What’s New?

What’s New? – Well okay not much.

Work has gone crazy so I am doing long hours and trying to chill out as much as possible. This last weekend was the first break I had in the last two weeks. I have been that busy that I have not had the chance to further my search

Bully Boy Tactics

So yet again we see bully boy tactics of the big corporations. This time against isohunt.com – a renowned bittorrent search engine. For once I fully agree with the stance they are taking.

It’s a bit like banning libraries rather than burning all the books inside. These corporations need to embrace the technology and not just

Technology eh!?

So here I am having another chilled out day at home, doing little and watching the Olympics.

Okay so I am not technically doing nothing.

In fact I am busy trying to sort out my pc’s etc. I have spent the last couple of hours trying to get my blog subscription plugin to work. I had very

More Haste Less Speed? Not Always

So I finally have my new broadband connection set up. Finally I am in the modern world. Well kind of.

I now have my new ADSL2+ broadband connection setup. I should have in theory get 24Mbps download speeds. To be honest I don’t think that will ever happen but it’s a start.

In fact it’s a pretty

Hosts eh?

If you have visited recently you probably came across an IIS error – I have yet to have a response from the hosting company about this but it has taken a week or two of nagging to get it resolved.

There is nothing worse than someone telling

FLV Embedding

Okay so this gets a bit technical but explains why my embedded FLV’s weren’t running.

When Flash Player movie files that stream external FLV files (Flash videos) are placed on a Microsoft Windows 2003 server and then viewed in a browser, the SWF file plays correctly, but the FLV video does not stream. These files work

It’s all PC these days!

So I have spent the last day and a half rebuilding PC’s for my father.

I guess our house is unique in that it actually had eight seperate PC’s and a laptop!!

The majority of which were obselete or had disks that had stopped booting. By the end of the process from four machines and eight HD’s

And Finally

Well I have had pretty much most of this last week off on holiday. It feels pretty good to have caught up on so much stuff.

As you can see I have been doing some consolidation of my web sites. I have uploaded this new PHP blog, which if I do say so myself is pretty

Well Howdy!

I have been very busy since I wrote last. Last weekend saw the arrival of spring here in NZ. With the clocks going forwards we had temperatures up to 25c. You can’t complain really!

I have been busy over the last couple of weeks trying to remove the massive backlog of photos from my pc’s.
