Recently I discovered that I would have to move from a Cable TV/Broadband solution towards Satellite TV and ADSL. So the past few weeks I have been researching the different options available to me.
There is really only ONE satellite TV provider in the UK – Sky.
It seems the package that will suit my needs best will cost around £36 a month. For this price I finally get access to the sports package which will save endless trips to the pub during football-laden weekends (maybe). I’m happy to pay this, but there is a problem. You see recently they have announced a HD service “Sky HD“. Read the rest of this entry…

The Origami Project from Microsoft has hit web headlines in a massive way recently. Digg, for example, went into a hyper-sooper-hype mode with stories appearing on the homepage every few hours. People had so many questions. As did I.
- What is Origami?
- What will it look like?
- How much will it cost?
- Will it play Xbox Games?
- Will it finally be the iPod killer Microsoft have been touting?
Some cool looking mock ups were leaked, my favorite being this one:
“WOW!” I thought. A mini-tablet PC. Not much bigger than a PSP but running a fully blown version of Windows XP. Who wouldnt want that?
So I/we/the world waited and yesterday Microsoft announced the Origami in all its glory!! Read the rest of this entry…

After reading this article I wonder, did I rush into selecting PowWeb as my new webhost? I went with PowWeb because they were cheap, had been around a while and came recommended by a couple of hosting review sites.
I wont say I have had a particularly BAD experience with them, in fact they have been very reliable. However I find there Control Panel very frustrating and have had huge email problems over the past few weeks.
What I will say is, in a years time, chances are I will again be moving to a different host.
Of course this places me in danger of falling into the “Holy Grail” webhost syndrome. I could in theory find myself switching between one host and another (and another… and another… and another… ) every year until I eventually find one that I am comfortable with.
