I’ve got together with a few friends of mine and we have started a technology blog called the Hi-Tech Squad. We are officially launching it this week but as with all web ventures it will take time to grow in popularity, reputation and content… Come visit us if you are interested.

15 interesting .us domain names still available
I have compiled a list of over 1700 dictionary word .us domains available (according to WHOIS) using the Del.icio.us format. This means that the domain is a word which ends in ‘us’ and that forms part of the word and domain name. Download list 15 of the most interesting are: idolatrous – ido.latro.us incautious – […]
Installing a graphics card on Gigabyte GA-6VXE
A friend of mine asked me to install an extra hard drive in his machine and reinstall the OS from scratch. The hard drive was easy enough and the Windows XP installation went easy. But… There is always a but… The graphics card driver wouldn’t register… It is a GeForce 4 440MX and I downloaded […]
Help me get a laptop
Laptop prices are falling all the time and I thought it was about time I got one… So I have started a campaign over at chipin.com to collect $538 (that’s US dollars) to buy the cheapest Dell laptop. If I have helped you in some way in a forum, by email or even in person […]
