With very little to talk about, iv been rather tempted to move into fictional stories... Don't worry i hear you cry, its not going to happen for several very key reasons:
One, i can't write at all. Its awful. I'm suprised half the sentences on this page make any coherient sence.
Next is that my creativity is rather lacking. My stories aren't great at the best of times, and are downright awful if you want to be kind.
So no, I wont be moving down that route any time soon!
Anyway, its been well over 10 days since my last entry, so i guess its due for another one.
also, i am aware my last two blogs were slightly nerdy (especially my last one, with little real humour or light heartedness) so today I'm going to stray slightly from that general area.
Ok, I'm going be honest, i suck at coming up with topics. I think of one during the day, and by the time i sit down and write the darn thing, iv come up with 20 or so reasons why i shouldn't. Its all rather annoying!
I don't really see how people do blogs every day. I've tried, but i just don't know why people would be interested in about what i have to say…or is that the point? I write and people find me?
Meh, what ever the reason, i find writing these things hard.
Solid tech stuff is a little boring, and dull, especially if you have no interest in that area at all, so I'm trying to steer clear of it all.
Ok, so this whole blogging thing I'm going to think of it like car: Body panels are a subjects…engine is er…my writing? Steering wheel is my overall direction? Ok quite frankly that is awful, and I'm going to stay well away from such analogies.
ok, as iv now waffled on for 30 or so lines I'm going to take my leave.
I’m going try and come up with a proper, meaningful post over the next few days (i ALWAYS say that, and leave it for 2 weeks?!).
wish me luck!

A Chrome Fox… that Explores the internet…( See what i did there!)…
Right, well I've had quite a while to ponder about what subject this blog post will be about, and i think I'm going to go with Web Browsers. Yes, i think that’s a good topic.
(This is my view of the Different Browsers, and everyone is entitled to choose what they want and what they think, so yer…er… continue reading if you want my view on the subject.)
Well, for those of you that don't know ( and yes, there are a fair few of you out there) there is more than one type of Browser, and i shall list the ones that i want to talk about ( but that's not to say there aren't other excellent browsers out there!).
Another thing i should mention is availability. They can all be gotten off their official websites and for free. Plus they install pretty quickly, so they really aren't hard to switch between them quickly and find the best fit for you.
The main ones are Firefox, Internet Explorer (IE), Google Chrome ( or just Chrome), Safari, Opera and several other ones that i cant think of off the top of my head.
Right, so lets get started!
First off, is Internet Explorer. Ok, so fair do’s to it, it is the most used, but the reason why is a little unfair in my view. As it comes with your operating system, most people are never told or go looking for another browser, and so stick with it.
see now, this wouldn't be a bad thing, if there weren't better ones just around the corner. IE8 is the current version, and to me its slow and unresponsive. It also doesn't look all that great either, and finding add-ons for it is pretty much imposable. That's not to say its all that bad, and its rendering of webpages (as in the way it displays them and loads them) isn't bad either. Its just me and IE have never really gotten on, and i swiftly moved over to another one.
ah what about IE9 i hear your cry? Well, that's actually not half bad. But it does have issues. One mistake (on Microsoft's part, not the actual browser) is that you can only install it on Windows 7 or Windows Vista machines. See, i have a small netbook that runs XP, and so is useless to me, and i know of quite a few other people that still use XP, as its still robust and has lots of support, and generally still works.
But other than this little issue, its a pretty solid browser, and works excellently with video’s and games due to its hardware acceleration…thing?
Anyway, I’ve rambled on enough about IE, time for my personal Favourite:Firefox 4!
Firefox is my favourite. You can get loads of add-ons from their online store (free of course) and you can make it look anyway you want. In my opinion it boots faster than IE too, but that could just be my system. Their next version is Firefox 4, which I'm currently using. Its not a great improvement really, a slight change to the aesthetics of it (as it now looks a lot like Opera), and some other stuff under the hood. I recommend it, but maybe the release version, which should be out in the next few months (hopefully!).
My next favourite has got to be Chrome. Not as a main system desktop browser (not that it doesn't work for it, and is still excellent) its just not what i want on my desktop.
Its built to take up as little screen space as possible, which it does well, and so is perfect for netbooks, as well as desktops. Its also stupidly quick to boot, far faster then IE or Firefox, and its surfing is speedy too (on par with Firefox in my view). You can also make it look the way you want with themes etc..
Each browser has pros and cons, but at the end of the day all do pretty similar jobs, and its down to personal preference to choose which one you want.
I might be able to do another log entry over the next few days, so watch out!

Its been far too long…
Right, its been far to long, so i best get on with a new post.
I guess i should probably explain my self for the lack of any form of post.
Well, last week i actually wrote one, and was about to put it up, and in the end didn't as i didn't like the way it turned out. I don't know what it was about it, just didn't like it.
Actually, I'm rather glad i didn't, due to several days later Sony hosted a press conference, which told the world about there brand new console. My blog post was actually on the speculation surrounding what i thought would be the next PSP, which turned out to be wrong anyway, or not entirely correct. I based most of my post on the PSP Phone (which at the time i was getting it confused and thinking it was their replacement to the PSP), and had no idea there was actually a completely separate console called the NGP. So clearly i was barking up the wrong tree.
Anyway, i didn't actually post it, so its all good!
Over the next few weeks, i will hopefully update this more than i currently have been. Its been over a week!
Unfortunately, I'm also away over most of the weekends during February, so don't be surprised if this is a little lacking.
That's all i can think of writing tonight, look out for another new blog post in the next few days!
