Mac Mini

“Dear Mr Jobs, When I said “Your work here was done”, in my previous post about my iPhone, I may have been telling porkies, as I still had a Windows machine in the house, however you’ll be glad to know, that I’ve done the right thing, and replaced it with a Mac Mini. Sorry for the porkie, and I am now 100% Apple. Your ever faithful disciple Darren.” As you can probably tell from the above, I’ve replaced my last remaining Windows machine with a Mac Mini (Really ? No sh1t Sherlock). To be honest I’ve been toying with the … Continue reading Mac Mini

How to hide items on your Facebook news feed

ub3rg33k

Ok, just a quick blog post, but some people may find this useful . If you are like me and have a number of friends of facebook that play a lot of the facebook apps such as Farmville, Mafia Wars, Cafe World, etc and tend to hit the publish button every time they fire up the game, or what seems like every 30 seconds, your Facebook news feed, like mine can get a little crowded. You could un-friend them, but that’s not very friendly, and if they enjoy playing the games, and I’m sure they have other friends that may … Continue reading How to hide items on your Facebook news feed

M-Audio Fast Track Pro

Over the post 6 months or so, I’ve become heavly involved with recording audio for a number of projects we work on, over at Fictionshed. If you listen back to the earlier podcasts (Fictioncasts), you’ll here me say, that you don’t need any specialised equiptment to record your voice, and a standard PC, with cheap mic will do…..the rest of this post will be me eating my words. Due to getting a not the quality I wanted from the cheap headphone/mic combination, Tony kindly lent me a mixer and a couple of mics. This did improve the quality, however gave … Continue reading M-Audio Fast Track Pro

Doh, Ipod Touch broken

ub3rg33k

As mention in my post (Gear4 AirZone FM ‘Follow Me’ ), It seems my Ipod Touch can’t power external accessories. Spent an evening googling, reading forums, restoring the Ipod to defaults, Restored via ITunes, updated to version 2.2.1, but still no joy. Decided I’d have to goto the Mecca in Leicester (Apple store in HighCross), and seek guidance. The guy ran through what I’d already done, and booked me in with a techy, unfortunately I had the option of 5.30 on the day as it was early afternoon, this was no good, so booked in for this afternoon at 1pm. … Continue reading Doh, Ipod Touch broken

FAIL !

ub3rg33k

Well, due to having 8 days of constant drinking, myself and C thought it would be a good idea to have some time off the beer, so we would be “normal” for when we went back to work. As per my last post, we bought the “Where in the movies”, and decided if it only gets 4.5 out of 10, then the only try way to test it, would be to get drunk, lol ! As we seemed to still have 8 cans on Magners Cider in the outside fridge, we decided to get a 10 pack of Bud, and … Continue reading FAIL !

I have issues..I think

ub3rg33k

Well today I had Tony Hawks project 8 turn up in the post…the worrying thing is, I couldn’t remember ordering it ! Anyway, checked the invoice, and sure enough I’d ordered it from Amazon, from one of their Fleabay style used sections. So cool I thought, I’ll play on that today. When to town this morning to have my haircut, once done did the regulation “Call in at Game, and Gamestation” to check out the titles, and ended up buying You’re in the Movies, (you know the one with the webcam), so looks like I’m playing that tonight instead, however … Continue reading I have issues..I think
