Vistaprint update

13/02/2010 – 23:40

Vistaprint got back to me. They refunded the job and have offered to do another batch for free!
I am pretty impressed by this. The order was for about £10 and I’m sure most places would just write it off (hi Weycrest). They  have requested samples from the bad batches and samples of how the colour [...]

Second response from the BBC re BNP hijack

10/02/2010 – 22:44

Thanks for your further e-mail.

Please accept our apologies for the delay in replying.

We’ve raised your concerns with those responsible for managing the Have
Your Say board.

They recognise the board is open to abuse and there are other [...]

Mitsubishi Colt ClearTec long term review

11/12/2009 – 23:14

When I was looking at buying a car this year I couldn’t find many blogs or forums with reviews from owners, so I am doing my bit to correct that :)
I decided to look at the Mitsubishi Colt after reading some magazine reviews and checking various web sites. I was lucky enough to have a [...]

61cm/24″ monitors are not quite as useful as they appear on paper

28/11/2009 – 18:11

61cm (24″) at 1920×1200 actually seems to be a somewhat less than ideal resolution now I have been living with it for a couple of years.
In theory you can have two full size A4 pages on screen, but in practice you can’t because toolbars and window borders take up some space.
Half the screen is 960 [...]

Life on Mars Bluray review

08/09/2009 – 23:51

I was looking forward to the high-defintion release of Life on Mars, but have been let down.
The Bluray has only slightly better picture quality than the DVD. It’s not even as good as downloaded 720p, but I suppose it’s the best you can expect given that it was shot on 16mm and edited digitally with [...]

Opt your web site out of Phorm / WebWise

21/04/2009 – 20:32

Phorm is being rolled out so webmasters need to opt out as soon as possible, or face having their visitors monitored. Imagine someone watching everything a visitor to your site does and then selling that information to other companies.
To opt out, don’t bother with the form on their web site as they ignore it, just [...]

Long haul flight experiences and tips

03/04/2009 – 10:34

I got back from Japan on Tuesday, after a 12+ hour flight on Virgin Atlantic.
Previously I have flown with KLM and JAL to/from Japan. I couldn’t really recommend KLM, because while the service was okay you can’t go direct from the UK with them, making your trip take 16 hours or more. JAL are by [...]

Delete .NET 3.5 add-on from Firefox

29/01/2009 – 17:56

The ass-hats at Microsoft decided to make the recent .NET 3.5 update silently install an add-on (plugin) in Firefox. No option to not install, and no option to uninstall in Firefox or anywhere else.
Luckily it’s easy to remove:
1. Regedit
2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Firefox\extensions
3. Delete {20a82645-c095-46ed-80e3-08825760534b}
4. Restart Firefox
Bastards.

One more on Phorm

11/03/2008 – 13:34

One more interesting post on how evil Phorm really is. Looks like there is no escape, and best of all if the Phorm servers go down it breaks your internet connection. This might actually be Phorm’s undoing – if browsing speeds plummet as everything has to go through their hardware, customers who don’t even know [...]
