Spicing up an old Toshiba Satellite Pro 4300 (well, 4360 to be precise) for Filip, it struck me as very odd that there aren’t any affordable “surfpads” with similar performance. At least I haven’t seen any. Granted, the PIII-700 in the 4360 is a bit …
“Swift is a fully OOP Library for sending e-mails from PHP websites and applications. It does not rely on PHP’s native mail() function which is known for using high server resources when sending multiple emails. Instead, Swift communicates directly with an SMTP server or a …
The Internet is full of software gems, no doubt about it. The problem is, of course, that when you’re on the lookout for one specific piece of software, it’s not so hard to find it. But when you’re constantly (and mostly passively) trying to improve …

One annoying thing about cool laptops is that they aren’t really all that cool, at least not when it comes to placing them in your lap and working with them for countless hours. Research show that boys/guys/men, in particular, may run into problems with hot …
Having gotten used to the Zip-Linq mini-mouse with the retractable chord, I was worried that I wouldn’t feel equally happy with the two targus wireless mice I got for the two laptops here at home. After having unpacked them both and plugged them in, I …
