This might be the first time you’ve heard of my blog, or you might have come here before, but either way… welcome! Why am I writing this message? Well it’s because I did a rather silly thing recently. I was updating some bits on the site and I accidently deleted my database of email subscribers. Sorry about that. Rather than wait for everyone to sign back up, I just added people from my address book that I thought might be in the slightest bit interested about these sorts of things.
If I’ve added you and you really don’t want to get an email from the site every now and again, I can completely understand that, just remove yourself from the list, or email me and I’ll do it.
Either way, I hope you’re well and see you soon.
Best
Matt

I really love Outlook, I use it for pretty much everything I do, but I couldn’t help agreeing with almost all of the 67 Reasons that Outlook Sucks.

Being the educated young chap that I am; I regularly read New Scientist (actually Santa brought it for me for Christmas). In the Christmas edition they held a competition with reference to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Given speculation that the switch-on might attract visitors from the future, they asked “what gifts might three such [...]

It’s no secret that I’m a food fan, but if you are too, then time to get down to Pizza Express and enjoy the PizzaExpress 2 for 1. I’ve done this before and it works out REALLY well. It’s also worh noting in the terms and conditions:
The most expensive main course will be free.
Which is [...]

As you well know, I’m a lover of all things digital (well not all things… I can’t stand QVC or digital answering systems) but it seems that there is someone who really understands how technology should work with us in this day and age.
Thanks to Tim Ferriss for the find. (His video is on there [...]

Wow! Quietly slid into the news feeds I have for today is news that Police can (and have been for a while) hack into home and work computers without a court order.
In other changes to the Force for 2009, Police will now be wearing hoodies and dishing out headbuts as punishments.

OK, so I always prided myself that I could tell the difference between my Phillips, Posi-drive and slotted screws… but turns out I didn’t know Jack. If you REALLY want to show off (and have some incredibly boring cocktail party trivia) it’s about time you found out when a Phillips is not a Phillips

Well I hope everyone was able to track Santa last night and that nobody woke up with too much of a headache! Santa made it to Knaphill and we woke up to lovely surprises, with stokings full of lovely presents.
We’re off to do the relative rounds today, and actually looking forward to it. I don’t [...]

Mark Shuttleworth’s post on user notifcations (this time in Ubuntu) is worthy of note for a number of reasons, most notably:
Our hypothesis is that the existence of ANY action creates a weighty obligation to act, or to THINK ABOUT ACTING. That make notifications turn from play into work. That makes them heavy responsibilities. That makes [...]
