Not at all faster and still with terrible wifi range

By Iain 10 January 2014Internet, Music, ReflectionsNo Comments

The title just about sums up the new modem. I won't take a picture of the speed test as I can't be bothered to make one - you'll just have to take my word for it. The technician left without setting it up or telling us what any of the usernames and/or passwords were as well, which meant a half-hour…

Surface tension

By Iain 25 July 2013Internet, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

Brilliant pun!!! Anyway, before Christmas I was contemplating getting a Surface. You know, that Microsoft tablet. My interest has slowly waned for it though.

So, I'm about to upgrade my OS to Windows 8 Pro. I'm never usually this eager to take up new technology, I mean, I never started using Firefox until Chrome was generally perceived as "the best". Funny, just writing out the tag for Chrome made me realise I've never mentioned Chromehounds on here before - it is one of my…

I was never totally enamoured with the Kodak Easyshare software that came with my digital camera, and I never got around to installing it on my new PC. Still, I just plugged the camera in, and Windows Explorer fucking killed it. In a good way, I mean. Copied all the photos over, named them nicely, and it was just generally…
