Note on Uncharted 3 Stuttering Problems
7 Nov 2011
Spent a good few hours at the weekend with my mate trying to fix his problems with Uncharted 3.
I have a PS3 40gb (upgraded to 250GB).
He recently replaced his launch 60GB with a new PS3 Slim 160GB. He reused his 250GB Western Digital drive from his 60GB. I noticed from day 1 it was laggier and would stutter playing back video when downloading.
I he recently had major problems with Uncharted 3.

Which Car Part 2
24 Oct 2011
I went out and had a look at cars at the weekend.
Mazda RX8
I’ve always liked RX8s ever since I saw one in X Men 1. I think I still have photo’s of them from various angles in my wallpaper folder. This example is generally very nice, but as with all Mazdas I have seen the alloys are corroded. Lovely colour though and if it wasn’t for the drinking of fuel I’d get one in a heart beat.

Fixed Gravatars

Fixed Gravatars, my ancient WP 2.2 theme has been botched to work with Gravatars.
Which Car?
21 Oct 2011
I need a replacement car, the 323F just doesn’t cut it anymore. Here are my current options:
Mini One/Cooper 1.6, yes you read correctly.
Pros: Wheel in every corner, 4 seats, has some style, quite nippy
Cons: more a German tribute act than genuine article, mumsy
Hyundai Coupe 2.0
Pros: looks nice, similar driving position to my 323F and Puma, RWD
Cons: Wee bit nedish, RWD in snow, not that economical, long

When you are all right and all wrong
12 Oct 2011
In my opinion that is a lot of truck placed in either the next big thing or we’ve always done it this way so why change. Look at the anger and debate of the whole concept of a ‘Post PC era’ or an end to native apps. It is ludicrous.
As computing has evolved not only have the existing machines gotten faster, but lower and lower end devices have become computing systems.

We need a new console generation soon
26 Sep 2011
It isn’t always obvious until the following generation that the previous generation was hindering developers. We know that many of the gameplay types available now were an impossibility on consoles like the Megadrive. If a console has more power, it can do what those before did better and with imagination things they couldn’t do at all.
Right now it is blindingly obvious once you think about it how knackered and old the PS3 and 360 are.

Windows 8 / Metro UI No Thanks
23 Sep 2011
I’m sorry who other than Microsoft wants Metro UI? Nobody wanted it when it was called Zune, nobody wanted it when it was called Kin, nobody wants it now it’s called Windows Phone 7. The only Metro-ish interface they have left is the 360 dashboard and that was shoe horned onto an already successful device.
Microsoft spent 10 years trying to smash the square block (Desktop Windows) into the round hole (tablets).

Much loved friend gone, but not forgotten. You could not find a nicer dog who was a mirror to us all.
Don’t judge a Playbook by its cover
5 May 2011
After watching some videos on the Blackberry Playbook, something became clear. Much like the iPad it’s not about the specs, the size or even the apps. It’s about the build and general slickness. Apps can be written, but if the OS or hardware isn’t there it won’t matter. Many of the current and previous Android tablets missed this. Oh they might have a x Ghz CPU or y amount of storage, but basically they didn’t work.
