The economics of free software

Posted on February 15, 2011

steve

Time and expertise is the trading currency, not money

Ironic that nerds/geeks – socially outcast in formative years – are those who often promote the benefits of freedom and unrestricted education.

People of certain generations don’t like choice.

Win7 not displaying thumbnails?

Posted on February 1, 2011

steve

In Windows Explorer :

Click Organize / Fold and Search options / View [tab] / Files and Folders section / untick "Always show icons, never thumbnails"

Seriously - what ****-head, numb-nut set this as default ??????

Oh and you need to close and restart Explorer to see the effect.

That's like washing your car and having to get into & out of it before you see the clean car. (:

The most stable MOT testing station in Hampshire?

Posted on January 12, 2011

Linux User & Developer magazine
– a good read while having your car MOT’d

I was delighted to take my car to Swiftest in Aldershot this morning, for one simple reason (see pic – and no, it wasn’t because of the coffee, although that helps!)

Female Friendly policy:
A Good Thing^TM

In fact, there are two good reasons to use Swiftest in Aldershot. Three, actually.

First, the aforementioned reading material.

Second, the professional, helpful and polite staff (Rob, James & co).

Lastly, it has to be the “Female Friendly” policy. I was there first thing (7:30am) for my car to be MOT’d, and the only other two customers to come in at this early hour were both female. I’d say that was testimony enough.
