It seems that for the last two years I’ve just been too busy and not had enough to say.
So for now I’m going to put my old blog on hold, it’s still up for viewing here but I won’t be updating it for the foreseeable future.
In the meantime, you can find my latest [...]

It still hurts a little when I walk :O

A dog was admitted to a veterinary clinic in Austria at the weekend, barely able to stand on his own four paws and reeking "like a beer hall."
The dog had dreadful wind and diarrhea and was vomiting a lot," vet Karl Hofbauer said.

wouldn’t be ashamed labeling sulfuric acid "delicious baby formula."
I can attest, it’s true!

After being sane and logical and reasoned (allegedly) for years, I got bored and jumped on this "Social Networking" bandwagon.  But it wasn’t all my fault. Honest.  Mulcahy made [...]

I’ve started to use a fantastic free piece of software called Miro.  It can automatically download and play tv shows off the web.    Since it has Bittorrent and rss support, it’s easy to add an rss feed of your favourite shows and it simply downloads the newest episode every time it’s released. 
And it’s so [...]

Bear with me, I’ve just upgraded the site to wordpress 2.2.  Anything that’s broken, I’m using this as an excuse.
I might even throw up a post or two soon!!!

The Mini Power Minder is an eco-friendly device that can actually make your life easier. You plug your computer in the primary outlet, along with a USB. When you turn off your computer, the second plug turns off automatically.  This is the perfect solution for those running printers, desk lamps, and all sorts of other [...]

Lifehacker have a great how-to showing how to install MediaWiki (The software that runs Wikipedia) on a local PC using a piece of software called WAMP.  WAMP is a useful tool that installs Apache, PHP and MySQL like PHPTriad used to do in the past.
The wiki could be useful for any number of things, IT [...]
