Another laptop display bites me slightly in the behind. Turned on my laptop (just over four years old) this morning to find the display ghosting (photo though due to the ghosting, I can’t tell how well it’s come out). It’s got worse over the course of the day (and it was happening in the BIOS …

Nokia X6: My experience so far
As I mentioned yesterday, I recently upgraded to the Nokia X6 16GB and as when I reviewed the N900, I’m posting my experiences of just over two weeks with it so far. All from the perspective of being a Linux user of course. I am loving the X6 on the whole. The ‘X’ range is …

In praise of Mazuma
I have been known in the past to post items ranting about poor service from companies, so it makes a nice change now to be able to say something positive about service from a company whose facilities I have used. Mazuma Mobile take a bow! I recently upgraded my mobile phone from a Nokia N95 …

No-one Won
It’s a hung parliament. You already knew that of course. I’ve not slept very much. You may not already know – or indeed care about – that. Anyway. What the results show is that this country desperately needs electoral reform. The Liberal Democrats had a great showing though you wouldn’t know if from the make-up …

Go Vote!
Today’s the day. You’ve heard the policies, you’ve seen the debates, you’ve read the comments. You may even have engaged directly yourself in some way by leafleting, tweeting or discussing the election over a pint. Today is the day to make it all count. Today is the day to make your decision. If you don’t …

Three days to go – with whom to deal?
Three days to go until the most significant General Election in generations. Significant because we have a genuine chance of changing politics, of doing away with the decades-old hegemony of the two old parties. The Liberal Democrats are poised to be at least the second-placed party in terms of the popular vote, if not the …

Unscientific poll
This is totally unscientific and if you want to see the professionally executed polls, click here. That being said, it’s interesting. There’s a poll on Facebook at the moment asking who people want to be the next Prime Minister. Here’s a screengrab of the current results: So, just to be clear, that’s 46% for Nick …

Single Transferable Vote
@pintofsimilar asked earlier how a Single Transferable Vote system produces a result that is closer to the will of the electorate than our current First Past The Post system. I said I’d explain and then totally forgot. I just remembered. From here on in, the two options are STV and FPTP and if I refer …
