Courtesy of Mashable and StumbleUpon (having a vested interest), I have come across “Firefox Campus Edition,” which appears to have just been launched by the Mozilla team. As in just last week!
Go grab a download here.
The difference? It would appear to have StumbleUpon pre-installed to help while away those college hours. Second, it has […]
I’ve been reading a lot recently and even had an email or two as well as an uncle requesting my personal services with regards to data recovery. So it has caused me to think, can I add my own recipe for data recovery?
The caveats that apply here are:
This is all my opinion
This is what […]
Once, a long time ago, I was told by a well-meaning person that “everybody has a hero,” which was then followed up with the reasonable question of “who is yours?”
Well, I confess I’ve never had a hero.
I’ve never been into rock star adulation.
There’s nobody I can think of whose life or achievements I want to […]
I love helping people. I especially love helping people with technology problems - even those that have nothing (mostly) to do with IT. Even down to editing a friend’s wedding video.
I’m convinced I’m here on this earth to help. I also love to help people for free and 99.9 times out of 100 will refuse […]

I don’t […]
I note from El Reg that Apple is now selling refurbished iPhones.
I know there are several reasons why one might sell a unit as a refurb, but my first suspicion is always “what was wrong with it?” and my second thought is “how bad must they be to already have refurbs on offer?”
Or am […]
I trust most of you have heard about firefox by now even if you aren’t using it yet. However, what a lot of firefox users are unaware of is the extra functionality that it has above and beyond IE by use of addon ‘extensions‘.
Like most software these days there are support forums and firefox is […]
I used to joke in my last job that DNS was the root of all problems in an Active Directory domain. Whilst this is not true, 9 out of 10 times I said it I was right. DNS - most of us have probably heard of it and we may even know what the initials […]
I have an Xbox 360. My teenager has a PS2 and various handheld gaming platforms from down the ages. I bought the Xbox because it was going cheap at the time - a young lad wanted to exchange it for a parrot! Yes that’s right a parrot but who was I to argue?
Anyway, I got […]
This post is fast becoming a monster - am I saying too much or is this helping? I certainly don’t know but I trust that this content is helping some out there. Part 1 which dealt with guidelines is here and Part 2 which ended up covering just URL filtering is here.
So, what other areas […]
