  • Apple Magic Mouse keeps disconnecting [SOLVED]

    I’ve raged a lot on my networks about how crap my Apple Magic Mouse battery life has been and how it keeps constantly disconnecting. I would get constant disconnects and I have done research and found one suggesting that the battery contacts were getting bumped so I jammed a piece of paper in there and…

  • Backup.. Now!

    When was the last time you backed up your music, photos, documents, contacts, email or personal data? If the answer is never or I don’t know then you should probably read this. Over the years I have met the tragic feeling you get when you realise the files are fucking gone. I’ve had this from…

  • Instagram For WordPress

    As you can see in my sidebar I’ve got photos from my Instagr.am feed. Instagram is a cool little app for the iPhone that lets you throw some effects over your photos and share them. You can follow your friends and the likes. I wanted to get this on my site and as I’m using WordPress…

  • Browser Kiosk Mode in OS X

    Over the years supporting Apple’s OS X the question has come up at least a couple of times a year. How do I enable browser kiosk mode in my browser? There have been several solutions over the years the first I came across was the saft plugin for safari. This is a paid plugin and five…

  • Zombies!

    So I’ve been playing quite a bit of Call of Duty:MW2 & Black Ops over the last year or so. I finished both single player modes and then proceeded to play the living shit out of the online game going prestige a couple of times on both. With Black Ops there is a Zombie game…

  • My New Time Vampire – Fallout: New Vegas

    I finally got my hands on a copy of the latest release in the Fallout series, Fallout: New Vegas. This is one of the only game series that I’ve actually played since the beginning at the times of release. I played Fallout 1 to death, I wasn’t really happy with Fallout 2. Fallout: Tactics was…

  • New Laptop Day: Redux

    After close to six weeks of hick up’s and problems with my new Macbook Pro the Apple store at Chermside has given me a new unit. So today I get to spend the next umpteen hours setting everything up again. I’m not going to use Apple’s Migration Assistant but instead use a sync tool to…

  • Data Recovery: Part One

    I’ve been collecting digital media files ever since online storage became cheaper than burning them to DVD. The shelf life is longer and I have better chances of knowing where the hell my files are. Well shelf life should be better, if you actually have a decent setup, which I’ve learned over time is something…

  • New Website

    After more than 20 redesigns and design tweaks I am finally launching my own personal site. I’ve had a lot of people ask me about a range of topics but I’ve not had any central location to answer. I get some of the same questions so I’m hoping to use my site as somewhere that…
