        Following on from Jason's blog on the 25th February entitled " I may not have thought this through.... " I am talking part in a half marathon in the New Forest at the end of September. I can only assume the full marathon will have to follow at some point.

        The attachment was a voicemail left for me on my direct

      • iPad Review - do we like it?
        21/05/10
        The answer is "yes and no".

        I ended my recent trek in to the Grand Canyon with a few days rest and relaxation in Las Vegas.

        The iPad and the iPad 3G were already on sale in the USA and Las Vegas has three Apple Stores. So I expected to turn up at one of the stores and

        16/04/10
        As USB 3.0 begins to make an appearance on the latest motherboards and add-on cards, so Intel has shown it's logical successor at their Developer Forum currently running in Beijing.

        Light Peak currently runs at 10Gbps, a fraction over twice as fast as USB 3.0, and Intel have suggeste

        09/04/10
        New technology is constantly paraded through the halls of Technica and you'd think this week's arrival in outlets of the next-generation Audio-Visual amplifiers would be met with universal excitement, but not so.

        28/03/10
        The Partners and staff of Technica Solutions are fortunate to count many charities as clients. We offer support to these organisations at reduced charity rates.

        However, sometimes we want to go that little bit further. So over the last few years we have been giving both our time and donat

        21/03/10

        12/03/10
        It was interesting to see Apple clean up again in a Consumer Reports magazine study into after-sales service. As happened last year, Apple’s overall ranking for problem solving, phone waits, phone staff and online support put the company head and shoulders above their nearest rival – 32 percen

        Everyone who knows me knows how super fit I am and how well suited my body shape is to climbing down, through and back out of the Grand Canyon, over four days with nights under canvas and days navigating steep inclines. No showers or proper toilets and I've been told that my Blackberry won'
