My Gmail looked different from what I was normally used to. The left-hand side menu bar was only displaying icons rather than the folder structures and menu names.

I wanted to share with you a tool I use for our Advertise Me work called MeshCommander. It’s an open-source tool to manage Intel AMT devices.

In a previous post “Configuring the Cisco ASA” I described how I configured the Cisco ASA and I mentioned about the Cisco AnyConnect client.

I just created this short video for our ePosters Interactive Digital Signage solution using a cloud-based tool called inVideo.

It’s a great opportunity for everyone to recognise and appreciate teachers and the role […]
I recently spent a few weeks updating our Advertise Me website. The website needed some tender love and care as it has been neglected over the years. The overall rankings on Google over the years has also dropped so I decided to take the initiative to make some changes with the hope of improving the […]

The word “someone” was incorrectly […]

A few days ago I used a Health Kiosk at Liverpool Hospital to check my health. It was free and I thought it would be interesting to see how my health was. I’m not sure how accurate it was but I seem to be doing OK with my health. The Kiosk asked for a few […]
