I took this screenshot a while ago and totally forgot about it. I thought it was amusing then and I found it amusing a couple minutes ago when I came across it again on my hard drive.

My parents have been having an issue with the internet at their place for a while now. I’ve just had a chance to look at it and it is quite suspicious.

I recently replaced a 4 year old server for one of my clients which was running Microsoft Small Business Server 2003 as it was starting to seriously struggle to keep up with every thing. On top of that, almost every morning it would be unconnectable, it really wasn’t worth fixing.

I was just reading a post over at the Global Thoughtz Technology blog about Brian Croll, Apple’s OS X Marketing Vice President, commenting that Windows 7 uses antiquated technology. The post itself I think is valid, Brian Croll’s comments may be fair, they may not be, but either way Windows 7 is a huge improvement [...]

It’s great to see a boss pointing these things out to the employees. Sure, a cash handout is great, but ongoing work is much better.
Have a read of the letter that this employer sent to his employees here.
As a small business owner, I agree with this email entirely, even though I only employ one person [...]

Google Chrome, the most recent browser to join the fray. Is Chrome just a browser though?
I have to say I don’t think so. The release of Chrome reinforces my views that Google are directly targeting the operating system and integrated applications market. Be warned that the below is entirely my thoughts and theories based on [...]

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) without [...]
