  • iTunes: Moving To A New Computer

    Posted Feb 8 2009 by Oli in , with 4 Comments

    [iTunes Version 8.0.2.20 at the time of writing] I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve had to move all my files from one PC to another, either because I’m reinstalling Windows; I’ve purchased a new laptop, or any number of other reasons. Keeping …

  • Installing Vista from a Memory Card

    Posted Feb 5 2009 by Oli in , with 3 Comments

    I figured there must be an easier way … maybe I could format a USB drive or memory stick? Well, you can … but the thought dawned on me: If you can boot and install from those media, then why not a CF card in a card reader?

    I do love the way this country is brought to it’s knees, the economy on the brink of meltdown because such as huge portion of the workforce didn’t show up, hundreds of thousands of school children roaming the streets like a wintery retelling of Lord …

  • Streaming Barack

    Posted Jan 20 2009 by Oli in  with 4 Comments

    I thought this was worth a mention… Surprisingly enough, even though I work at a “Media” museum it’s surprisingly hard to get a TV picture anywhere in the building. Apparently it’s because we’re in a dip in the landscape, and can’t pick up terrestrial. That …

    Not much to say other than it’s good to finally see someone take charge of that country who doesn’t scare the bejeebers out of me. Good luck Barack!

    I’ve finally plucked up the courage to open up my dead iPod. It was working perfectly upto a few months ago, when it just refused to even start up. Its out of warranty, and I’ve always felt the cost of a repair would be better …
