This week, there’s a contribution to another communal article, this time about “Stupid Computer Problems.” My piece documents the ridiculous fight I’ve had trying to make my computer stop rattling. Luckily, someone at <a href=”http://www.quietpc.com”>quietpc.com</a> read it and is sending me a noise-reduction kit to try out for my troubles, so you can expect a review of that to show up in the pages of Micro Mart soon!
Oops. Forgot to mention this. Last week’s issue contained the first instalment of “Betawatch” which is a monthly column where I review beta versions of software to help you all stay on the bleeding edge of software releases. Pretty snazzy, no? If you’re reading this and you’ve got beta software you think would be appropriate to review, please leave a comment and let me know.
Latest issue of Micro Mart (on sale for the next 2 days!) has an article by me about blogging. It’s pretty superficial, being aimed at people who might want to start their own but don’t really know how to do it. It’s not a “how to install wordpress” thing. Part of my attempts to do something a little different from the usual reviews of plugins and software!
Oh, there’s also a contribution to a communal article about “favourite computer news stories” - I wrote about the legend of Atari’s buried ET cartridges!
My 4th feature for Micro Mart, available on shelves until Wednesday and priced only £2. I will no doubt put a scan up after the requisite 3 months have passed, but I encourage you all to go check me out in print. This article is about the Greasemonkey scripts I think are indispensible, and I tested a LOT of crap ones to find them, so you’d better all appreciate it.
I’ve got a feature in this week’s Micro Mart, Issue 1002 - the pun-tastically titled “See Inside Windows” - which recommends a bunch of applications that really help you turn Windows inside out and see the useful details of things that are going on that Microsoft, for whatever reason, keep from you. On shelves until this time next week, priced a thoroughly reasonable £2!
