USB Hub to brighten your day

by DenisL on November 7, 2008

Why don’t you ever have enough USB ports? It doesn’t seem to matter how many there are on your PC you need one more for something. Well now you can get a USB hub that serves not only this useful function, but also holds paper clips! Where will all this innovation end. It’s also a bit of a laugh.

Christmas is coming…

by DenisL on November 6, 2008

A little bit of frivolity doesn’t go amiss at this time of year, so why not brighten up that dull grey PC, and yourself, for a few days over the holiday season?

PowerTime week #37 status

September 12, 2008

No progress at all this week. I’ve had my nose to the grindstone all week. Next week I may be free from my commercial activities later in the week and then I will be full time on PowerTime for at least a fortnight. There are just two things currently stopping a full release:

November 14, 2007

I got home plugged my XBox 360 into my TV and inserted my newly purchased Half Life 2 game. I was a little surprised to see Half Life 2 then wander off and install a console software update.

My Next Generation Console Choice: XBox 360

November 6, 2007

I’ve made up my mind. I’ve got to go for the XBox 360. Anything else just wouldn’t be rational. Much as I would love to give Sony my money for a PS3 I can’t see a single reason to do so.
