Observations on the world and its inhabitants
Gadwin is a little known software developer that I’ve stayed with for the last 10 years or so. I’ve found there products to be quite user friendly, simple and easy to use. At left is a screenshot of their website taken with Gadwin Printscren Pro 5 (the latest version that was released recently). I had ...
Well, it’s no trick really. Defragging you computers hard drive (aka disk) is as important as sleep is to you. In fact dreaming is analogous to defragging the brain! (that’s why weird stuff seems to pass off as dreams). No one really needs to understand what defragging, is in order to do it. Do people ...
I’m ashamed of myself because I’ve been caught out by a malware trap. I accidentally clicked some link that took me to a site that looked just like the reputable Adobe. A popup message said that my flashplayer may be out of date “click ok to update”, then I get to this link (don’t click): ...
This is my set-up (aka strategy) for planning for destinations when I travel by car (note I did not say train – but some of this I use if on the rare occasion I need to go by train). Use laptop for following (a few days or months before): Final destination – full address and ...
This is about lots of things – spending money, getting things done, getting it right and when I’ve gotten them wrong. I’ll focus on some things that I’ve purchased over the years.

This thing will watch your fav auctions like a hawk!! LOL. Timeleft3 may look complicated to some, but I assure you that it is very very easy. Look at ...
I like Skype. I dare say I was one of the first people in the world to try Skype (www.skype.com). Now, you reading this might think ‘everybody knows about skpe!’. Well no – not everybody knows about skype. Half of the people I know are clueless about it and aren’t even inclined to try it. ...
I like Google Calendar. The people who invented this really put a lot of thought behind it. It took me about a year to get using it regularly. I now wish I hadn’t taken that long. Here’s how it benefits me: I can store my agenda securely online. I can have several agendas, some that ...
It’s been something I wanted to write about for some time – the feeling of wholeness. Like sometimes one of your prised objects doesn’t work well and you simply feel ‘not whole’. It could be something simple like a wrist watch. Or it could be your dishwasher. Well in the last few weeks two things ...
The banner picture is of one of my favourite places. It was a peaceful time when I was on vacation in 2005, at an exotic location. I could sit back and look up at the heavens and think about nothing. Yeah nothing. It is great to think about nothing. I was on a small atoll ...
