Want to volunteer?

Its nice when I get a chance to make a post thats not challenging innapropriate behaviour, and its also nice to take a break (of sorts) from the usual articles I write. Over on Twitter, I had the pleasure of meeting the Bullying UK charity, you can visit their website here: http://social.bullying.co.uk/ and make sure … Continue reading »

A response to Manan

Since Mr Hussain has taken to deleting posts he doesnt like (and notice how since he has prevented me from commenting his own comments have dried up) Manan gave a response to me that I think its only polite if I answer.  Since Mr Hussain has a censoring system (and Im a little loathed to … Continue reading »

WINE 1.1.24 – Lastest build tested.

We’ve covered WINE before, and in the age where even Microsoft appears to acknoledge the importance of XP mode in 7, it seems only fair that we cover what XP (and other Windows versions) binaries can be run within Linux. Firstly, for anyone that doesnt know, there WINE is a package that offers a replacement … Continue reading »

Coming up – The future of NZB?

I have been doing a little research after speaking with a supporter of Mr Hussain.  Theres an interesting point being brought up by him, that being Pakistan has a piracy problem.

MicroPirates, Censorship & Openbytes to be “ripped apart”?

Sunday has been rather interesting.   I hope you enjoy this light relief, tongue in cheek look at the silliness some will engage in whilst promoting a Microsoft cause.  Remember the girlfriend of a faithful MS poster coming here?  I can’t promise you anything as funny or tragic as that (it will be difficult to … Continue reading »

Too lazy to upgrade to 7?

I normally resist the urge.  One of my favorite Microsoft faithful posters has, IMO hit upon hard times.  It was well remembered the skill he had in making an incorrect statement in favor of a Microsoft product and then failing to answer any of the challenges that would be forthcoming.  He was a legend.  That … Continue reading »

A Week with Windows

Due to other (more important news) this article has been delayed and refers to my holiday in Poole which I took a few weeks ago. My holiday was booked, the family organized and everything was set for a week away in Poole.   Or was it?  Could Goblin drag himself away from the PC for … Continue reading »

IE 8 – To feed or not to feed?

In my opinion I have not seen anything more distasteful than the latest alleged tactic by Microsoft.  There will be no lengthy opinion or silly picture. Microsoft allegedly is donating eight meals to the hungry for every IE 8 download from June 10th until August 8th. Is this the new way Microsoft is going to … Continue reading »
