message query for software

I must have something more interesting to write about than php?

Um, no, perhaps not.I got a new hard drive at last, after all the problems I had with the ibook and having to send it back, I didn't rush into getting another backup job, but I saw a bargain at Maplin Seagate 500GB FreeAgent, and it seems to be worki...

Wedding video and new jeans

Had a slightly rum Saturday night out but then a lovely Sunday afternoon to follow. Felt a bit queasy on Saturday so although we went out to Folkestone in the day, and had lunch at The Whole World Cafe (felty queasy before we went there, certainly no...

RE: wg111 (wifi) + ubuntu (linux) still not playing nicely

Cheers, I am all up and running now too. Wifi is too slow to use the box as a backup device as I intended, and ubuntu hangs when I'm transferring large volumes of data, a problem I've seen other people have when googling too... ah well, it was free h...

RE: Photoshop Express

Flickr already does have loads of photo editing software - they did a deal with Piknik late last year and they offer far more than Photoshop Express (in my view). Photoshop Express is just cashing in on the Photoshop brand, trying to pull consumers ...

Photoshop Express

Free online photoshop? More like a rival to Flickr really, host your pictures and do simple editing of them. Guessing most people use photoshop for more heavy-duty monkey business that Potatoshop Express won't do. I use GIMP (though not very often an...

Ever feel lacking in skills?

I do, all my skills are in software, if the power went off tomorrow I'd be SUNK! I wish I had more hardware skills, not just computer hardware, but general mechanics and making and fixing things. Here's an interesting article along those lines from w...

Been quiet for a few days

No I've not been out on the larry-large every day over christmas, been a bit under the weather actually, though that's not what's kept me off the computer. When I'm not at work and Clare's home too I never get to sit in front of the computer, she's p...

RE: COOL!

Very cleverly done that - any idea what software you need?

well, er...

it actually doesn't start until Sunday evening. And by start I mean a great big poncey gala dinner. My boss is quite cool, he suggested going tomorrow so we can have Saturday night out in Lyon. On the company.Yeah, I'm not doing anything musically. I...

Yes it does

The camera itslf has a web server built in, so you just need to connect it up to your router and you're away, in theory.My camera is a Linksys WVC54G and they don't make it any more. I'd not recommend this one anyway as connecting to it with anything...

Technology, and how it cancels itself out

Bah, got my wireless camera working in the house at last, for the first time since we went over to BT HomeHub and all the settings changed, and what happens the very same day? The IPOD stopped working. I suspect Apple monitor the blog and heard about...

Clarkes of New York

No connection as far as I can see, but I'm republishing this mail that I keep getting sent here, in case it's of any interest to anyone. Looks like some automated text from some family tree software to me.My name is James A. Clarke. I am a fourth gen...

How can I rotate an AVI then?

I have a video here, how can I rotate it 90 degrees anti clockwise? Kosso says "not easy", hmm...UPDATE: Kosso also says use MPlayer. I think that's some software I was after before, I can use it to automatically grab video off my wireless camera, ma...

Beer: not bad

My homebrew was not bad at all, not 100% clear, but brown and smelled and tasted of beer, so can't complain. Was a little bit malty for my taste, but I can fis that when I start on a proper recipe and really mess things up.All in all had a very nice ...

google you have messed up

Every search at the moment is assuming I am a virus-mongous spam robot! This is not good!We're sorry...... but your query looks similar to automated requests from a computer virus or spyware application. To protect our users, we can't process your re...

Return of the IPAQ

Since bringing my IPAQ back to life, I've been trying to load it up with content, looking for podcast type software to populate it with free contentdel.icio.us avi feed, I wonder has someone already hacked together a youtube feed with attachments? Lo...

Blog alerts

Google blog search has either just had some kind of upgrade, or it's only just discovered my sites; I'm suddenly getting dialy email alerts with all my posts in. This is GOOD, I've been subscribing to a Folkestone alert for a year or so, getting upda...

Lost

Hmm, I wrote a post earlier about how Lost is back, and it vanished... think I tracked it down to a typo in the new object oriented rewrite of this blog software. Let's see!Yep that seems to have done it... While waiting for Lost to miraculously appe...

Oh dear what's happened to the style then?

Been playing with PhpGedView while I had some time to play with PHP (which might help me with work) and genealogy things(which probably won't). It's "skinnable", but only sort of, it needs some hacking to integrate it in this site, and in the process...

The tool that came with it?

Is there something I can download to do this for free? That would be GREAT! Can you post me links or email me software or something please? Cheers!

I've done a bit of video stuff

Not used TV tuner cards so can't comment on that. I wouldn't use the aerial lead anyway, all that RF conversion at either end makes for messy pictures. Never managed to get the scart -> s-video input working on my VC100. I get a picture, but it's in...

Thankyou for struggling on with that

I'll have a look at the error messages, what it meant to say was "you're already registered with that address, click here for a reminder instead". My Dad had the same trouble, but he gave up... it's annoying to have to do any of this crap at all, may...

Baby baby, where did our weekend go?

Aciton packed weekend, yet again quite literally TWO daytime trips out of the house that were not just to the shop or the pub, what is going on? We had such a full weekend that I had just about no time for larking about on the computer or even sittin...

Another action packed weekender

The new computer est arriv�! Had no time to play with it yet as it's been such a busy weekend, and so had no time to get pictures off the camera yet, so my weekend diarisation and explanation is without illustration so far, sorry (see pictures by my ...

RE: I think it's not cheap

naw, youd be right there. We had a couple of the flash G5 workstations at my previous works. Actually we have a couple of hundred at the new place. any way. hardware for them is not cheap, and neither is software. There is a fair bit of open source a...

I think it's not cheap

AND I think there might be less freeware / open source type stuff out there, maybe I'm wrong there though. There would have been in the old days, but now it's all unix under the hood, who knows. Nic P surfed on by earlier to say that you do have to b...

RE: Summer's here!

These little macs are the business - we have a few at work - is software dear though? Or does a load come for free?

Mobile game reviews

Might do some work for a Mobile gaming company, not a company that actually makes mobile games, but a company that has a site that writes mobile game reviews and has mobile phone game news and things. Not much of a mobile gamer myself and might not e...

Don't take your love to town

Why is this ruby script getting links to it? Is it all people like me who can't believe it's getting links to it and so they're linking to it? Am I missing something here? Is it people who are too young to have heard of shell scripts and the like? I ...

Ticket to Rye

we are going to Rye on Saturday, for an afternoon / evening, a look round, drinks, dinner and that... Will make a nice change, and we're going by train, so can relax (ie get boozed up). On the way back because of the way the trains work out we either...
