I came across an interesting concept on Digital Lifestyles today. A london based company called En-Twyn has been able to integrate two ethernet ports into a standard power socket. It’s an interesting idea and one which I think would prove popular with many companies (offices/hotels etc). Clearly this kind of thing could be used in … Read more
This time next week I will be sitting on a plane heading towards the Big Apple. 10 of us are heading over for a week to New York (and 5 or 6 friends of friends will be over at the same time). It’s going to be a pretty wild week with so many people going … Read more
Yesterday, JKOnTheRun (great site!) reported that MobiTV is trying to shut down HowardForums because of links to copyrighted material being posted on the forum. Basically MobiTv does not protect their content and instead relies on it’s members not posting the url elsewhere…..which is clearly a very flawed assumption. Someone posted links on HowardForums and MobieTV … Read more

We were listing some of our shop items for sale today on eBay when I noticed what I would personally call a very unfair policy from eBay towards Google and it’s checkout users. I listed the item for sale and put PayPal as the only payment option but since we accept Google Checkout in our … Read more
A few days ago I wrote about my first experience with Secure Sockets Layer certificates. After a brief search on the net I chose Instant SSL. As I explained the other day, since we don’t have our PO box set up yet and since we are still operating from home it was going to be … Read more
After a few weeks of limbo due to our bank taking so long with delivering our visa cards, we have finally been able to move forward with our online shop (which I will post the details of in a week or so when it is completely ready). Yesterday was a very long day with me … Read more
Today I got my new Antec MX 1 sata hard drive enclosure delivered from Misco. I had considered the Coolermaser Xcraft 360 but after reading some reviews I opted for the MX 1. I have to admit it’s a very nice product and well worth the money (about £34). I have two old sata drives … Read more
