I changed some of my “default” software (the applications I install on my vanilla Windows) recently, based on the previous post. TextPad out; NotePad++ in. TextPad is proprietary, NotePad++ is freeware (this seems to be a theme), and TextPad doesn’t seem to be updated very frequently Paint Shop Pro out; GIMP in. When PSP was [...]

I recently purchased a small funky rubber USB flash drive from Integral with a view to making it a platform for storing portable applications, i.e., applications that can be executed directly from the drive without installing anything on the host machine. This is especially useful for anti-malware and browser or email apps. Here’s a few [...]

… some kids find a woman’s heid in a poly bag on the beach in your home town. It’s not often that Arbroath appears on the front page of the BBC News site. It is also being reported by the Times Online, Daily Record Online, Reuters, The PA, ITN, The Guardian, The Sunday Herald, The [...]

1st of March. Unless it’s your birthday, it probably doesn’t mean a lot; but of course it’s one of the two days in the UK when new car registration numbers are issued. And to celebrate the fact, we bought a new car. With some foresight, we decided on a Nissan Qashqai.

So it was my 30th birthday recently, and we got a new LCD television for the lounge to replace the “HD compatible” rear projection one. I bought it in good faith expecting to play my XBOX 360 games in high definition, but it seems that “HD compatible” is not the same as the “HD Ready” standard [...]

I’ve been looking for a decent icon application that would support alpha channel; 24×24 icons, that ClickOnce requires on it’s updating dialog; pasting images from the clipboard; Needless to say, I’ve found it. It’s called the RealWorld Icon Editor.

Ok Gary, I’ll give that a go. eMule uTorrent Remote Desktop WordPress, and by definition, PHP mySQL YouTube Wikipedia Headphones Visual Studio SQL Server ClickOnce Yep, I think that’ll about do it.

I live in Arbroath. I work in Dundee. Therefore I have to travel along the A92 everyday to get to work. Now the A92 was upgraded a couple of years ago to be a dual carriageway, possibly in time for and because of The Open in Carnoustie, I’m not sure. Don’t get me wrong; I was expecting [...]

When you see a headline that reads Woman Jailed for Testicle Attack you’ve really got a duty to have a sneaky peaky at the story. It was never my intention to cause harm to Geoff and the fact that I have caused him injury will live with me forever. I am in no way a [...]
