You see his two biggest Geek passions are coming together: OpenSourse OSes and Google is what can only be described as the biggest Nerd Marriage Geeky Offspring ever.

    A friend dropped of his Windows XP laptop with a virus on it. Been trying to get him back up an running all week. Looks like a clean re-install is the only solution. Somedays, I feel like such a plumber! Funny that I don’t get paid half as well as one though. (Thanks to Stuart001UK…

    Sure they drive on the wrong side of the road, drink warm beer and have designed their electrical system to boil a kettle in the short space of an ITV commercial break, but every once in a while some Brits create some simply outstanding simple and gorgeous products.
