EDIT: Eureka! Looks like its worked perfectly! Will keep an eye on things for a bit to see if anything catches fire though…

I spent most of yesterday afternoon over at a friends place rebuilding 3 machines for him.
First one was a vintage PC he got off of me years ago, a P3 with 256Mb of RAM. I took my ‘kit’ of install and software disks along with me, and after discovering that we were trying to boot [...]

Ok – the 100Gb Hard Drive in my laptop died the other day. Luckily I didnt have anything overly important on it, as it died badly.
I tried running spinrite on it, but even that was having drama, saying it was going to take a number of days to complete.

I’ve been listening to a lot of podcasts lately – ranging from technical/geeky ones, through to ones that are just basic discussions on technology. Most of them are from the US, but I’ve found 2 or 3 that are made here in Australia.

As some of you may know, my TV setup is all controlled by a PC (my old main PC – Pentium 4 2.8GHz, 1Gb RAM with various HDDs internally and attached via USB) running Vista Ultimate. I use the Media Centre software that comes with Vista, and control it all with a Microsoft Remote Control.

Category: Uncategorized | Comments
I just signed up to Pownce, which is a similar sort of thing to a Blog like this, but you only post relatively short messages, and it has the ability to network with friends and notify them of new messages you post accordingly.

Well, after playing around a hell of a lot more with this thing, I shall enlighten you all on some of the more technical aspects of what I’ve done here…
