  1. Goodies for my latest project started arriving

    May 7th, 2010 at 11:29 am

    Mark Giorgio :

    is it a book?

    nope but I have built one of the components already. When I got some time I will take a photo of it and place it up maybe that helps you out.

    A little hint though we will be seeing a version of it tonight (a much much much better version).

  2. Microsoft Courier has been put on the shelf

    May 1st, 2010 at 10:52 am

    I agree I still haven’t found the point of having a tablet. Maybe for watching movies but for that I still prefer a PC or TV. Though this device would of been more useful than the devices that are coming out.

    Apple solution is just an over sized iPhone and most of the other solutions either modify Windows 7 or Android.

    This device would of had a specially designed OS for the job. Which would of made it useful.

  3. Everyone should watch this video at the start of their day

    April 21st, 2010 at 9:28 am

    really good video and my site is back online finally hehe

    got a back log of articles to place ;)

  4. Easier and Quicker Way to download MP3s

    April 3rd, 2010 at 1:46 pm

  5. Dating Service for Gamers

    April 3rd, 2010 at 1:45 pm

    yeah should be a honest service where real passionate gamers meet up.

    or else the least they can do is guarantee happy endings for the guys at LAN parties ;)

  6. Wordpress 500 Internal Server Error and GoDaddy

    Hi Malcolm
    Having the same problems with my wordpress site. Could you tell me where to find this web.config file? And what do I need to rename the web.config file or the sub directory?

    thanks a lot!

    Hello Ruch

    This didn’t completely solve the internal server error but allows you to to gain access back into your site. I went on your site and it is giving that error everywhere. If you FTP into the main directory where your wordpress site is installed you should find a file called web.config. You can either delete the file or you can rename the file so like this you can restore the file. You can rename it to anything. I usually place a number in the file name so it becomes web.config2.

    This should allow you access back into your site. The error was caused be I had changed the permalink settings. I noticed that on my host I can only have one working site which uses custom permalinks.

    I hope this helped. If you still have problems feel free to contact me.

    Malcolm

  8. Video Games might never be the same again

    Patrick Cachia Marsh :

    I don’t see how this would be a problem. Internet speeds are improving. You’re basically doing little more than streaming a picture from there to your pc. And youtube streams pretty damn fast. Okay so your end has to send signals too, but still. Technology is improving. PS ejja naghmlu bicca LAN guys!

    you saw at the LAN what happened when your ping went up 150ms. Now imagine that your ping has to stay constantly below 100ms while managing to transfer megabytes of data.

    finally there one more issue they have. On youtube you can pause the clip and wait for the video to buffer. There no way you can do this for this service.

    The final issue they have is the internet is made to transfer data but the order you send the data isn’t always the order the data is received and also data packets can be dropped (for the gamers out there this is what causes the CONNECTION INTERRUPTED errors)

  9. Video Games might never be the same again

    March 13th, 2010 at 3:24 pm

    it might actually work in Malta. The ping to EU countries has improved and if the ping remains below 100ms I think we might not notice the lag between the controls and the video feed.

    Malcolm Micallef getting you the latest stuff since 2 months ago ;)

  10. Video Games might never be the same again

    March 13th, 2010 at 2:13 pm

    yeah we might never need to buy another computer or console ever again to play latest games around. Just register for this service and then the set box for the television and you are set for life :S

    very exciting tech

  11. OK GO tops their previous video

    March 5th, 2010 at 6:22 pm

    yeah awesome video. I think its filmed in one take (one continuous recording)

    incredible

  12. Putting off formatting your computer?

    February 28th, 2010 at 8:02 pm

    Etienne Pellicano :

    pretty neat app. does this application inform you about new updates of the available software you can install?

    the program just installs the latest version of the programs. for updates the programs themselves have to inform you.

  13. Geocaching in Malta

    February 26th, 2010 at 7:07 pm

    Mark Giorgio :

    for completeness’ sake, in what did your previous mobile go swimming?

  17. Forget About Solar and Wind Power

    February 8th, 2010 at 7:44 am

    Etienne Pellicano :

    so it takes 15 minutes to illuminate a 2watt LED for 3 hours….how long will it take to use a laptop for 3 hours?

    I don’t think its their intention to charge laptops just LED lights and cellphones but I guess it depends on the skill of the footballers. If they are of high skill they can drive their Prius for miles…

  18. My Next Pet...

    February 5th, 2010 at 7:31 am

    Etienne Pellicano :

    i dont think its real. the video is cut. its not one whole uncut scene. and you dont really see the monkey attaching the video card to the motherboard. i would be quite cool if it was true. :) it would even do my assignments :P

    a monkey programming nahhhh that is too much

    but it can use its small hands to plug in the small tiny wires from the case to the laptop. I want a trained monkey hehehe

  19. Most Visited Sites of Malta

    February 1st, 2010 at 10:25 pm

    yeah I guess but I was more confused about the site xhamster. I was thinking some Maltese guy made a site to tribute his hamster or something when the site is really quite different lol

  20. Dedicated GPS Units are now useless

    January 30th, 2010 at 9:33 pm

    Etienne Pellicano :

    do you really need an internet connection to use the gps on a mobile? doesnt the gps connect to a satellite in space or something? :S

    if you using google maps yes because it gets all its data from the google servers. But on the nokia ovi you connect from your computer and download the map files onto the device so you don’t need to connect to the internet to get the mapping data.
