Raspberry Pi Case
The bare-bones Raspberry Pi board is great for looking at and being generally tactile with technology, but it’s sometimes equally nice to try and keep it away from prying fingers To this end I decided to see what cases are available for the Pi. Naturally, I turned to eBay and quickly found something that sounded [...]
TP-LINK 5-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch
I’ve been needing a switch for some time. As with most people I rely on the ports on the back of my ISP supplied router, but those 4 don’t get very far. For some time it’s been filled by my desktop PC, NAS, Pogoplug and Solwise Homeplug. Now I have a Raspberry Pi I could do with one more. [...]
Lenovo ThinkVision LT1421
There are a number of USB monitors now beginning to come into the market. The idea is that you plug these into your laptop, as required, to give an extended desktop. The problem with most of them, however, is that their output is usual quite poor, often with reduced angles and low levels of brightness. [...]
Creative EP-830 Headphones
The Creative EP-830 is a mid-range price set of in-ear headphones. I’ve previously reviewed their Aurvana In-Ear2 which is at the high end so this will provide a useful comparison. Unfortunately, between both reviews I have been spoilt by, what I believe, are the best headphones I’ve owned – the free set that came with my Samsung [...]

Massive Discounts on ReTrak Products @ PC World
PC World are currently offering some rather massive discounts on some of the splendid ReTrak range of products. This offer has not yet been officially announced, but is available via their website. The stand out bargain (I believe) is the Kindle charger. I haven’t yet posted a review of this but have one – this includes a retractable [...]
Noise Republic – their new album now available for download
Noise Republic, a rather fine rock band from Nottingham, have released their first album – Now Is Our Time. The album was actually recorded in 2009 but other commitments and a change on the band’s line-up delayed things somewhat. They’re not manufactured, write their own songs and play their own instruments – what’s not to [...]

Sony Ericsson LiveView
Released November last year, the LiveView is an iPod Shuffle size “gadget” from Sony Ericsson that reports information from your Android phone via Bluetooth. It’s not had a smooth ride either – early software was buggy, battery life was poor, people had problems with one of the provided clips and reviews were generally negative. It’s [...]
