Auzentech HDMI X-Tension First Card To Support HDMI 1.3 And Dolby TrueHD

I’ve been beating myself up a bit this week as I thought I’d wasted my money on a Auzentech Prelude 7.1 videocard in my new media center PC, as it wouldn’t help me play the new HD audio formats like Doly TrueHD and DTS HD, that offer superior sound quality over older Dolby formats.
However, after [...]

Does Spam Still Bother You?

I receive a ridiculous amount of spam email because I own a few domains and all email comes into one box.  OIonly realised today just how much I receive when a colleague who was looking over my shoulder saw that I had 7,225 spam emails in my inbox.  When I explained to him that this [...]

Forbes Blog Network To Start April 15th

I got an email this morning from my Forbes account manager saying that paying test banners are due to start on April 15th.
I’m quite excited about the potential of the Forbes network, as if the $10-20 Gross CPMs do materialise, then it will nearly double this site’s overall earnings:

Windows 7 News Relaunched!!

Just over a year ago I purchased windows7news.com. My long-term plan was to start working on the site now in advance of the expected launch of Windows 7 in 2010, so that by then I would have cornered the market…
Well, it didn’t work out that way I didn’t have the time to put my [...]

2000 Links Added To The Connected Internet Directory

I started the free Connected Internet Directory on a whim about 12 months ago to try and generate more reciprocal links, although I stopped selling links and requiring reciprocal links once Google got mean a few months ago.
Changing these requirements seems to have paid off as last week, the 2,000 link was added to the [...]

Updated To WordPress 2.5 With One Hiccup

I’ve just updated my blog and other blogs that I manage for friends to WordPress 2.5.  It all went really well, except for one hiccup on Connected Internet where my permalinks weren’t redirecting properly.  All in all though, updating to WordPress 2.5 has been one of the smoothest WordPress updates I’ve had so far.

New PC And Media Center Spec

I pulled forward yesterday building a new media center, because my main PC died.  I’m moving into a new flat soon with a bigger ‘office’ that I’m also going to use a games room, hence the need for a second media center PC to go with my current media center PC in the front room.

Now My Main PC Has Died As Well!

I’m really not having a good time with my PCs at the moment.  Last week my Windows Home Server died, taking with it a lot of my music and photos. Now my main PC has died and won’t boot into Windows.  I don’t know why all my bits and bobs are all [...]

I haven’t written a lot of posts this week as I’ve spent most of the week trying to recover files from one of the hard drives in my Windows Home Server that has stopped working.  I have several disks in my WHS machine, and if any of the other drives had failed I wouldn’t have [...]
