To go along with my other posts on keeping your digital pictures safe and backing up your books / documents, here’s another post on backing up - but with a twist.
This time it’s a service that offers to scan in and digitise your precious memories stored on old style film stock. They’ll take your memories […]
I never went through this myself as I had grand plans to join the RAF at 16 as an apprentice electronics technician. I was amply qualified, I sailed through their tests but (as I later found out from a neighbour) I was only offered a job as a truck driver so that they could fulfil […]
As the title states - this is one of those sites that rates as being a total waste of time but immensely addictive and enjoyable. if you are looking to waste some time, then you could do worse than trying The Paper Plane Simulator.

I spotted that the long popular BlackICE firewall is closing its doors next week but it will be supported through to the end of September 2008. However, if you are a fan (I’ve lost faith in it over the last few years), then fear not as its new(ish) owner Sunbelt Software is offering registered users […]
A site I visit about once every other month or so has updated its leak-test results for the current crop of personal firewalls’.
