How To Get The Best Out Of Broadband In London

Getting the best broadband connection is an integral part of London life, especially if you find yourself working from home occasionally, or indeed if you work from home full-time. Sitting for hours in front of your computer, waiting for files to download or videos to stream is infuriating to say the least. So, whether you’re […]

‘Codebreaker – Alan Turing’s Life And Legacy’ At London’s Science Museum

Running until the end of July, the Science Museum’s new exhibition, ‘Codebreaker – Alan Turing’s Life and Legacy‘ looks at this enigmatic man, his life and his achievements. The exhibition uses a rather eclectic mix of materials to tell Turing’s story – in terms of technology, visitors will be able to see ‘ACE’, the Automatic […]

The National Museum of Computing @ Bletchley Park

May 29, 2011 By Pete Stean

Yesterday I was over at the complex of wartime concrete buildings and wooden huts that make up Bletchley Park, the site famous for the code-breaking that took place during the Second World War. The main purpose for my visit was to investigate Block H, which houses the National Museum of Computing, but more on that […]

Views Over London With Jason Hawkes & The Amazing Nokia N8

April 6, 2011 By Pete Stean

Now as you know I’m a bit of a fan of ‘free and open’ when it comes to all things computing, which I sometimes regret because it means that I have to carry my camera equipment around on the off-chance that something interesting might catch my eye. This is due to the fact that the […]

Android Terminator-Style

August 11, 2009 By Pete Stean

I’ve been familiarising myself with a new phone over the last couple of days – Google and HTC’s answer to Apple’s iPhone, the HTC G2 otherwise known as the ‘Magic’. It has some amazing features, but there’s one application I want to focus on in particular, which I have recently downloaded. Believe me, ‘Wikitude‘ will […]

It’s All Surface

At the SOCITM Conference yesterday I was given a demo of the Microsoft Surface – their interactive ‘coffee table’ product. Admittedly it looks very impressive, and allows you to do interesting things, but it is a bit gimmicky in my opinion. It can show 3d maps of cities that can be manipulated by moving your […]

Replacing Windows XP with Ubuntu Hardy Heron on the Advent 4211 aka MSI Wind

July 29, 2008 By Pete Stean

As I promised to the boys from the UbuntuUK Podcast, here’s a simple how-to for replacing the Windows XP installation that comes pre-installed on the Advent 4211 with the Ubuntu Hardy Heron linux distribution (the machine is actually a rebadged MSI Wind by the way) This is by no means a comprehensive guide, but it […]
