Ok, I caved… I created a Tumblr account today after seeing a colleague’s and a fellow Tweeter’s. I figured that since I rarely have the time (or the will-power) to write a full blog post here, that I would start a Tumblr blog so that I can start posting random musings (ones that don’t fit into...

Just a quick one today to talk about a service that many of you may not have heard of – Usenet. What the hell is Usenet I hear you cry? Well, back in the good old days when the word ‘internet’ wasn’t even recognized by most, a service was created called Usenet. Usenet was essentially the...

Well I got home at about 5.30pm yesterday and after a little preperation I began work (At around 6pm).

Well after some careful re-consideration of my original choice of components, thanks to the Overclock3D reviews and forums, I managed to bring my PC under budget! Meaning I don’t have to wait until next months wages for the sakes of needing an extra £200. I had originally planned to get an Asus Striker II Extreme 790i...
