This is the unboxing of a new product called Papershow. I've received this product to review and must send it back in 3 weeks, so don't think I'm getting free things. It's worth £100 and all I have to do is write a review on it :-) Papershow is like a small interactive whiteboard, but you write, with a pen, onto paper. All you need is the paper, the pen and a USB dongle. Unfortunately, the software that comes on the USB drive is for Windows only, and since I use a Mac, I couldn't use it on... Read Full Story

Whatever OS you use, whether it's Windows, Mac OS X or a distribution of Linux, you've probably come across things you want to change about it. You may want to add features, remove features tweak what's already available. If you're using Windows XP, with Microsoft's selection of PowerToys, you can do just that. A PowerToy is a program that adds functionality to the operating system. One of my favourite PowerToys is Teak UI. Tweak UI lets you tweak the operating system in ways that would... Read Full Story

You may remember, on the 26th of May, I made a blog post explaining that I would be uploading a new design for my website. Nearly a month later, nothing has changed. This is because I have been creating my own WordPress theme. WordPress (http://wordpress.org) is a blogging platform that you install on your web server. The advantage of doing this, over using a blogging service like blogger (the blogging service from Google that I am currently using), is you have full control over every file... Read Full Story

Wow! It's been half a year since the first episode of jak-eTvee was uploaded to YouTube, 'Access the Clipboard Viewer in Windows XP'. Since then I've had over 33,000 views, on YouTube alone, and gained 92 subscribers. If you are one of them, I thank you a lot for all of the support you have given me. I am now trying to upload a video per day, which is actually quite hard. So, hopefully, in another 6 months time, I'll be able to make a blog post thanking my 200 subscribers, or maybe even more...

These are two old videos. I made these before I got my Mac so the quality, especially that of the audio, isn't too good. In the first video, I explain how to download DSL (Damn Small Linux), which is a 50MB version of Linux, burn it to a CD, and use it as a live CD. This means that you can run it from the CD without installing it, thus, your current operating system will not be affected. The hard drive won't even be touched by linux. Ignore what I say at the end about the live stream. I AM... Read Full Story

As a viewer you probably know that I haven't been recording many videos lately. The reason for this is because I've filled up my hard drive. My Mac mini has an 80GB HDD which is very small, and I've managed to use 79GB of it. I have been unable to save videos to it, and recently, it has been in an unusable state as there is not enough hard drive space for virtual memory. To solve this problem, I bought an external hard drive. I chose a FREECOM HDD Classic with a massive 500GB of space... Read Full Story

As you can see, I have changed the template for my blog, unless you're reading this from somewhere else. This, however is not the biggest change, as I am yet to reveal my new jak-e.com design.
