Effectively using em’s
After smashing my head against the spiked wall that IE5.x and CSS is attempting, in vain, to get em’s to behave properly so users can resize their own fonts and I can have some control over them myself I decided to have a snoop around. I can’t remember how I got there now, but I…

Overclocking Hardware
I’m seriously contemplating swapping my Abit NF7-Sv2 out for a DFI NFII Ultra Infinity. They’re both based on the NVIDIA nForce2 Ultra 400 chipset, but the NF7-S doesn’t seem to like my RAM 🙁 I’ve got 2 sticks of KHX PC3000 and my rig will just not stabilise if I run the RAM at anything…

First Post!
FIRST POST! YEEEEEAH! Well it’s my first ever, and now you all know I’m a nerd, oh well *shrug*. Thought I’d see what all the kerfuffle was about with Blogger and stuff, so I clicked a coupla styled buttons and graphics and here it is. It really is stupidly easy to setup (if this actually…
