[ad name=”postsqrRight”]It seems even though email as a technology has been around for well over 50 years now (yes it REALLY is that old) people, and in the example below even companies, still don’t get how to use the BCC – or Blank Carbon Copy – header properly. The BCC header, as the name suggests…

BTOpenZone doesn’t like OpenDNS or YouTube. Silly BT.
[ad name=”postsqrRight”]As a geek with a laptop, who regularly spends at least 4/5hours a week sat in Starbucks blogging, tweeting and being a general geek. I often have to rely heavily on the Free WiFi services many places offer, one of the main ones being BTOpenZone. Now on Mondays I usually end up in Starbucks…
Swindon Starbucks, You suck.
So I decided I simply HAVE to do some work, as seem to have an infinite number of deadlines and all seem to be approaching like a heard of angry coyotes. My solution? Starbucks. I love nothing more than laptop and a Tall filtered coffee with unlimited refills, nothing better right?… Well no. Today I…
You do know what BRB means right?
BRB: the modern, hip and lazy way of saying Be Right Back. A phrase (or acronym of a phrase) to be used when you are happily talking to someone and just need to nip out or have to quickly do something and won’t be able to talk to them for a few minutes, perhaps you…

I thought this was incredible so naturally I spoke to one of the sales team on how they…
My Nan, a Laptop and an annoying sales man in Currys
So yesterday I had to take a train (because cars out of action) to Portsmouth to see my Nan as she’s just has broadband installed so needed to update her Antiquated old PC with an Ethernet card and run updates as well as buying her a nice little laptop. You know, to get her on the line. Now the…
Vision2learn suck.
Yes, I am sorry. This is a rant. Recently I was recommended a site Vision2learn.com and thought I would take a distance learning/online course to build up the CV and gain a useful qualification. Their website says about how courses are for 16+ etc so thought, great a free course! Apply online, got a huge…
OVH Technical Support is bad and worthless.
I run a small web hosting company, and work with multiple data centres and software suppliers etc to deliver my products, one of which is OVH. Been using a server with them for almost 4/5 months now and, while the server seems fine the technical support is terrible. A month or so ago i added an…
FAIL: YouTube Britains Got Talent Licensing.
I was checking out the shows on YouTube now to see if they had any others since i last looked, and i immediately see Britain’s got Talent… I live in Britain. This is a British show. Shown on British TV. Why the F#!? isn’t it available on YouTube in Britain… I mean come on! Are…
