So, I’m a little late to the blogsphere on this one, but then when am I not? I’ve read some pretty damning things about the iPad, it doesn’t have a SD card reader, it doesn’t have a camera, it has files and no file system, it doesn’t do Flash, and that the name suggests a type of adult nappy…
I thought that I’d look at these comments and generally give my views on the iPad and it’s hardware. Read the rest of this entry »

OK, so back in July I posted my praises of Google Reader and RSS technology. Today however, I’m not so sure. I’ve been without Internet for a couple of weeks, and look at my Google Reader:

I know, I know, making hot chocolate isn’t geeky, but Ive been wanting to try it for ages. I bought some 200g Bournville bars to try out a recipe. I basically made the recipe up, though looking at the internet now, it seems that it’s similar to others.
Ingredients include: Read the rest of this entry »

Faye has got a new phone, some up-to-date Nokia to replace her old 6200. Her 6230 still works apart, just the battery doesn’t hold a charge very well. Read the rest of this entry »

Well it’s been a while since I last posted here. Though it’d be right that I come back with tales of new desks, screens and computers!
So what’s new? I’ve left Camberley, worked for the MoD over the summer and am now back in Aber living with Faye (hopefully a film of the flat coming soon). Since being in Aber I have bought a new desk, a new chair (which is annoyingly not here), a pair of new monitors and a new shiney computer.
Let’s talk about the monitors to start off with, two 22″ things from Samsung (SyncMaster T220 apparently), here they are: Read the rest of this entry »

Do you have a photobucket account? Have you ever, for whatever reason, wanted to download a whole album or a page worth of photos and found it time consuming?
If so, here is a script that will allow you to bulk download: getpics.sh
As you can see, it isn’t the best quality script ever, but it does the job.
A word of warning, it connects to the internet once to see what page youve specified, plu as many time as you have photos.
To view a whole album (and this download a whole album) add “?start=all” (no quotes) to the end of your URL.
Requirements:
Bash
curl
Internet connection
A photobucket page that shows the “Direct Link” text box
