an upgrade/replacement for my current Car PC as it is much smaller, consumes less power, and uses a solid state drive (SSD) for data storage (meaning no moving parts while booting the OS and frontend etc).

I woke up this morning and realised that I was 22. It’s a bit strange how an entire year elapses overnight. It was only yesterday that technically, I was 21. And I got no “Happy 21st” wishes yesterday thankyouverymuch.
I then realised that 22 is just an awesome number because it contains two of the same number [...]
A disturbing thing happened the other day. I made a decision. For those who don’t know me, I suck at making decisions thus, me making a decision was actually quite disturbing…
The decision I made wasn’t about something trivial like what to eat for Breakfast – oh no! I decided to drive a 200 mile round [...]
Yes, I’m writing something useful for a change.
A lot of companies now use what are known as “Non-Geographic” telephone numbers for call centres, support lines etc. The reasons for this are usually because it allows them to use a number which, for the most part, is a lot easier for people to remember and it [...]
I mean, he always seems to be the centre of ridicule. Granted he doesn’t help himself by wearing that ghetto costume – if you looked like this…
…you’d think people would take you seriously right? All dark and brooding and mysterious. Well actually, no. That picture makes me laugh.
You then get things like Darth and the [...]
With the hardware set up and all the software systems configured, it was now time to install the whole thing into the car itself. The whole process took a while to do and was split into three main chunks:
Wiring
The first job was to lay down all the wiring. This included power cable, speaker wire and [...]
Part three of the Car PC saga
Now that the PC itself was up and running and the screen and mount were completed, it was time to work on the insides of the beast, so to speak: the software – the thing that makes everything work!

The PC itself was based on an extremely [...]
