  • Windows Vista & WebDAV

    Bah – it’s happened again, a new install of Vista results in me no longer being able to connect to my WebDAV folders. So, for my future reference… here’s the link to a posting relating to this error, and here’s the file location itself (Software Update for Web Folders (KB907306))

  • Will (Community) WiFi Work?

    Over on the Free Auckland Wireless Blog, I pose the question that, if this community WiFi project takes off, can we then expect some corporate assistance by some of the ISPs and Telecommunication companies? Will the community be given the chance to grow, or will it be shut down by service providers leaning on their […]

  • Freeing the Web

    Well today I created a Facebook Group called Free Auckland Wireless – the idea being to try and drive a community of like minded people who might like to share a little of their bandwidth for the greater good. Of course, the group has it’s own blog which you can find here and was inspired […]

  • The Death of a Blog…

    I transitioned my content from the World of Warcraft blog I originally set up back in 2006, back into this site today. I’ve been having issues maintaining the discipline to post regularly in this blog, let alone attempt to maintain another blog devoted to the wonderful World of Warcraft thus, in an effort to simplify […]

    Just got sent a link by a friend (who doesn’t quite understand my addiction, but that’s another post) to an article on how Halifax Bank in the UK has blocked payments to the World or Warcraft subscription servers, quoting “a significant number of fraudulent transactions through Blizzard’s gaming sites” as the motivation behind this move.
