I was recently asked by Carla at IdeasByNet if I’d take a look at a “Fridge Friend”. Since I’m always interested in new gadgets I was more than happy to take a look! The Fridge Friend allows you to record short video messages and has a magnet in the back so that it will easily
Buffalo Linkstation LS-WXL–Can’t Login

I remember 2011 like it was only last week
Ah…the obligatory end of year, start of year post! This time last year I was writing about how challenging 2010 had been. I’m pleased to report that on the whole 2011 didn’t throw up as many major problems as the previous year. We’ve settled quite nicely into our new house, Bryony’s hearing didn’t get any

The Long Overdue HP TouchPad (and tablet!) Post
It’s overdue as I’ve been in possession of a HP TouchPad for almost a month now but also I’ve wanted to write about tablets/slates/whatever for a while but I had so many different things to talk about the post jumped all over the place and I scrapped just about everything I’d written! So here’s my

When did you last have a real break?
This is a personal post – if you’re looking for something technical feel free to move along I wrote a post recently complaining of writers block. I wrote the post as a way of giving me a kick. It didn’t have the desired effect in the way I hoped it would but it did get
