I just received the latest Dell advert, they are offering a 22 inch monitor with 1680×1050 resolution for $499 including delivery! This is a great deal, I’ve got the same model of monitor at home (I paid $750 for it almost six months ago) and have been totally satisfied. The same monitor with a $499 […]

At this URL I found a mirror of the Geek Social Fallacies, as they seem difficult to find I decided to mirror them on my blog. Someone please let me know if there is an authoritative source I can point to instead. Five Geek Social Fallacies (Dec 2, 2003) Within the constellation of allied […] When looking through my Webalizer stats recently I noticed that *.search.live.com is transferring about four times as much data from my domain than *.google.com. This wouldn’t concern me if I saw some people being referred to my site from live.com, however I see almost none, while google.com is responsible for referring about half the traffic […] This article has some really interesting pictures of the Gigabyte motherboard and video card factory. Check it out!

He goes a little further than I did in my post and advocates buying dinner for developers as a way of thanking them for their work. I […] Apple has a series of funny commercials comparing the Macintosh with a PC running Windows. They are very well written and presented. I recommend viewing them for the amusement value (view them here – but you need Quicktime). Novell has produced a few short parodies of those adverts, they don’t have the same production quality […] On Tuesday my Thinkpad was taken for service to fix the problem described in this post. The problems I described were overheating, wear on the keyboard (from a minimum of 8 hours a day 7 days a week use) and a missing rubber foot on the base. The statement of work includes a replaced system-board, […] Recently I bought a HP DL385 Opteron server at auction. It has an Opteron 265 1.8GHz dual-core CPU and is designed for SFF (Small Form Factor) SAS disks. A friend told me that S-ATA disks would work in it and so would a faster Opteron CPU. I bought 3 S-ATA disks which work fine in […] My Thinkpad has started to run hot recently. If I do anything CPU intensive then it will heat up to >80C and then turn itself off. When idling it seems to stay at about 60C when the ambient temperature is about 24C. It used to not be like this, a couple of years ago I […] Leon Brooks linked to this article claiming that sound not electricity travels through nerves. When you put a moderate voltage through your body it will cause muscle action (try putting 1000V at low current between fingers of the same hand for safety). The original experiment that suggested that electricity is used involved applying a shock […] |
