Hard Drive Space
If your C Drive is very low on space, this can in some cases cause your computer to run slow.
I have created a short tutorial on how to use the Windows Clean up tool to free up space on your Hard Drive.
After using a free tool called Tree Size and comparing the reported used space by Windows, I discovered about 60GB of space was missing 40GB of that was not reported in tree size.

Cebit 2009 – Sydney
As the Title suggests, I went to Cebit today… Oh yes, walking around for 5 hours hunting down useful and fun gadgets, software, hardware anything!!
Unfortunately, there was not much to be seen in the way of innovation throughout the 3 halls. I guess I was expecting a lot more, it feels as though Cebit quality has declined somewhat over the years and it does not compare in anyway to CES or even Cebit in Germany.
All in all, it was not the most tragic of days, there were a few things that caught my eye at this years show and I did meet up with Leigh a reporter with The Gadget Grill at which point Read the rest of this entry »
People ask me – How can I choose an Internet Service Provider?

The Internet
- The Internet is what you are connected to when you look at a website e.g. reading this very blog post online, chatting to a friend, using your email and more. The Internet is made up of lots of computers connected to one another in a network, this can be via many different mediums.
Now you cannot just plug your computer into a phone socket and hope to be online. You need to be connected via an ISP (Internet Service Provider.) To be Read the rest of this entry »
