Use more than 1 core when booting Windows
Faster Windows Booting!
For reasons that I don’t try to understand windows is designed by default to only boot using one core of your processor.
An easy setting will allow your computer to use the extra core(s) that your computer has, to help it boot faster.
I am using Microsoft Windows Vista ( but will drop XP Tips)
1.Start
2.type in the search bar ( msconfig ) “XP type this into run”
3.you will see msconfig at the top (click this)
4.inside msconfig click the tab “boot”
5.then click advanced options
6.then click on the processors drop down list and select the highest processors number.
7.click ok to save the changes and restart your computer if asked.

FEAR 2: Project Origin
I have just finished playing this brilliant game from monolith, after playing both fear and the expansion pack, extraction point, this game doesn’t compare to any of the older games, the graphic detail is mind blowing, and the storyline unlike fear doesn’t drag on in small buildings, your pushed outside to continue your quest.
This game is something really different when it comes to first person shooters, mixed and fuelled by the horror background of fear, project origin takes on a whole new feeling, of jump out your seat moments, but monolith have made it more bearable then games like Doom 3, which seem really hard to play, as your mind cant work out what is going on, but with the backup of your squad things feel a little bit more in control.
The Ai in this game is truly amazing, its like playing multiplayer where you can never be sure on how the enemy will react, making this game very unpredictable.
I think the guys at monolith have done a really good job on this one and cant wait to see what they create next time.
A game well worth buying and only £25.00 on steam! Buy NOW

Can’t upload files/images to a new wordpress installation
Feb 21st
Image upload problem – parent directory not writeable
I installed wordpress 2.7.1, which is at this time the currect version, only to find that i could not upload any content to my wordpress (eg images/files).
THE FIX
I found the fix by setting the premissions to 777 on all files, which allows wordpress to work properly.
Heres How:
1.download or open your ftp client (I use the paid version of smart ftp)
2.find the folder /www/yourwebsite.com/blog/wp-content
3.right click the folder content and click on properties
4.make sure read/write/exe are ticked for all
5.make sure you tick the apply to subfolders
6.click ok, you see your ftp client talking to the server
after a few seconds refresh your blog and try uploading something again.
