Lack of Net Access

Its been a troubling Sunday. Problems with the Netgear DG814 ADSL Modem Router have resulted in a loss of conection to the net. I was suffering withdrawel symptoms. Not because I sit on the net allday, but because I coulnt use it for things when I wanted to. It’s the little things that stress me [...]

Mobile Phone

Should I get a new phone, Nokia 7250i or just get a new battery for my Nokia 3310? It will be pay-as-you-go on Orange in either case and I’m not a big phone or text user anyway. A new phone is likely to cost me £160 where as a battery is likely to cost £20. [...]

I blew up the iron :(

It was an unusual day as Tom (my housemate) had decided to use the iron. We never use the iron, its too complicated. After leaving the iron on for 30 mins it still wasnt getting warm. Tom told me this so I decided to check it out. It had water in, everything looked ok except [...]

The Sexiest PC Ever!!!

NTL – Turbo

I’ve known for a while that NTL are speeding up their connections this summer 150k to 300k, 600k to 750k and 1M to 1.5M. It was only after flicking through the July issue of .NET that I stumbled across another upgrade. The article describes a turbo button that lets the user (for a fee) speed [...]

Company System Administrators are Gimps

My PC was taken away from me at work Friday morning for an upgrade. I was told it would be back later that day. It finally arrived back this morning about 11am. They installed windows xp for me, got my emails on ok. However they managed to fudgeup the entire office install. I cant double [...]

My Guess Who’s Next

I’m guessing Ahmed or Nadia will be the next to be evicted from the Big Brother house. Ahmed has formed few ties to the rest of the group, he has strong differences in opinion on certain matters and hasn’t really made himself a valuable member of the team. Him being penalised for not being ready [...]

She has gone :)

Somethings happen that make you realise there is still hope for society. One of these things happened today. Big Brother evicted Kitten. No nominations, no public votes, just an eviction. If only people could just “do the right thing” without being motivated by another agenda then the world would be a better place.

It’s heating up a little

Big Brother is really hotting up. Kitten with 3 strikes and somebody about to go. The housemates will be glad to see the back of her. If she gets voted out though I think they are going to have to remove her by force. I can’t see her being willing to go. Tension is building [...]
