  The 2nd PC Building Issue

  Welcome to the 2nd PC Building Issue! It’s finally here! The second PC building issue, and what an issue it is. Instead of rehousing an old computer, like my media centre project, it’s a new computer built from scratch. And the first project for Newforge Computers!

  A Second Preamble

  This computer building request came out of nowhere really, and I hadn’t expected to be building any new computers this summer.

  What did I miss?

  Hello again, dear readers, whoever you are… Thanks to a massively busy summer, I’ve been writing less now than when I had barely any free time during the school year. I suppose that should read “university” – I really don’t get why people decide they won’t call university school any more. It just is, end […]

  Booted due to inactivity…

  Not yet thankfully…not from my own blog. Though I have to apologize, because things have been hectic as usual and I haven’t been able to post. When I arrived home from America I was rushed straight back into work, getting the house tidied up and doing odd jobs, to get ready for our American guest […]
