Deployment Course Continues

OK – it’s Thursday, I’m hungover, and only another 1 and a half days before the weekend. The course is very very good. I have learnt lots about deployment and Win7, yet I know I won’t be allowed to use the methods and technology I now know about. My company will want the “quick” option […]

The Frankenstein Bell-End Continues…

I’m currently watching all of the easily-led geeks surrounding Frankenstein Bell-End, and they are watching a video of a space battle that FBE was in. It is tragically hilarious.

Tablets

The reason why Apple devices are so sought-after compared with Android devices is something I call “perceived value”. In short, I know that I can demand a good resale price for my Apple kit when I upgrade. I also know that the apps I purchase can be saved, both onto my PC and in my […]

Silent Success!

The thing about accomplishing anything in IT is that, generally, no-one gives a fuck. Even the most obscure, technically-challenging, time-consuming task will only earn a shrug and a half-assed “thanks” from the user or client – at best. Anyway, thanks to our extremely understanding software supplier, I was handed a temporary license to get my […]
