I’m annoyed.
I’m more than annoyed actually, I’m f**king livid. Rather than re-type the whole story, let me share an email I just sent to the Sky Complaints department via their website:
Dear Sky,
I’m sure you get quite sick of people whining on a daily basis, so I’ll try and keep this brief. I upgraded my parents [...]

On an almost daily basis, I am deluged by phishing emails. GMail catches all of them; until today. I woke up to find an email from the United Nations in my inbox (from unitednationsfightingfraud-85@msn.com) – yeah, right.  Anyway, either I was one of the first recipients, or Google were asleep when that one came in, [...]

Yes, it’s illegal in this country. I know that. But, to be honest, I don’t care. I’m not doing it to make illegal copies or anything, I’m doing it because I want to have a great Home Cinema setup. So far I’ve ripped about 50 DVD’s that were lying around the house using DVD43 and [...]

In the quest for having my new home planned out long before I’ve even got the deposit together, let alone having actually found somewhere, I’ve stumbled across Apple Remote.

So anyway; cast your mind back to my earlier post when Mum asked me what I wanted. I did [...]

I was quite impressed anyway.

It’s fair to say that so far this year, my car has cost me an absolute fortune. January saw it requiring 2 new tyres, a new set of brake discs and pads at the front, a new battery and a full service, to the tune of £750 all in. Happy New Year.
It’s now come round [...]

Since my last post on the subject, SpinRite has done about all it can do on this poor excuse for a hard drive. It has managed to salvage an awful lot of what would have otherwise been damaged beyond recovery. There were so many borderline “is it a one or a zero?” sectors I got [...]

My mother just asked me what I wanted for my birthday and as you’ll know from an earlier post, I’m somewhat obsessed with backing up. The one thing missing from my backup strategy is an external RAID-protected hard drive so I said I’d be rather grateful if she could fill this gap. With a sly [...]
