Because of Their Perseverance and Consistency
These guys have been spamming my sports blog for nigh on 10 years now, with pretty much the exact same message year in, year out. (My thanks to Askimet for nuking 99.9% of their submissions.) I was bloody annoyed at first, but after a certain number of years, you have to admire certain spammers for […]
How to Take Screenshots on iOS, Android, Windows and MacOSX
I’ve needed to capture a screenshot – a picture of what’s on screen – on several systems recently. Normally I hit the “Print Screen” key – sometimes marked “PrtScr” – to copy the screenshot to the clipboard for pasting into Photoshop etc. Some of the systems I needed to take screengrabs on did not have […]

The Gathering Storm is book 12 of Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series, who passed away before he was able to finish the series. Sanderson […]

Right-click Pin to Taskbar has no effect. I can see the Tweetdeck application appear on Alt-Tab (and Win-Tab). When the Tweetdeck button is selected […]

@TheRealAmz They beat us well (maybe with their J3 team) so deserve to go on. Should beat Belvo unless they’re very good. in reply to TheRealAmz # @Kiowah Glad it was useful to you. I occasionally tweet geek/biz stuff off @WebsiteDoctor, but keep most of it here on this a/c. in reply to Kiowah # […]
New reading materials (sf and f)
I was just complaining on Twitter that I’m all out of Charlie Stross and I need some new scifi to read. I am a pretty avid scifi reader (to say the least: it’s like crack cocaine to me). Ross, Janet and Joanna had some great suggestions and we had a good chat about various options. […]
