Seb Rogers, the Mountain Bike photographer has released a screensaver of some his work. Both screensavers include some of my favourite pics as well as a clock and date function, so you can kid yourself that staring at mountain bike pictures serves some useful purpose. Enjoy! Check out the article on Seb’s blog. The only problem is that at present it is PC only, Mac version arriving shortly. And...

Last night I downloaded the trial version of Aperture to test out and see what it is all about. For those of you in the dark Aperture is Apple’s ‘Pro’ photo application, think of Aperture as what Final Cut Pro is to iMovies for iPhoto. It installed fine and everything looks great but I am totally at a loss now on how to manage my library. Before iPhoto would take care of everything for me and I...

Lucy has gone away for a few days on some work related training thing, so I’m left to my own devices. What do I do for three days? How can I pass the time? Just me, the Xbox and some killer games. Time to catch up with some serious gaming. First up we have Splinter Cell Double Agent; bit old hat now I know but I’ve not really had the time to really check this out. Next up there is Tony Hawk’s...

I have been trying to set up Chris’ latest offering to the WordPress community; the LifeStream plugin. Everything looks to be working apart from my Twitter feed, I just can;t seem to get it to show up. I’ve run the feed through FeedBurner, along with other feeds but no...

It would appear that my Mighty Mouse has decided to take the Mighty out of it’s functions. The roller ball will no longer scroll down! Everything else works fine with the thing, scrolling up and sideways. The buttons still function and it looks in good order, I can only guess it has jammed up with fluff or something. Yet can you clean it? Hell no, there does not appear to be any way of opening the...

There is something to be said for trying new ideas and keeping everything fresh. But there is also something to be said for actually sitting down and finishing something off; something like a WordPress theme. Exit the Black theme, enter the White version. OK so naming stuff was never really my strong point. I got a bit tired of a dark site, for most it really works for me I wanted something...

This morning on the way into work I was listening to news and there was an article that raised my eyebrow; much to the confusion of the other road users. A recent article stated: There are warnings that hundreds of thousands of people are at risk from losing their homes because they can’t keep up their mortgage payments. Debt-help groups say banks are lending five or six times applicants...

For those of you lucky enough to be subscribed to this site’s feed; I use the term lucky loosely there, will notice that the intervals between posts have been some what slow. You might also notice that my Flickr feed has been rather bare of late as well. There has been a very good reason for this; work, work and a bit more work! For those of you that don’t know I’m actually a fairly simple...

I finally received my birthday gift from Lucy. The new 2nd generation iPod Shuffle. First thoughts you get when you see the new Shuffle is “how small!?!” No matter how many pictures you see on the internet or read in books nothing really prepares you for just how small this thing really is. Last year I treated Lucy to a first generation Shuffle and was shocked as to the size of that but looking at...

It would appear that crazy motor tuners JRD ar planning on putting the knife to the VW Beetle. About time too! JRD are planning on kitting the Beetle out with the HPA 3.2 litre V6 lump, to give you an idea on the performance of this engine check this clip out of a HPA tuned RSI. Check out the full story over at Left Lane...
