This will be my project in the next couple of weeks... N54L Microserver 8GB RAM - Kingston Hyperx Blu (Non ECC) 64GB SSD (SanDisk) - For OS Asus HD 6450 2GB Pioneer Blu-Ray Drive Windows 8 Pro 250GB HDD (standard N54L drive - Further drives to be added) Will be modifying the BIOS to allow the full speed on the internal SATA and the eSATA connections as the internal one will have the SSD attached with the OS and I will be velcro-ing it somewhere. After that, add some cables and a logitech mouse/keyboard. The above upgrades have to be completed by me as the standard N54L is basic.

Today marks the end of the 2011 Formula 1 season... It was a good season, just wish it could have been more competitive. Also, 2012 will only have 50% of the races on BBC, that's very unfortunate!

[ukjonathanmatthews]

Well, I'm finally back to put some more stuff on here.. And the best thing is, its about F1 being back after their summer break, woop!

So, this weekend is the Belgian grand prix. Don't miss it!

This weekend for Formula 1... Germany!

Qualifying over, and Vettel has finally been knocked off the front row of the grid into 3rd place, with Webber getting pole and Hamilton placed 2nd. With a chance of rain, this could be one very exciting race.

This weekend.... Silverstone!

Who will get pole, and who will win this weekend?

Google vs Facebook - Round 4 now?

Looks like Google is starting a new social network called Google+. Looks like it has a concept of creates 'circles' of people you know for example: Friends, Work, Hobbies, etc. I quite like the new thinking, and would like to see how it progresses in the future.

What are your thoughts on it? - Post below!

Valencia race over, Vettel takes victory followed by Alonso and Webber in 2nd and 3rd respecitvely. Hamilton took 4th, with Button in 6th. An OK race, but I don't think it had the excitement that previous races have had...

[ukjonathanmatthews]

Qualifying done. Of course Vettel is in pole position, but at least Hamilton is in 3rd place. Now just for the race tomorrow....

This weekend for Formula 1... Valencia!

Today, I upgraded my laptop processor to a T8300 from a T7300. Not a bad project to do opening up a laptop and changing the processor, and now it means that I have a more powerful processor which should increase the overall speed of my laptop slightly (as it increased the RAM speed also) but also it will run cooler. Obviously, this is nothing in comparison to the current laptop processors....

Well, it looks like the HTC Desire will get an update to Android 2.3 (Gingerbread). Will have to wait and see WHEN it will happen, and if it will run well, but it should get it. As I thought, with soo many Desire users, it would have been difficult not to listen to them....

[ukjonathanmatthews]

Unfortunately, it looks like HTC Desire owners will no longer get anymore updates... The HTC Desire will now be stuck on Android 2.2 (Froyo) forever, unless people take 'unofficial' routes to upgrade.

I suggest looking at XDA-Developers for different ways of upgrading. I haven't done it myself yet, however I will be looking into it for the future. Will keep you updated...

Update: Please see my updated post for more recent information...

Nintendo annouces new console - the Wii U - however it won't be available for another 12 months yet and the videos about the release games were taken from the PS3 and Xbox 360... You will also be able to use a fancy new controller, which I'm still undecided on. Controller: http://e3.nintendo.com/_ui/img/hw/playstyle/hardware/2b.jpg
