    drwatson postmortem debugger

    It generates a file which contains the contents of the processors registers and flags. It also provides a dump of the stack so that you can see how the program got to where it is. It also contains information about the core system (version, sp state etc). It's one of windows most utterly...

    Plus.net Broadband

    Plusnet sell premier using the rather ridiculous "measure of transfer quota" under the banner of contention. 30:1 is impossible as the product they're selling and provided to them by bt wholesale is 50:1. They have a "Sustainable Usage Policy" which says that you can download 30GB/mo in peak...

    Installing a mk2 172 steering wheel

    Do yourself a favour and just disconnect the battery! The last thing you want is it going off and seriously injuring yourself.

    Anyone use Airport Express or Airport Extreme?

    You absolutely want to use windows for this? If I were building some sort of media center I'd be running mythtv on the backend and then network boot mythtv frontends to cut down on the noise from the clients. Mythtv is far better than anything I've seen under windows.

    auto wipers?

    Me too. I don't have a problem with the auto lights, seem to do the job 99% of the time, the other one percent of the time I just switch them on manually. The auto wipers on the other hand are sh*te, and that's being polite. I think they're downright dangerous, I still have no idea why...

    172 fuel economy

    Your dealer will laugh at you! As others have said, you need to calculate it the old fashioned way, at least then you'll know exactly what you're getting. There's also a difference between driving normally and driving economically. I've managed to get around 350 miles out of a tank on...

    Cambridge Saturday night

    Pah! There's plenty of parking, you just have to know where the special secret parking spots are! ;) The basement level at queen anne is usually empty too, probably because you have to go up a level to get (down) to the basement!

    Oi! I lived behind that estate in my second year ;) We used to cycle through there as fast as possible! In the first week of being in our house (which was really nice) we had: Encountered a naked bloke dancing in the road. My housemate nipped down the chippy on that estate to buy us some...

    Lboro Uni

    Try being there 10 years ago, that was a scary ratio - back when it was "loughborough university of technology". I wonder if the lecture theatre in the schofield building (think it was something like 103) still has the odd wind running through it. Ahh, those were the days.....

    Copying Data onto External HD

    Full speed usb (1.1) is only 12mbit/s datarate without overheads. My headunit has usb to upload to the harddrive and that only manages about 800kb/s.

    Silver Motorsport 172.

    This evening, 5:15 parked up on a entrance to a farm road between the A14 and hilton. Huge motorsport sticker in the front window.

    Low power on cold start

    Sounds normal to me, the 172 goes into an emissions mode from cold start and behaves really crappily for the first minute or so.

    best hard drive headunit

    http://www.empegbbs.comwww.empegbbs.com The Empeg/Rio Car is still the best by far. Its not made anymore though, you can probably pick up a second hand one for about £300 - but it requires an external amp. Another ~£150 for a tuner module (if you can get one). With the tuner module you can...

    Naughty blue valver - cambridge!

    172 Mk2 - Lumpy when cold

    Normal, from a cold start it goes into tree hugging mode where it limits emissions. It also lowers the rev limiter, but you shouldnt really be going near that from cold!

    Traded Golf R32 for 182

    Full tank of fuel!!

    Ive only ever filled my car with optimax apart from a week ago when I tried some esso premium. I didnt drive the car any differently (afaik!) but the esso only *just* lasted a week whereas a tank of optimax lasts nearly two weeks, in that respect optimax is saving me a fortune!

    Sat-Nav Install Pics

    Does the "closeness" of the iPaq make you claustraphobic? I think your bracket looks more centered than the brodit one I had so you might not have that problem. Can you not wire the power into the underside of the cigarrette lighter to be completely free of wires? Looks real nice/tidy...
