Seems a little strange as to why MSoft has pulled the plug on Outlook Express? I know there are better email clients out there, but OE was a small, quite useful and inbuilt email client. Oh well, looks like Thunderbird will be getting another try. ;) D.

Parked up at the Tapton Park Innovation Centre. Was there today for a meeting. D.

Are the screen stats of 320x480 purely for video? I've tried to customise my wallpaper to that size and it's always bigger than the screen itself? I took a photo with the iPhone camera, uploaded it to the PC and found that the captured size was 165x220. This is probably what the camera takes as...

After picking up the iPhone yesterday, I now have two Apple devices, along with the iPod Nano. I swiftly binned the Apple stickers that came in the box and used oven-gloves to do so - I'm not one for singed hands. ;) Anyways, nearly a full 24-hours into ownership, I'm slowly coming around to...

.....heading south around 2pm this afternoon. I was on the other side heading north. I couldn't miss the scarab colour! D.

The answer's probably looking right at me, but I can't see the wood for the trees at the moment! :) Here's the scenario:- Head Office (HO) and depot across the road are connected via 1Gbps fibre HO is the location of the NAS box with shared folders on it Depot is where Lenovo laptop is...

...this afternoon. Gave a flash and got a wave back. :) D.

Anyone? Went past me at the Bury junction with a bit of pace. ;) Caught up, but with two cars in front all the way to Haslingden neither of us could go quicker. D.

Thinking of getting the 8-piece poly bush kit from K-Tec when my car goes in for its 72k service. Are there any other bushes or joints I should look at replacing while these are being done? Track-rod ends, etc? I would like to get the handling virginally new again. ;) Cheers, D.

I so love the modders of the PC community at times! :approve: One of the German fans with the assistance of other GTL & Race'07 players has managed to combine the best of both - taking the cars from the earlier game and transplanting them for us to drive in Race'07. Naturally this makes the...

Consoles are for pussies. Real players go for this shizzle.... http://www.play.com/Games/PC/4-/10851816/Farming-Simulator-2009/Product.html Seriously. WTF? :S :clown: D.

After the PC effort of a few weeks ago, I thought I'd add some of this shizzle... After a conversation with Martin off v6clio.net, I remembered he'd given us some of the Diamondbrite stuff, so today I gave it a try - once I'd found the bloody stuff, lol. Anyways, I don't know if the...

Picked up HOMM5 Gold Edition from Play earlier this week. It's a rare find as the HOMM series has never really been mainstream. And while the core game itself is not common at all, the expansion packs were virtually impossible to pick up from the high street. The exception to this was HOMM3...

Even with my phobia of the Lard Eater of the Clio Range - I have to admit that it looked mighty fine. Went along Great Ancoats Street at around 2.45pm today. D.

Bought the Collectors Edition off Play for a mere £12 this week and installed it last night. It's all new to me, but I did spend a lot of time on UT2004, so the basics are there in my head! Anyone else play it? If so, send me a Player Card in the game for 'Unzen' and I'll add you to the...

I'm sorely tempted to buy this, but like f**k am I paying that for it?! I appreciate the amount of work and programming gone into it, but £56 for a game is a little steep, imo...

....does anyone know? Cheers, D.

Spent about three hours yesterday, giving the car a wash, clay and wipe-down with some intensive tar remover. As expected, the area just behind the front wheels was fairly 'rough' with deposits - not the easiest thing to see against black gold! ;) I also got a couple of larger washers on the...

......both driver and occupant were looking under the near-side front - I hope it wasn't serious? Private plater. Would have pulled over, but I was on the opposite side - sorry chaps. D.

Y-plater that joined ahead of me on the Ramsbottom slip-road, heading south. You then pulled off at Pilsworth a couple of junctions down. I would have caught up with you, but the utter pleb in the car in front refused to pull over. And I wasn't one for bullying him out of the way. Still a tool...

Just caught a fleeting glimpse of a 182 at Heap Bridge roundabout last night that I'm sure was the sacred petrol blue colour. It went up the slip-road at Heap Bridge, heading south towards the M62. I hope there is one of those nearby - superb colour! :approve: D.

Three years on and this thing still captivates me like no other FPS game out there. After the v1.50 patch for the BF2 thread, I reinstalled BF2142 again. Going straight to single player mode to get the 'ol mouse and eye coordination back up to speed, I got an in-game buddy message from...

Ok, so let's just get some stats shall we.... Age 34 No points, no convictions Maximum no claims Clean license since passing in March 1992 182 valued at £4k - just a random figure I picked Jain insured on the car too ....some decent quotes came up. And at the other end of the scale, there...

First one. A heaviliy stickered up and modified '52 172 Cup. The car itself looked pretty smart, but the female driver looked terrified. Heavy rain + spray + motorway rush hour traffic + no ABS = panic. ;) Pie-eater silver 197. It's fat arse went past both me and Mrs. Worried above. '05 black...

We've got two seperate domains at work, ironically, for no specific reason whatsoever. Over the years, they have grown and are physically connected via the network. We share a few folders and the odd printer, but nothing major. As both domains are Windows 2003 Standard Server domains, are...

I let on, but got no response. :rasp: Had to nudge the 'ol speedo a fair bit to catch you up too! D.

Y-plater, going to B&Q by the looks of it - yesterday afternoon. D.

I thought this had long been forgotten. Maybe not? http://www.gamershell.com/psp/gran_turismo_psp/screenshots.html D.

Fecking hell. Got to remember about the Eibachs! Rushed across to the other office this afternoon with a thousand-and-one work things going through my head. Pulled up, got out and then thought, shiote! No crunch, no grinding noise. I must have got away with it. I did...... just! ;) D.

Four years after its initial release, they are still releasing patches for it. Even better, the previous two expansion packs appear to be thrown in for free :) http://www.gamershell.com/news_83176.html D.
