The wonders of international standards – power cords
Twice within just a few months I have been traveling abroad just to realize that my AC power cord from my laptop would not fit the national wall sockets. Sadly this is especially a problem for Danes as our national standard for IT AC power plugs are slightly incompatible with many of our Europan neighbours, we apparently […]
Droidwall – firewall for Android
As you may have read I jumped on the Android wagon earlier, it’s a cool phone not quite as stylish as the iPhone but a LOT cheaper and more open. One annoying thing however is, that applications ALL seem to require obscure access to run – access to geolocation, access to sim card, access to […]
Windows Search in Windows 7
I was getting tired of the constant disk activity on my workstation, I have 1.5TB diskspace on it and Windows search seems to enjoy joyriding these disks as if it was surfing on sunny beach..

Jawbone Bluetooth
By coincidence I stumbled across an interesting gadget, it’s something called JawBone. Initially it seem like an ordinary blue-tooth headset, well it is but with a twist – it uses an elaborate background noise cancellation technology and it seem to do so very well indeed (watch video below). So if you use your blue-tooth headset […]
Forgotten Windows Password
The issue came up today when a coworker told about his Windows 2000 machine he had at home that he had forgotten the password for, now for corporate use we have the Microsoft ERD commander cd (previously Winternals) which works perfectly.. but that is for corporate use (SA license required).. Anyhow, I remembered there was […]
LG 22LU5000 HD LCD TV – Hackable
So I bought a new LCD TV for my bedroom, the old Sony 21″ 4.3 TV had finished it’s tour of duty. I ended up with a LG 22LU5000 22″ LCD tv YouTube video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pt8s_m6dFi0, mainly because of the price I have to say (DKK 1.750,- aprox € 233).. So how is it?; well picture […]
