I'm contemplating bringing in a Roku from the U.S, can anyone tell ... Full story

This week, I'm trialling a new desktop blogging client called Bilbo. A KDE application for Linux it works much in the same way as Windows Live Writer, although image manipulation / positioning was much easier in WLW. However I would have to say, if your looking for a WYSIWYG blog client for Linux, Bilbo Blogger might just fulfill your needs. Well, school holidays are technically over. ... Full story

I really can't ask for a better Autumn day, we have wall to wall blue sky and a very light breeze which is not cold. It's got to be a balmy 18-19 degrees out side.

A bit of a rough start to this weeks show, which I appologise for. I was a little nervous about this being the first recording being done entirely on ... Full story

Been a busy week this week. I’ve been testing Ubuntu Linux on a USB pen drive on my studio systems in order to test everything. I’m moving the Studio systems away from Windows XP and going full time with Ubuntu on dual booted systems. I have to say, I am impressed with the newer versions of Ubuntu Linux and am excited to be moving off proprietary ... Full story

Yes, there are only 2 days left of Summer here in New Zealand. Been pretty fortunate the last few days have been wall to wall blue sky. Now this is what summer is all about. Today I ask for your opinion on an idea I’ve had regarding a new podcast channel on XTN. I would love to hear your thoughts. It’s still in the planning stages ... Full story

Had an unfortunate mishap with the car last Sunday, turns out we  broke a rocker. Not sure how we managed that but will be with out a car for a few weeks I think.
