Achieving something good today…
I’ve been looking for a way to get access to the files on my PC without wasting power keeping my computer on 24/7. The easiest way to do this is to keep the PC off all the time and find a way of turning it on without being in front of it.
The [...]
I’ve tried to do some editing of my Holiday photos today but it seems to be hopeless.
PSP (Paint Shop Pro) 11 strips out all the tags and exif (data embedded into the photo) information from the picture. This gives me a catch 22.
If I put the GPS and tags onto my pictures first, and then [...]
Even if I wanted an iPhone it was always worth watiing. Now with announcements like http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official it shows it’s worth it
I’ve been having a play with photo maps in the last couple of days, playing with applications and website widgets that show maps. I’ve tried trippermap on www.mediaguy.co.uk/map.

I’m starting to get somewhere with C# now.
I started learning this language with learnvisualstudio.net, a video-on-demand type site that shows you how to do things. It is good and gets you started very quickly but doesn’t really explain much. I’ve coupled this with with a For Dummies book and a Microsoft Base Class Library book [...]
You find google doing some strange things when you search for as much as I do, but one of my flickr account statistics made me find out that a google search for
archos web browser
Doesn’t actually bring the Archos web browsing plugin as the number one result. The number one result is actually my Flickr photo [...]
It’s been an interesting week for me and mostly about learning new things.
I had a talk with the IT depearment’s human resources person last week about progression through ISS. It wasn’t a job interview but a ‘what can you do’ talk. I think this is a great idea as people on the main campus never [...]
Being valentines today I obviously have to mention Amy as my beauty but we do have another here at the moment for the geek in all of us
