Tuesday, February 16th, 2010New TomTom Map Update 845.2645 – Use Latest Map Guarantee
Tuesday, February 16th, 2010
TomTom have released a new Map Update 845.2645 today, (it could have come out late yesterday, as was promised on the 15 February 2010 – but I didn’t see it!). If you’ve just purchased your TomTom SatNav (in the last 30 days)
Use the Lastest Map Guarantee from within TomTom HOME to download for free. Otherwise you’ll need to sign up for the quarterly Map Update Service.
Rats Nest
Tuesday, February 16th, 2010One of my projects on a client site, is to replace all the defunct, old 3COM network equipment with a new core HP Switch. This network communications cabinet currently has seven (7) old 3COM switches (3300, 3300XM, 3000SM) all requring power, the communications cupboard gets very hot with all this old network switch equipment, and there is no more room for additional networking. So it’s being replaced with an HP core switch. It’s a very tedious job, labelling all the cables pulling them all out, removing all the older networking equipment, and re-installing the new switch, and cabling up again. But it’s a job that needs to be done…
So whilst your reading this today, give a thought for me, in a dusty, dark cabinet, with a rats nest of cables…..
In the long term, the advantages are clear, lower power consumption, less heat, electricity, CO2, and more network connections for more computers!
Rhubarb and Garlic
Monday, February 15th, 2010Planted out my Rhubarb crown temporarily before it gets transferred to the allotment.

and a few pictures to show how my garlic is coming in planted last September 2009.

These garlic bulbs were obtained from The Garlic Farm on the Isle of Wight.
Microsoft Security Essentials
Sunday, February 14th, 2010Fed up with how bloated AVG has become over the years since v7, it now seems to really slow down all my computers when installed. In search of a better anti-virus product I came across Microsoft Security Essentials at http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/
The slogan says “Proven antivirus protection for free? That’s what I need”. I’ll try it and see!
There’s also a true 64bit version available as well.
My last Fry’s Turkish Delight!
Sunday, February 14th, 2010This is the wrapper from my last British Fry’s Turkish Delight! I gave up Terry’s Chocolate Oranges when they left our shores, so I’m going to do the same with Fry’s Turkish Delight!
The last Frys Turkish Delight to be made in Britain!
at least the label will be right for the future “full of eastern promise!”

Windows Azure - Cloud Computing - An Operating System Online
I’ve been experimenting with Windows Azure and Microsoft Online Services. Very interesting and workable stuff – inexpensive too! Windows Azure: operating system as an online service!

Kraft – A Message To You!
Thursday, February 11th, 2010
Kraft - A Message To You - Up Yours!
You took my Terry’s Chocolate Orange, and now you’ve taken my Fry’s Turkish Delight!
On behalf of all the workers at Terry’s of York and Fry’s of Keynsham UP YOURS!
I’ll not be eating any more Cadbury’s products!
Some of your favourite chocolate bars ?Crunchie, Double Decker, Fry’s Crème, Chomp, Fudge, Mini Eggs, Picnic, Fry’s Turkish Delight, Freddos, Caramel and Curly Wurly? all made at the productive and profitable Cadbury factory in Keynsham are under threat.
The 281 year old British factory is to be closed resulting in 500 local jobs being lost, and production relocated 1,200 miles away to POLAND, however 95% of all Cadbury chocolate produced at Keynsham is consumed by us in Britain. This will result in hugely increased food miles, massively higher carbon emissions, and devastation to the local economy. Show your support by signing the petition below making your pledge.You can use your e-mail address to add relatives and friends (up to 4) with their permission, using their own names and post codes if they don’t have their own e-mail address.
Keep jobs local, KEEP production close to consumption.
Say NO to job exports.Say YES to keeping a Cadbury factory in KEYNSHAM, UK
I want to keep Cadburys in Keynsham, Great Britain.
