Help, my Dell Precision is melting!!!
Sure, I had noticed it before but not really noticed just how hot the underside of my Dell Precision M65 was getting during use. This evening after recieving near 3rd degree burns on my legs after a relatively short session I thought enough was enough. Surely this cannot be normal?
A quick monitor of the CPU Core temperature reported it running at 89C – ouch, no wonder the top of my thighs felt...
Understanding Direct Mail Impact and ROI Whitepaper
I recently was pointed towards some very useful whitepaper hosted by one of our customer in Auston, Texas. QuantumDigital.
One whitepaper that caught my attention was one entitled, “Understanding Direct Mail Impact and ROI” and contains some interesting facts and figures as well as some common sense approach to implementing successful direct mail and integrated campaigns.

Does no-one want my money!
In today’s economic climate when we are being urged to go out and spend – and highstreet big-names are closing everyday; you would think that if you walked into a shop with a handful of cash then you would be greeted with a “hello”, “why of course”, “thanks” and “pleasure doing business with you” …. but alas it seems that’s too...
MythTV.org gets a facelift … is it just that though?

Welcome to my new abode!
I figured that after getting stressed about how iBlogger was handling my edits and some of the confusion and lack of control that I had, it was time that I tried to do things properly. So I created my own space on the net so here we go. Please feel free to leave any comments or to chip in at any point.
Be warned!
This is what can potentially happen when you leave a 3 year old daughter in a particularly bad mood in a room with your laptop for just 1 minute!!!
The joys of eBay some google searches and a screwdriver later everything is well again!
The History of the Internet
I stumbled upon this today – which was quite interesting, certainly when you take for granted the Internet as it is today – and where is all started from. Whatever, there is no getting away from all those acronyms whichever way you try….

Amazon final launches a management console for AWS.
Ever since Amazon launched their AWS services to the public I have been a great supporter – understanding that this will be one of those technologies that reshapes the way that many individuals and business conduct business online.
However getting things to work in the ‘cloud’ is not a trival task for the uninitiated – but once you have it working; it works.
The introductioin...
Dave is a 30-something year old technologist and professional working and living in the UK. Ever since he first sat down at a computer keyboard back in the early ‘80s he has been hooked on technology – good and proper! Now-a-days he works within the software business with a fast paced organisation evangelising how technology can help save us all time, and make us money! Dave’s wife and 2 kids tend not to share this enthusiasm and believes that he is just playing!
