WWDC’s on. Steve Jobs is on stage, and I forgot and went ahead and made an appointment for 7!!! Argh… so I’m now off out to F5 Engadget on my iPhone in a bar instead! :p.
Here’s hoping that whatever new iPhone they announce will be available in Apple stores to be cracked like old [...]

about this blog

My name is Chris Maddern and I'm a Computer Science student at The University of Bristol in the UK.
This blog is sort of an outlet for all of the thoughts that I have on a day-to-day basis that are too geeky for 'normal-outlet' in every day life. I hope you enjoy, and follow me on twitter (chrismaddern)

I have just accepted receipt of a second DELL moniter.
I suppose I’ve been living in the past for the last year with only one moniter on my desk but now, having two… I can see why people say that two is the way forward. The only problem is I don’t know how I’m going to [...]

Here’s the problem… I’m not sure whether to go for dual monitors, or one big one. I have a 22″ DELL at the moment, so it’s either get another 22″ and have [...]

Twitter can’t decide…

15 04 2008

Just a little humorous message that made me laugh today. I was updating my picture on Twitter (as some of you may have already noticed :)), and got the following error message:

As it turns out; it was too large. It just made me laugh that they didn’t put the few lines of code in to [...]

Two words: Editorial & Accountability.
There are hundreds of ‘blogs’ out there, 99% of which report the exact same stories, sometimes with a slightly different twist, or humour added, but rarely is there any editorial added; a dialogue that transcends the facts and places the pieces together to make sense of the story in context.

Microsoft Update pushes 10 updates this Tuesday

9 04 2008

0

I turned my computer on yesterday to find a barrage of updates from MS Update… you can see this both ways.
a. It’s great they maintain their products
b. How do they find so many updates each week; and also why do we wait (at worst) a week for an update that’s done?
To be fair, in a [...]

I didn’t mean to steal it!

Hmm… I googled ‘blogitech’ and realised that it’s the name of the official blog by Logitech. This blog has nothing to do with Logitech, but do you think I should keep the name, or change it?
Let me know what you all think….

Work away from home…

26 03 2008

For the next few weeks I’m staying with my family and because it was for more than a few days, and I have quite a lot of work to do, I figured that I’d bring all my hardware with me. Also, how could I not keep you all updated!?
I now have my rig set up [...]
