PayPal – no protection after 45 days!

25/06/2010 – 19:31

In the EU everything electrical comes with a two year warranty. I bought an MSF receiver module on eBay. It arrived from overseas and it took me a couple of weeks to get around to testing it when I realised it did not work. I opened a PayPal dispute and they closed it because it […]

Bliss Box violating my copyright, GPL and more

13/05/2010 – 17:26

I just spotted this: http://spawnlinux.dyndns.org/Bliss-Box/technical.html It violates my copyright on some of the images such as the schematic and connector diagrams. It also violates the GPL by using V-USB and not publishing the relevant code. Chances are it probably uses some of my GPL’ed code, and the author admitted that it is based off some […]

New Have Your Say forum is rubbish

07/03/2010 – 11:24

The BBC changed HYS. It is just a blog now with moderated comments. On the one hand it’s good that the BNP can’t use it for propaganda so easily, but the lack of structure means you have no chance of being read unless you post in the first minute of the debate. The BBC seems […]

MS Browser Ballot fails

24/02/2010 – 15:06

Just got the first XP machine with the Browser Ballot update on it. I clicked “next” and IE8 came up with a window asking me to choose my settings. I closed it and selected Firefox from the available options. Internet Explorer opened and downloaded Firefox. I installed it and the browser ballot window was still […]

Google Tasks

13/02/2010 – 23:49

I have been using Google Tasks to make to-do lists and am finding it really useful. The interface is quite basic. You can add tasks and indent them to give it a bit of basic structure. It gives you multiple lists which at first seemed a bit cumbersome; I’d like to see an overview of […]

Update to Thunderbird userContent.css

05/02/2010 – 19:03

My custom userContent.css has been updated. I found a fix for the few remaining stupid HTML mails that failed to display correctly due to using “font: inherit” which picks up the <body>’s text colour (off-white) which is unreadable against the white background. I’m still not entirely sure why the <body>’s font colour is being inherited […]

Thunderbird config

20/01/2010 – 18:32

I finally made the switch to Thunderbird. The Bat is okay but for some reason image loading in emails is really, really, really slow. There are many other minor issues… Although Thunderbird has it’s fair share too. To make it even halfway usable you need a long list of extensions, some of them experimental. SmartTemplate […]

No more Wikipedia editing

08/12/2009 – 18:31

I have decided to give up editing Wikipedia. Stupidity, American-centric ideas and the ability of people with too much time on their hands to enforce their personal preferences has not only driven a lot of good editors away, but it has also done a lot of damage to the content too. If you compare the […]

BNP vs. BBC HYS forums – BNP loosing?

13/11/2009 – 00:03

In the last few days posts mentioning the BNP seem to have dried up. While this is definitely a good thing, I wonder exactly why it is happening… I’d like to think that it’s the BBC taking notice of my complaints and doing something about them. However, I have a feeling that there may be […]

eBay is broken

15/09/2009 – 18:57

The idiots at eBay have done it again. They managed to break the auction pages: Nice one. You broke the most important page on your site.
