Back in April I was having a problem with my Thecus N4100 Pro where it was taking a long time to boot up, I’m talking around 8 hours or so. The confusing part was that on the display, it said it was ready, even though it hadn’t moved to displaying status information yet, and when [...]

As of version 0.7.97, Dropbox has an extremely useful feature called LAN sync. Basically the way it works is that, when enabled, after a file is updated on one computer, it syncs with the Dropbox servers.

This got me to thinking a bit today, and also trends I’ve noticed previously and things that people have pointed out to me and that sort of thing. Who really is watching?

When we were looking at upscaling DVD players for dad for his birthday, the Samsung literally jumped out at us.
I’m fond of Samsung to start with, so they automatically got a fairly high opinion from me, but then we came across the DVD-1080P8 in Harvey Norman alongside all the other brands.

This morning, I came across this CSS property that I’ve not seen before whilst I was having a look at whats available in CSS for special devices, like screen readers.
CSS 2 introduced the azimuth CSS property which is effectively targetted at users browsing the web with screen readers. I’m not sure that any of the [...]
