The Cooler Master X Craft 350 Lite is an external USB (there is an e-SATA version as well) enclosure for 3.5″ hard drives. It has a fairly schmick design and comes with an upright stand, however, if you have more than one, they are designed to be stackable as well. I picked one up about [...]
I was recently helping a friend move their XP install over to a new hard drive without having to re-install XP or any of their programs. The situation is this, she previously had an 80gb drive with XP installed on it, and a secondary 250gb drive. She bought a 750gb drive and wanted to move [...]
I received a completely unexpected present from a good friend of mine a couple of months ago, a new Palm Treo 750 running Windows Mobile 6. I am quite fond of the design of the Palm Treo’s as they manage to incorporate an (almost) full keyboard along with a reasonable sized screen (240px * 240px) [...]
In continuing on from my blog the other day where I was wondering what would happen if I were to run a second router on our phone line. Well, I picked up a Netcomm NB5 yesterday for $45 at Umart Online, brought it home and hooked it up. After a fair amount of fiddling around, [...]

I finally got fed up enough with my phone that I went and got a new one on Sunday when I ran out of credit instead of getting more credit. I have been looking into a new phone for a while now as my old Panaxonic X700 has been playing up, switching itself off for [...]
It’s times like these that I am especially glad I have already upgraded my computer. I have been re-rendering a bunch of fractals for print at 300 dpi on A0 and A2 sized paper. Even on the new computer, in order to get them done in time to have the high res images ready for [...]
I wrote about the Axiotron Modbook back in January, back then, I thought it was one of the greatest idea’s for a Mac, and I still do. I came across this video review from Mahalo Daily and I have to say, if I didn’t already have my Macbook Pro, the Modbook would be very appealing [...]
Who remembers my theories on how Apple are increasing their market share and becoming more and more of a threat to Microsoft and their massive market. Now a huge threat mind you, but it is still happening. Well, the Oklahoma Christian University is now providing free Macbook’s to all their students, as well as an [...]
