I just set up a Yealink W52P on BT’s SIP service and it was a bit of a PITA. I couldn’t find anything concrete on how to do it, so am posting some useful tips for other people trying to do the same. The basic account details are: domain: bmnhb-03.bt.com outbound proxy: www.bbvservice-560348.bt.com (I’ve read […]
Update 28/08/14: Since Dropbox announced they give you 1000GB for $99 a month, not much point considering Copy or anything else.

I’m still running the default version of Windows 7 that came with the machine, and I have a few programs installed that I’d like to keep, so rather than doing a fresh Windows install, I decided to make […]

What Are Mechanical Keyboards I have to admit that I didn’t really know what a mechanical keyboard was a few months ago. I knew that my Logitech Cordless Wave keyboard was starting to give up the ghost after about 4 years, and I knew I needed something better. I started doing some investigation, and discovered […]
Over the weekend I’ve made the switch from using 3 platforms – Dropbox, SkyDrive and Google Drive – to putting everything into Dropbox. Why? Dropbox is better. There’s lots of little niggly reasons why that is. For example, the SkyDrive Android app is incredibly slow at loading images. SkyDrive desktop app is incredibly slow at […]
I encountered an error yesterday with Dropbox that I’ve not seen before, and couldn’t find anyone else talking about: when I Googled the error message – it returned no results. The error is “This folder has too many files to share at once. Please move some files out, try a subfolder, or contact support for […]
I have a ReadyNas Duo and for a long time have been getting very slow transfer speeds when connected to my desktop computer via ethernet. It transfers much faster via WiFi to my laptop, and even to my desktop when I disable LAN and enable the WiFi card. This puzzled me for a very long […]
