I don’t have enough space in my bedroom for a PC (and I can’t do with the temptation!) so what do I do for music en mi dormitorio? Ok lets look at what I do have: 1. PDA (HP iPaq rx3715 wireless enabled, 2GB SD) 2. iPod (4th Gen 40GB) 3. W810i Walkman phone (built in radio, 2x512MB Memory Stick Duo) So I’d be listening to music mainly on my HP Bluetooth headphones with my iPaq, or with earphones...

Uhm for all those using those FCKGW versions of Windows – RUN! Haha only joking, but you may want to watch out for this. EDIT 3rd July 06 Haha, title edited to ‘M$ FAIL to Strike Back! From that you can probably work out what happened. No one was having it, sorry this topic really amuses me for some reason (i.e. the ideologies behind this ridiculous idea).

Okay this is my last proper post before the exams (unless I write another ). Thought I’d talk about some computer thing so I warn you now! If you don’t understand something the best thing to do is just put the name at the end of a wikipedia url for example bios: http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS will be the url for the explanation of a BIOS. Day 1 Dad comes home with a PC he’d bought for work a while ago and wants a general service (new Hard Disk, format and install OS and applications etc). I take a look at it and I’m like hold up, this is better then our my PC. He isn’t...

I have been writing about the HijriDate service over at YSE for a while now, and we have reached a milestone in our development which is soon to be released publicly – the HijriDate Wizard.
