Mybook World Edition

So I know that I’ll need to do this again, and I may as well record my steps so that i know what i did to get this thing up and running! 1) Used the tool described here, this took a few hours to complete the one disk – http://highlevelbits.free.fr/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=164:bluering-doubledrive-mybookformat&catid=68:bluering-mybookrescue&Itemid=79&lang=en 2) Update the firmware to

Good causes

Want to help make a difference? After reading about the effects of alcohol on families and friends of alcoholics, and realising that it does actually include myself, coming from an family that suffered abuse from an alcoholic, education for children (and their parents) is key to changing the pattern of alcohol and rug abuse in

boxed

It’s funny how we don’t like being put into a box, feeling like we’re the same as everyone else. When someone tells you “you’re this” or “you’re that”, no matter what the qualification, we want to think, “noooo I’m not that, I’m different”, but are we really? Can we all really be classified into a

72 hours in Manchester

I had a very brief stay in Manchester, only 2 nights, but it’s been a fantastic time once again catching up with a lovely friend. I also got to try a large number of different cider flavours and brands, still convinced that Sweden do a better cider than Ireland (or the West Coast). I think
