OK, so I’ve uploaded a couple of runs now… I like it, and I like the fact that there’s a growng community behind with the coders actively seeking out improvements. I’m particularly looking forward to the ability to plot your speeds on top of the map. They also have a nice widget, so I can …

New Nike+ running site
I’m a bit of a fan of my Nike+iPod system (and the sexy lycra running gear to match, but that’s another matter…) but the only problem I’ve found is that you’re forced into using the Nike running website to store your data and graph your runs. Firstly the Nike running site is a bit slow …

New Nike+ gear
Engadget are carrying some pictures of soon-to-be-released Nike+ watches that tallk to your shoes and your iPod. Looks like I need to save up for the 1st of May… [Via http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/19/slew-of-new-nike-gear-leaked/]

WinTV Nova-T USB2 and Vista
I posted a while back about the troubles I’d been having with my Hauppauge DVB TV card. Hauppuage don’t have any drivers that work with hyperthreaded and dual core CPUs; Vista will blue screen shortly after starting to use the TV card. The Microsoft supplied drivers that get installed from Windows Update when you plug …

O2 voicemail improvements
O2 have just told me through our corporate provider that they’ve made some changes to the 901 voicemail service. In particular, you can now have the voicemail notification flag set on your phone, rather than a text or phone call. I remember having this on Orange years back and it was really neat. I’ve just …

Living with Vista – part 2: more niggles
I promise I’ll write up some of the good things about Vista at some point, but I have to get the bad stuff out of the way first. These are going to seem a bit nit-picky, but I think they’re pretty symptomatic of what the regular user’s going to experience once they get their mits …

Case modding
It’s pretty weird and to some it will be a complete waste of time: I present my SGI O2 case mod – I’ve stuffed a Core 2 Duo Vista machine inside the case of a mid-90s vintage workstation. As it’s quite a major undertaking, I’ve written up its own dedicated page.

Gallery updated
I’ve switched to using Gallery2 instead of Coppermine for my gallery software – it’s a lot easier to create custom themes and to upload items. I think I’ve updated all the pictures used in the blog, but there’ll still be external links that point to the wrong place… Let me know if you think anything’s …

Living with Vista – part I: power management
I’ve been running Vista in various locations at home & work for a few months now and I though it was time to write about my experiences. Part of my day job recently has been looking at power saving, and putting machines to sleep (S3 standby) after a certain period of inactivity. In Windows XP …

Squeaky Nano
Apparently some people have reported that their 2G iPod Nanos make a high pitched noise when they’re in use… I have to admit that I hadn’t really noticed, but if I put my ear to mine (8GB black) then I can just about hear it, and I have pretty sensitive ears to squealing noises! I …
