The online playground of a digital cowboy and consummate athlete.
Over the last few days I’ve slowly been growing more and more found of Google Desktop. I was messing about with the work web site last week and generating sitemaps and trying the Beta version of Google’s sitemap features when I thought I might as well give the Desktop a crack. The installation was fine and set up a breeze, the biggest down fall was the indexing of my computer. The indexing is...

If you can’t decide which media to support; HD-DVD or Blu-Ray why not do the next best thing and just offer external drives. At present the Blu-Ray/HD-DVD argument is a bit like the old VHS/Betamax problem. They are both good systems but in the end only one will survive commercially and at present no one knows which.
