    Since i49, I’ve now attended a number of Insomnia Gaming Festivals, returning as a staff member each time. I’ve had the pleasure of working with a number of people from Multiplay, but also with the event volunteers. I should have expected as much by now, but the community behind projects is often the most interesting…

    I briefly mentioned in a earlier post (Minecraft) the Essentials Bukkit server mod, for the game Minecraft. The server plugin adds a basic set of admin/staff tools to a server, and can add a lot of easy to use tools for players at the same time. The idea behind Essentials, is that the core plugin…

    Dropbox is a free service which creates a folder on your hard disk which it mirrors both online and with other machines you have also installed the service.

    Like most people, when new things come out I am immediately attracted to them, in the IT community you can often push this a little further and grab at things before they are ‘new’. I first started using gmail and windows 7 when they were both early on in their beta and was impressed with…

    Any frequent users of any of the services run on the khobbits.co.uk domain might have noticed that a lot of things have begun to forward to khobbits.net. At the beginning of the month I got an email from the people who currently host khobbits.co.uk who have decided to go bust. Basically by the start of…

    Over time I have ran quite a few IRC bots, IRC being Internet Relay Chat for people without the know. An IRC bot, is a bit of script or program that does automated tasks on a chat channel. Now, KHBOT was a creation of mine which stood the torrents of time, that is until I…

    Someone sick of all crapware you get upon new computers these days has built an app to ‘decrap’ your computer. The program called ‘PC Decrapifier‘ targets typical Dell machines but should work for any computer sporting the typical crapware. Beware, although the tool specifically targets apps shipped with a new dell machine it will remove…
