The Nikkai Barebones Digital TV Recorder (PVR)

Sunday, December 21st, 2008

Yesterday, I finally decided to get a digital Freeview box, not only because of Christmas, and all the great programming associated with it, but also due to the impending UK Digital Switchover, and that, despite living in Central London, the analog TV signal to my apartment is pretty dreadful.

Apple’s Credit Crunch Christmas

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

Based on the email marketing I just received from Apple, I don’t think anyone told them that the world economy is in crisis.

Ambrosia Software’s Snapz Pro X is the perfect tool and enhancement to Apple’s Mac OSX built-in finder screen capture functions.

Recently, whilst having to hard reset my Sony-Ericsson mobile phone - a w850i in fact - I have to quickly find a way to backup my sim and mobile contacts to my Apple, Mac OSX based machine to safeguard against their loss during the full restore.

Del.icio.us has been my networked repository for links and web-based stuff I’d like to flag for some time now, but I recently took part in the Evernote beta and am moving ship.
