Other Website...

For my 'other website' review, I had only one real choice: www.whatthetech.com This website is all about helping people with computer problems. I recently found my computer to be playing up. In particular, google was diverting to other sites (which I knew was a serious problem). After trying to mend it myself, I completely broke the PC, leaving it in a state where it wasn't even connecting to the internet anymore. My wife was mad, and I was sad, and then (from work) I came across whatthetech.com The website is basically set up by computer experts, and is all about helping you mend and avoid computer problems. They have an active set of forums where ...  Read the complete review

In a recent review about The Crossing at St Paul's I mentioned a Midland artist called Jan Keenan who I have known for some years now. She graduated from Manchester University in 1986 with an honours degree in printed textile design and has been working as a designer ever since. She has sold her designs all over the world and to high profile businesses including Asda, Tesco, Morrison's, M & S and Lakeland Plastics. She has also been painting during this time mainly for her own enjoyment but has recently decided to move into painting with a view to exhibiting her work and the first of these exhibitions is at The Crossing at St Paul's in ...  Read the complete review

www.croyweb.co.uk - local area website for Croydon in South London. The thing I like about this web-site is that it has everything all in one place. To get a true idea of what is available lically you would normally have to have links stored in your favourites to local news web-sites, local classifieds like Gumtree, property like Rightmove etc, discussion boards on Google etc and all the other aspects of surfing. By the time you add in directory services telling you about local businesses and shops, plus public services such as transport and health, you end up with s big folder called local links. With a site like Croyweb you have all the links and access ...  Read the complete review

Having a DVD recorder means that I regularly record films from the TV, and it can be hard to quickly identify them, if all you do is write the name on the disc. So how do I manage to make my discs look extra special and easy to identify? Well I visit a nice little site called cdcovers.cc, download a picture of the particular DVD and print it onto my home recorded printable DVDs, it's that simple. ~~~The website~~~ The website is of a simple enough design and the homepage loads quickly using a 1MB broadband connection and both Internet Explorer and Netscape, however there are a lot (and I mean a LOT) of pop-ups even when using a pop-up killer. But ...  Read the complete review

About Internet Telephony – The bit for technophiles, Trivial Pursuit buffs and trainspotters. You’ve probably heard about making calls on the Internet but perhaps haven’t looked into it because, frankly, there are better things to do in life than work out how to make a call through the Internet. The history of Internet telephony is neither long nor particularly interesting, pioneered in 1995 by researchers and CB-type hobbyists in bed-sits. The technology allows users to communicate using real-time voice via PC-to-PC, PC-to-phone, phone-to-phone, PC-to-fax, or fax-to-fax. The threat this technology poses to traditional long distance and local phone carriers is ...  Read the complete review
