Christmas 2011

Matt — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 13:13:29 +0000

Heh, it’s been a while since I’ve used my blog, and for once this isn’t an angered filled rant. Just summing up what I did over Christmas this year. Not the most interesting thing ever to happen, but still different …

TESCO + Recycling, it’s going backwards a bit.

Matt — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 21:16:20 +0000

Before I go any further, this is not me complaining about my job in any way. I don’t mind the job(s) that I do, and this post is not me having a go at the company or my respective stores, …

New dedicated server

Somewhat overdue upgrade, but I’ve finally had the time and the will to upgrade from my slowing AMD Sempron to the new dedicated server. Specs are an Intel i5 4×2.66Ghz, 16GB (yes) of RAM, 2TB of hard drive space, 100mbps …

Another theme.. I just can never decide can I!

Matt — Sun, 19 Jun 2011 19:58:33 +0000

Title’s self explanatory. The end. Though I’ve done a little more than put a new theme on. I’ve merged my personal site with my blog. Makes more sense.

There’s a first for everything…

This morning, I set myself the task of putting up the new Hub Radio website. Not as simple as take old one down, and put new one up I assure you. Process was involving installing new plugins, copying settings from …

Been having (alcohol-fueled) fun with Kinect for the XBOX 360. Pretty damn good. Yesterday me, Rob, James and Simon played Kinect Adventures, had some fun with that before getting exhausted and moving to CoD Black Ops. Tonight it was Kinect …

Road Rage

Probably not a good day for me to be driving. Here’s what’s got me pretty hot headed today. To start, I went to Emerson’s Green retail park to get some stuff from Lidl and Argos. Now I had legitimately parked …

Late nights working at TESCO.. on Good Friday

Matt — Sat, 23 Apr 2011 15:45:21 +0000

Let me fill you in on how busy it was… I guarantee you it wasn’t busy. Now before last night, I had no idea when the store was closing. I would have thought 9pm or something along those lines. Nope. …

Secret iPhone placement tracking eh?

Matt — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 20:44:44 +0000

If you are unaware of what’s been uncovered, see here for more information. Basically, since iOS 4.0, your iPhone has been recording where it has been, and storing it in an unencrypted file. Now, my view on this? For me, …

Don’t check your usage, prepare to be ripped off! [Updated]

Since using mobile broadband from 3 is faster than using my home land line connection, since I’ve come home for the term break I have just used mobile broadband for general internet usage. It’s just a lot better and faster. …
