The next best thing to an iPhone?
Wednesday, December 19th, 2007For sometime I’ve been thinking about getting a smart phone. Mainly so I can read emails while out of the office, record my time spent at clients, get my todo list in order and then synchronise it all back with Outlook.
I was very tempted by the iPhone, but we use Vodafone network and the iPhone […]
Printers of the future
Wednesday, September 12th, 2007
Some 25 years ago the first commercial laser printer cost $17,000. Today you can pick up a laser printer for as little as $200. So what would the same money today buy you?
Do you you remember the first computer printer you used? More than likely it was black and white dot matrix printer […]
12 Ways to backup your data
Wednesday, August 8th, 2007Everyone knows backing up your documents and files is something we should do on a regular basis, but quite often this task gets pushed to the bottom of the todo list.

Jeff Barr of Amazon
Tuesday, July 24th, 2007
Yesterday evening I went along to Strathclyde University for a talk on Amazon’s new web services given by Jeff Barr a senior evangelist for Amazon Web Services. When you mention the word Amazon to people, most will either think of The Amazon Jungle or the hugely successful online book supplier. Myself included won’t realise that Amazon, the book supplier, is quietly making […]
Bootable CD to the rescue!
Monday, July 9th, 2007A couple of weeks ago I had some hard drive issues with a clients PC which stored the majority of their business data.

Tuesday, July 3rd, 2007This morning I felt a little left out having not posted anything on the iHype iPhone. So here are my five reasons why I won’t be purchasing one, well not just yet…
2 Megapixels Camera - My existing phone, a Samsung D600 has 2 megapixels and that’s 2 years old now. I have DSLR for serious picture […]
Trouble Shooting The Blue Screen of Death
Wednesday, June 27th, 2007
There are crashes and then there’s The Blue Screen of Death. You may of experienced your PC running slow or a program crashing, but in the Windows 95/98 days the system suddenly halting and restart was a regular occurrence.
Fortunately since Windows 2000 this has become less of a common occurrence, or so it seemed. Working late last night at a client’s office on […]

Thursday, June 7th, 2007 Image from The IT Managers Journal - Check out Jason’s blog
If you live in a city with similar architecture that of Edinburgh, i.e. walls thick enough to stop cannon balls (and wireless signals), offices split between two floors. Then you may of had issues with your wireless network. What’s more old buildings where never designed with network cable in mind, so it’s more […]
Windows Coffee Table 1.0
Wednesday, May 30th, 2007I don’t often report on new hardware technologies because I leave this to the big boy such as Engadget and Gizmodo, plus fancy new toys are very unlikely to help the average small business.
