Never knew there was a maximum number of times for activating Microsoft products so I was surprised it wouldn't let me activate over the internet this time after I upgraded my PC and was re-installing it. I was thinking to myself, "Why did I buy this when I can't freely install it on my own machine?" I usually like to clean up my PC now and...
Lets take a look at how my blog's been doing over the years since I first began it with a free Blogger account. It's shifted between various places since then and it's a pity I don't have screenshots that go that far back. According to Statcounter's statistics, the number of unique visitors has pretty much tripled since last year while...
Built this machine just before the new year. My graphics card have been acting up for a while now - It's been overheating and causing artefacts on the screen. Since I've been wanting to try out some of the latest PC games I decided to have a look for a new AGP card again, something better than my Radeon 9800XT. The best I can find with this...
Akemashite omedetou gozaimasu! I'd like to have one of those Kadomatsus sitting in the house just now! So has anyone thought of their New Year resolutions yet? I haven't but, one will probably be spending less because I've spent too much on hardware this year and even imported a figure! Should save up more so I can visit some other places...
Been having problems playing back MP4 H.264 encoded videos for some time now on my old 3GHz Athlon PC. Even dropping frames don't seem to help much. The 720p videos still end up lagging so, not wanting to upgrade the entire PC, I was thinking of purchasing a more recent graphics cards that included HD video acceleration to give the system...
Decided to take some photos of the Christmas festivities while out in town. Most of the ones you find here were taken over the weekend but because some of them didn't turn out so well, I had to use others I took earlier in the month.
Prince's Square
Located on Buchanan Street, Prince's Square is quite an exquisite place. I can't remember...
Damn. Why would anyone want to hack a good retailer like Animaxis? Hope the damage isn't too great. I used to buy all my GetBackers Manga from them and the packages always arrived fast, clean and well packed unlike UPS. Then again, they do only offer EMS postage which is pretty expensive on its own. Not sure when I'll be putting in another...
Been meaning to put up these photos ever since I got back from London where Makoto Shinkai appeared for a live interview at BFI. I had decided we would go down by an overnight train and also went for the London Pass so that we could do a bit of sight seeing while we were there. The pack includes a map, guide book, a travel pass for getting around...
I'm kind of running out of room to store the new stuff I buy so I decided to do a bit of clearing out. There's so much stuff I won't be using again in the future again. Just clogging up my room. As the saying goes - "If the old doesn't go, the new doesn't come." Look at all these cover discs I've accumulated from magazines over the years!
At the...
Took these photos around Glasgow University one night about two weeks ago. There was supposed to be an employer's presentation on there but it was cancelled so having set out time already, I decided to go along to the area anyway to test out how well my camera fairs in dimly lit outdoor conditions. Outside the main university building...
