Now that I’ve got hibernation working again on my machine, I’ve turned my thoughts to making it more comfortable.
I’ve longed for a decent small keyboard for many spins round the sun now. It seems like a simple thing. Make a keyboard with no number pad with a bunch of keys on it suitable for a [...]
Annoyed by the inability to see more than 3GB with Windows 7 32 bit, I decided it was time to enter the world of 64 bits on my PC. I had to flip a chipset option to allow memory remapping through the northbridge controller. Having done that, my memory performance is no longer the bottle-neck [...]
Between barbecues and golfing this weekend, I took a few minutes to drop some new hardware into my criminally-neglected PC. It’s been some time since I’ve added any parts to it and I’d gotten the bug recently when prod and I started playing Dawn of War II. StarCraft II got released last week and, better [...]
Late last week I was griping about the poor trackpad performance on the Dell Mini 10 and decided to try to fix it. It was usable, but difficult and caused a lot of erroneous clicks and mouse-moves and was a bit like trying to use a Fisher Price toy to perform brain surgery. Clunky, imprecise, [...]

Out of the box, Cunchbang is a fairly minimalist desktop environment, using Openbox and Tint as the desktop and [...]
I said I wasn’t going to let this happen to me again, but dad-gum-it, I just couldn’t stay away. I like this mouse too much to leave it at the bottom of a bin. So when I upgraded to Snow Leopard this week, I figured there’d be problems. This was a surprise though.
The setting to [...]
Since installing Windows 7 I haven’t been able to put my PC to sleep either in hybrid mode or hibernate. So I did a little digging and found some useful tips on INTERNET.
If you put your computer to sleep in one of these modes and find it immediately wakes back up again, fans whirring, login-screen [...]
