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! As usual, I started out at bit-tech/Custom PC. Since…

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. I had worked on most of Trevor’s computers in the past, and let me tell you, they certainly provided me with some work. The problems would have the oddest presentations, and often become more…

Coming Soon! Another PC Building Issue
There’s some excitement afoot. I have been commissioned to build a computer for a friend of my dad, and the parts will hopefully arrive on Thursday. You know what that means…another PC building issue! This computer is being built completely from scratch, and will hopefully be a monster dedicated mainly to Photoshop and Lightroom. Priorities…

Living with the Atrix
This is going to be a relatively short post; practically just an update on how things are going with the new phone. The Atrix is a fantastic phone and has proven very powerful and capable of handling everything I’ve thrown at it so far. I’m typing this post on the lapdock whilst lying in bed.…

So many distractions!
I’ve been trying to work as much as possible coming up to the start of my exams this Thursday. There’s so much stuff! And it really hasn’t been helped by my excessive spending recently. I was in Scalini’s on Wednesday with the sci-fi society which was pretty good, though not quite up to the standard…

A Cabinet of Curiosities
I know I said the blog would be suspended for the time being, but I was in a bad place last week, and I now wish to retract my statement. I simply can’t not write! (please forgive the double negative). Last week I attended a lecture along with my dad at the F. E. McWilliam…

Productive procrastination
Another busy week, which is becoming the norm these days. There’s always so much going on between university, fencing, filmmaking, plotting and fixing computers. And my driving test is now safely behind me, as of Wednesday, and I’ve never felt better. My posts seem to be getting later and later as time goes on, but…

REwind: Issue One – New Old Beginnings
I’m taking a break from the usual stuff to write about something rather different, which I’m also quite interested in. I’ll be back with a normal post next week. The story so far – I was discussing blogs with my friend, who had expressed interest in writing a tech blog, which got me thinking about…

Recovery
It has been another busy weekend, not really aided by the fact I was incredibly sleep deprived after Thursday night. I said I would have an update, but there wasn’t anything happening at the time after the first one on Friday morning, but I can summarise things now after the experience. It went pretty well,…

Rediscovery
I love rediscovering Belfast. Day in, day out, I walk the same roads. The same routes. To get to the same destination. Thursday was a different day, as I had some free time after class for a change. My first destination, along with two friends from my class, was the GAME store in Donegal Square.…
