    Should Batman be banned?

    For books to films, a couple of films that are better than the books are Fight Club and Blade Runner (based on Do Androids dream of electric sheep).both books are good, but the films are better. Although, blade runner probably doesn't count because it takes the term "based on" to a new level.

    Vandalism in Oxford Gardens - Sunday 6th May 2012

    Just a quick note to the person that tore the wing mirror off my wife's Silver Honda Jazz parked just off Oxford Gardens. I can only assume that this was an act of drunken silliness late at night. If you are feeling any kind of remorse then an apology would be nice.

    Got an SSD - anything I should know?

    Mine cost just over £300, I am currently working on several largish projects for a client, just switching between projects in Visual Studio (and yes I am opening myself up to the MS abuse) used to take about 30-40 seconds. This time is now cut to between about 10 and 15 seconds. Add in the...

    Got an SSD - anything I should know?

    Had mine for 6 months now, as a freelancer in terms of time spent waiting for stuff to load/build it has saved me way more than it's cost already. I now just see it as a consumable item that will be replaced if it fails because the cost of not having it, is greater than the cost of having it...

    Got an SSD - anything I should know?

    The laptop itself is a three year old hp pavillion dv7 i think it is an ea5030 or some such. The kids are playing with it at the moment otherwise I would check and be sure. It is a 17" display with a full keyboard and numpad. A tad heavy to lug around but since buying it I have added the two...

    Local .net training courses?

    I made the switch about 8 years ago from asp/vb 6 to c# and asp.net. Though this past year I have been using the mvc3 framework with razor. Oh how things have changed. Razor is ridiculously easy once you wrap your head round it. I have seen ruby but never had cause to use it. To get back on...

    Got an SSD - anything I should know?

    Agred, I was lucky, when I bought my Laptop I hadn't realised that it had space for two internal drives. This has allowed me to have the 240gb Vertex II wight just the OS and dropbox on and a seperate Hybrid Drive for the second drive, this is a normal Platter drive combined with a small SSD...

    Got an SSD - anything I should know?

    I have a OCZ Vertex 2 and it rocks, I have a 3 year centrino 2 laptop that for everyday use is now as responsive as an i7. Windows installed an absolute breeze in about 15 minutes, from start to finish and now MS Word/Excel et al open as quick as notepad used to. As far as Windows is...
