Wireless Woes

Friday, April 18th, 2008

For the past couple of weeks I have been battling serious wireless issues with my O2 router. I am a new customer of O2 broadband so the router is only about 2 months old. Since joining, the router has worked fine but for a few weeks it has been dropping the connection.
Last week it […]

PS3 Firmware 2.3

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

Well the new PS3 firmware 2.3 is out so I duly downloaded it. Didn’t take too long.

I like the new store. […]

Horror Weekend

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

It has been a while since I played a PS3 game (my last was Uncharted: Drakes Fortune), and today I have a double bill of games which will continue no doubt through the weekend and beyond.  Both Condemned 2 and Dark Sector are out tomorrow and my postman delivered them a day early so my […]
