CPUsed To It.

Okay, so my computer is a tad old (for a laptop anyway). I provide it with the best software i can get for free and keep the insides squeaky clean and organised. It's like a sandcastle on the beach, great, but i can't move it without it falling apart.

To the unaware onlooker, it looks like a normal healthy computer, an incorrect diagnosis; it's recent characteristics are more like a leper.
A screw here and a screw there and boom, out pops the DVD drive mid Ghost Rider.

At first it was kind of cutesy, like "Oh, haha, oops you silly ol' thing, you!"
Now, it just makes Top Gear feel like the Italian Job. It's Cliffhanger freakin' city.

The DVD drive isn't the only thing that likes to slide out now and again *no innuendo intended*. The hard drive sometimes fancies a breather on occasion which is great when trying to crack out a Geoggers homework. It actually helps blur the lines between the earthquakes i'm writing about and what's going on around me. I can never be sure if my blue screen is from a passing tremor or my Laptop's just crapped out it's entire memory.
Either way, someones screwed.
It's usually me.
Okay, it's only ever me.

Since a new computer ain't near the horizon i'll just have to get used to it..
Now if you'll excuse me, i'm off to watch Blackadder till i laugh my drives out

Encyclopedia Internet-Ica

Oooh, over the last few years and summer holidays i've seen and stored a vast array of Bookmarks within my Laptop, of which i thought i'd share with y'all. In no particular here they are, we'll call these the basics

www.pixlr.com - Browser based photo editing suite, ideal for the more RAM challenged computer.
www.listverse.com - Good fun and hugely interesting, the archives can pass the time.
www.jimmyr.com - Awesome site, used as my homepage always. Special Google orientated MP3 search, science an news updates, the most popular images from Reddit. Useful.
http://lifehacker.com/5548767/lifehacker-pack-2010-our-list-of-essential-windows-downloads - A greatly useful lineup of programs for your use, i've taken from this page and am ruddy greatful for it.
http://file2hd.com/ - Alot smaller and quicker than most sites, also allows you to take specific items from a page aside from videos so it's versatile to say the least
http://dictionary.reference.com/ - Quick and useful, when trying to be grammatical. Or win an argument over the spelling of Antidisestablishmentarianism .

There's more, however i'd like to keep you all on tippy toes so i'll stop so, that's all for now... until next time!

What is a Blog? Eh?

The other week Mr.Wood, asked us to create a presentation in any form that we wanted to explain a certain topic within ICT. As you have definitely guessed if you've read the title, i was provided with explaining what a Blog is. I could explain what one is here, however i took the time to make a presentation.
And so, below there it is! Enjoy :)
