Keep Your Nose Clean

Thanks to my D-Link Router enabling wireless and, in anticipation of playing Spore online shortly, I am becoming re-acquainted with my, as yet, under-used Lenovo ThinkPad T61.
I have downloaded the latest SLIM version of  CCleaner, an excellent application that I was made aware of when parading a painfully pernicious (undelicious) pooter pickle before the hugely [...]

The Missing D-Link

I am typing this (inner-peace (piece)) in a comfy chair – like a proper human being (!!) like a proper human being being, compelled, propelled to proper comfy.

[So sez my report]
It’s the 4-Port (4-Me) D-Link what ‘as done so ’scaped me from the <slime & [...]

ISP Exceeds Expectations Again !

10:30
The FREE router that my ISP supplies to customers who subscribe for a minimum of a year has just arrived – brought as a special delivery within 24 hours (!!) when the turnaround time was predicted to be a markédly lengthier 3-5 days.

Learning WordPress – WYSIWYG

I believe CSS is supposed to eliminate the needless MESS of HTML ((nested) tables). I have been trying to line up letters precisely (even using whited-out dashes) but I am finding that my [output] doesn’t match my [input].
Perhaps I need an alternative Template that offers “Fixed Width”.
I wonder if [Paste from WORD] would carry over [...]

How To……Play Audio Files Faster

My favourite ‘net-browsin’ laptop – a five and a half year old Toshiba Satellite – admired not only for the dedicated duration of its superb service but for its 15″ 800×600 native resolution’s lovely level of lexical legibility (unexpectedly thoroughly trouncing what my “new” (mildy disappointing) 14.1″ Lenovo ThinkPad can display as the more modern [...]

Net Bets

Stan James (the [offshore online] Bookmakers) have sent me a Free £10 Bet, bless ‘em. I’ve backed Man Utd. away to Portsmouth on the 25th and will profit to the (Rooney) tune(y) of £7 should the Red Devils harbour (“)Victory(“) and ——->
