Vista LPR printing
Last updated on July 6th, 2015 at 03:12 pm Thanks to the Delphi Geek’s post When Vista Doesn’t Print I finally got Vista to print to my multiport print server a D-Link DP 300U. Earlier versions of Windows worked by just adding a local port. Windows Vista allows you to do it just like always,…

Kids these days
Last updated on July 6th, 2015 at 03:15 pm My 14 year-old daughter came home from school today and was raging against “the government”. I was so proud of her standing up to “the man”. Now that’s a strange reaction – as a kid I was totally neo-conservative. Digging for the details, because indignant 14…

Vista Home Basic is not good
Last updated on July 6th, 2015 at 03:13 pm I’m using a new budget laptop at the moment. It’s a Compaq c700 (actually a c763TU) that will eventually go to my kids, so I thought I’d checkout what Vista Home Basic is like. On a laptop it makes no sense! Laptops move from location to…

OpenStreetMap.org Free as in Speach Street Maps
Last updated on July 4th, 2015 at 12:03 pmOpenStreetMap is a project aimed squarely at creating and providing free geographic data such as street maps to anyone who wants them. The project was started because most maps you think of as free actually have legal or technical restrictions on their use, holding back people from…

Go see Juno
Last updated on July 4th, 2015 at 11:45 am We saw a preview of Juno tonight. It opens in Australia on 17 January 2008. Go see it, it?s the best film of the year. It?s as good as Little Miss Sunshine, American Beauty, Election, The Breakfast Club – I can go on. It captures a…

27 Dresses short review
Last updated on July 30th, 2018 at 06:08 pm We saw a preview of 27 Dresses thanks to 20th Century Fox and Metro Magazine – since 1968 Australia’s oldest, continuously published film and media magazine. I’ve managed to somehow overwrite the original review – how frustrating. I like a good romantic comedy. Most of my…
