Do not attribute to conspiracy what incompetence can explain
I’ve got a Logitech 250 headset, which I mainly use for Skype calls. All of a sudden though, it’s been producing the most awful crackling sound, making it effectively unusable.
Anyone know what the problem might be?
Update: Whatever it was, it’s sorted itself now. How odd.
One of the cool things about a single pound being worth more than $2 is that geeks like me can buy domain names on the cheap.
For example, the other week I got a .net domain for less than a fiver. Also, at GoDaddy at the moment, you can buy a .info domain for $0.99, which comes out after taxes and stuff at just over 60p! OK, so the .info domain is the spammers’ favourite, but it’s still worth doing at that price.

Note the hilariously positioned bird poo.
Am pretty impressed with Google Groups, having had the need to play with it for a couple of days.
Following the makeover that Living Without Microsoft has recently been given – and the upturn in activity that the site has seen as a result – I’ve been beavering away on WikiSpaces putting together a wiki for resources on how people can get away from using Microsoft’s products.
You can find it at http://lwm.wikispaces.com. If you’ve got anything to add, then go for it!
Since I started Free as in Beer, I’ve come across a few of apps which have become essential:
If anyone who reads this blog has some favourite freebies, let me know!
I had no idea that writing blog posts for future release was so easy with WordPress!
All you have to do is edit the “timestamp” for the post when you write it to be the day in the future when you want it published, and it automatically appears for you on that day – so simple!
This is ideal for Free as in Beer, where I write quick posts on no cost software. Sometimes I come across more than one cool app in a day, but using this method I can line them all up for publication.
