There’s been a bit of pruning up in my gallery – all my original work is still there, just some of the rather crappy picture of celebs have gone.

4 months of a piercing
It’s now been four months to the day that I had my piercing done. Not a great to remark upon since the last time I posted about it, last week was a little uncomfortable; a bit of encrustation (eugh) that took a few days to fix, but all sorted now. I did say that I’d leave …

Belkin Pre-N Router Review – Part 2
Well, I have to admit at least I’m getting replies from Belkin, but I’m not really getting anywhere. As a précis, it seems that the router cannot support full sized Ethernet MTUs (1500) in 802.11b mode. 802.11n seems to work fine with standard MTU sizes – I haven’t yet tried the 802.11g mode. If anyone …

It seemed to feature quite highly on a program last night about an ex-colleague called Babar Ahmad, called "The New Al-Qaeda".

Sauternes – Stupendously lovely, honey sweet desert wine from Bordeaux. The sweetness comes from the fact the grapes are rotten when harvested. Lovely with chocoloate and rotten …

Belkin Pre-N Router Review – Part 1b
A swift update to this problem of any form of uploading from wireless clients of the Belkin Pre-N router / wireless access point. In summary: Uploading via any protocol – HTTP, SMB, FTP etc. with a content or file size greater than 1kB hangs. This is to any host, whether that be directly connected to …

Windows Vista – world’s most rediculous OS name
Windows Longhorn has been in development for, well, a while. Things are now starting to progress, but only at the expense of dropping all the good bits out of it like WinFS. On top of that, they’ve decided to reveal its launch name today – Windows Vista. Dreadful. It’s supposed to convery "clarity". I think …

Futuristic Taps
As well as having a crazy chute style system instead of your normal tap tube, these taps from Hansa glow somewhere between red and blue depending on the temperature. No more burnt handies then…

Belkin Pre-N Router Review – Part 1
This is the first part of my review of the Belkin Pre-N Wireless Router. It’s not going to go into too much detail – there are plenty of indepth technical reviews of this product floating around, this is going to be more of a real world example. First up, getting it up and running was …
