I needed that post.... :)

For the past few days, my house has been having power problems…. Lights turning off and on, power tripping out in the office and the like. I called the Irish power providers (the E.S.B.) on Sunday night to complain with a couple of beers in tow…...

Microsoft Virtual Earth, Bird's Eye View in Ireland

Something that came up at one of the IMTC Keynotes – Martha Rotter showed Virtual Earth and its new coverage of Ireland with the birds eye view. I didn’t know, so I am guessing others don’t either. Go take a look in Galway, Limerick...

Never has a better test been performed....

Great story from engadget. Apparently some Audiophiles could not tell the difference between Monster Cables and coat hangers.. I love it. By the way… along the same line… can anyone recommend me Component cables that work well and don’t cost 100 Euro...

Vista SP1 RTM has destroyed my inner child

Yes, you heard that right. For the last 72 hours I have been trying to figure out why my Creative Labs X-Fi card was crackling on my Dell XPS 720H2C. The Dell technical support tried everything with me! Removed drivers, reinstalled drivers, checked for...

Looking for a cheap assassin

So, I get this from Vlad a few minutes ago. I What Vlad does not realise is that I always want to kill him, it’s just that he lives to far away and hired assassins are not cheap in America.

Dear customers, please move to a different timezone

I do love ExchangeDefender… beats GFI Mailessentials hands down for our customers. I just noticed that Vlad posted one of my support tickets on his blog. Yes, to use ExchangeDefender you must move time-zone. If that is the case, I am off to Australia...

Apparently no one uses SPF....

according to simplewebhosting.co.uk anyway, whom give this excuse as to the reason they will not allow people that register their domains with them to have a SPF record published. That’s just stupid.

An annoying error at the best of times, and normally related to actual permissions problems in the registry, the file system (spool directory) permissions, or a problem in the driver itself. But, and this is the hard information to find until this blogpost...

How to check your IP, with a difference!

For ages I have used whatismyip.com and dnsstuff.com to check the IP I am presenting to the world. I was getting bored of this, but now thanks to www.moanmyip.com I can hear the IP read out by a sexy girl. Horrah!
