21. January 2010
While I get myself back in to gear and start working on the site more, I should point out that I've been very active on Twitter. Most of the links I would have compiled and posted here for your enjoyment I simply tweet now as I find them.

6. January 2010
I recently had occasion to use GRUB (a boot loader - the thing that tells your computer what the hell it's loading when it starts up) on a 32 GB USB drive. I did this so I could stick it in an inert computer, boot it up and then choose from multiple operating systems to install.

7. December 2009
To ease back in to things I thought I'd post an image sent to me by the Scribblenauts PR machine, which I actually find quite nice. It doesn't hurt that Scribblenauts is the only game I'll currently fire up on my DS too. Here's the full sized version in 1650 by 1050(ish) resolution.

24. November 2009
You may (or thanks to some intrepid editors may not have) noticed my complete and utter lack of posting to TC over the past few weeks. Unfortunately this trend will probably continue for the next few weeks as well - although I hope to get the occasional post off.
