I work in an exciting and dynamic IT environment and am learning many things to do with the world of computers and wires and internets and other things of that nature generally.
But the best piece of knowledge imparted to me in my quest to understand the computers, which was actually said to me in a [...]

Exciting news readers; I have received news of a fantastic offer, an offer which I would be a fool to turn down. It arrived in my inbox this very morning and I’ve already ordered the servants to dispatch vast quantities of gold bars over to the company in question. What exactly am I buying? Hold [...]

It’s that time of year where I simply regurgitate a list, make mildly unamusing comments about items on that list and then leave you to make up your own minds about it. It’s lazy webbage, I know, but lazy I am. So let’s have a look at some of the most fascinating search terms that [...]

Fed up with having very few USB ports on your computron? Angry and enraged with having to unplug one USB thing just to allow another USB thing to be plugged in?
Then you need this fabulous piece of technology!
49 USB ports, all on one hub, all for your personal usage. It’s economical, sensible and, y’know, a bit [...]

This is for the computer geeks out there. The people who laugh at a joke about SQL, the folks who spend their waking hours perfecting their .net code, the good men and women who not only know what a Codec is but have the latest ones installed on their machine for multiple formats.
For those of you [...]

A quick review of the most interesting, perverse or confusing search terms that brought real life people from search engines to our very own slice of the web in the year 2000.
Jesus horse
Raikkonen having a shit
A drunk who claimed he had been raped by a dog
Morris Mitchener
Deep sea angler fish
Ha ha laughing
Angry man in a suit [...]

(I was tempted to entitle this post ‘Return of the Mac’. Not strictly accurate as this is my first proper post in regards to my Mac but it would’ve allowed me to make a shamefully obscure Mark Morrison reference.)
So my PC died and I needed a cheapish replacement. Enter stage left the Mac Mini with [...]

Those of you who read trenchblog will know my pc died a couple of weeks back. Frantic yearnings for a quick interhighway fix have forced me into the welcoming bosom of Steve Jobs and to purchase a Mac Mini.
You’ll be glad to know that the new Mac baby entered trenchHQ on Friday. A few brief [...]

At work the other week, I was drafted in to do some e-mail monitoring. This mainly involves going through the thousands of spam e-mails that get caught in our e-mail filter and releasing any legitimate work-based mail. As I deleted nasty spam in batches of 100, I was able to have a look at some of the [...]

The Institute for Backup Trauma is a spoof advertisement made to highlight the problems with tape-based backups. It has been put together by a company called LiveVault, who deal with disc-based backups and a whole variety of other online backup solutions, which are allegedly better than tape backups.
Sound boring? Then let me immediately raise your [...]

Charlie Brooker of The Guardian really hates Macs, and he’ll make you want to hate them too. The latest Mitchell & Webb “I’m a PC/I’m a Mac” ads have only amplified his rage.
… when you see the ads, you think, “PCs are a bit rubbish yet ultimately lovable, whereas Macs are just smug, preening tossers.” [...]

Right, listen up knuckleheads. I’ve taken to using Google Reader as my RSS reader of choice. Jolly good it is too with lots of proper whizz bang chicanery and oopsy daisy jiggery pokery that I could go into but it’d probably all be too much for your primitive mind to cope with.
Regardless, one of Google [...]

A mere few hours ago I was cursing, fuming and on the verge of tears. My PC was nearly dead, gone, doomed and in need of expensive repairs. But here I am, writing this, safe and well. This little story may get a bit technical so those folk who don’t know anything about computers should [...]

Your irregular serving of search engine madness:
castle greyskull

anti-climb paint price
blonde man
burn eyebrows off videos
cubicle protocol
deerstalker hats
explosion nuclear de shinobi
frank langella sexy
So a good month for lovers of Japanese gameshow madness, those seeking to defend their walls from oiks and those with a passion for [...]

Apologies for the delay, expect a few more months searches to appear this week to catch up. To make up for it, there’s some scorchers for April.

Those seeking busty wenches, a muscle man and the fantastically specific “20 virgins”, (no more, no less), left empty handed, [...]
