Following up on my interest in “zero client” devices, I found Panologic<\/a> referred to in Brian Madden’s blog. They look like great devices!<\/p>\n

Following on from a presentation from Leostream<\/a> today, I’m beginning to realise just how many Vitualisation companies there are out there: hundreds if not thousands. One slide showed a whole swathe of companies I’d never heard of. Much to learn!<\/p>\n

On a non-virtual note, let me relate my experience with a couple of pieces of home tech. First of all a new RangeMax Netgear Wireless N router (model WNR834Bv2). I have been using for a year a Wireless G router which came “free” from Virgin when I subscribed to their cable service. Unfortunately, that device has\u00a0 customised “virgin” firmware and despite following instructions I found on the internet to allow me to log in to the device (it’s a small Linux-y thing) I could not get up-to-date firmware installed. Only a problem because it did not work with any of the family’s Nintendo devices.<\/p>\n

I was happy to get the new device up and running in a matter of minutes and it works very well with the Nintendos and other machines. Good Tech!<\/p>\n

My wife’s iPhone newish 3GS packed up yesterday. Bad Tech. Despite being plugged in overnight and during the day on difference chargers the battery would not hold more than 4%. Most of the day it wouldn’t even turn on. Luckily I managed to coax enough life into it to back it up and take it to the Apple Store who agreed it was kippered and replaced it with a new one. On the plus side, despite the hassle, restoring all the settings onto the new device worked smoothly.<\/p>\n

Personally, I’m not a fancy phone person. Spend enough time in front of the computer\/internet already. Provided I have something that people can talk to me with and send text messages, that’s all I need.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
