When I first bought this laptop I found a piece of 1″ high aluminium extrusion and used this with a piece of neoprene to raise up the rear of the laptop so that it would be better for typing ergonomically. …
Internet Explorer 7 still has some issues… If you (accidently) close the Internet Explorer window, all your tabs close. And to make this worse, there is no facility to save the state of the standard tabs. Firefox does have the …
I am just waiting for some reports to finish running so that I can do some more programming… I could just disable the daily emailed reports, or have the reports run on another machine, but I have not got that …
One of my clients is moving back into his house today… I did the communications wiring in it after it was damaged by fire. I am not expecting to hear from him today, but you never can tell… I am …
Just after the last entry the PC got worse… Internet Explorer crashed as well as Outlook. Once these applications die you know that the computer needs to be restarted – it is just better that way. I did a small …
