Jukebox HD
In a previous post I gave a brief review of the Zotac ION board I purchased for my new Media Centre and now it’s in a case… Some pictures from the construction below; I made a new backplate as the old one wasn’t in a great state and this allowed me to mount […]
Automatic Mute on Lock/Unlock in Windows 7
Like a lot of self confessed geeks I listen to music while I’m working on my PC. At home this isn’t so much of an issue though at work where locking your machine when you leave your desk it gets a little irritating as if I don’t want to irritate my work mates I have […]

Our community at work never ceases to amaze me, I sent out an email asking if someone had an old arc welder they no longer used and within a few minutes I had a few people offering theirs up! Just goes to show one mans junk is another mans treasure, now I just have to […]
Copenhagen
So, I’ve had the idea of finally getting jedibowler.com up and running with a blog and today I arrived in Copenhagen for work. I also started playing with Live Photo for the first time and made the above image from four pictures I took from my hotel room window. So far I’m impressed, with […]
