  • A look at the old and new Google+

    Today, Google rolled out a new look Google+ after the announcement at Google I/O 2013.

    I managed to get a screenshot of the old and the new one (The old one was taken on the computer, while the new one was taken on the laptop.)

    Old:

    New:

    new googleplus

    UPDATE:
    My monitor is a big monitor, and I just seen this. This looks like Facebook theatre mode but a lot nicer. On a smaller browser size (1366×768), the comment box goes back to the bottom. This was a nice change. Also, that nav bar at the top is very nice.

    I for one love the new layout of Google+ and I will be using it more in the coming days, weeks and months to come.

    If you haven’t ‘circled’ me on Google+, head on over to my Google+ page now 🙂

  • Oh look a new gaming community…again…Part II

    Nope. It’s not G&G. And it’s not VGIRE! It’s about Cyber Enemy!

    Hey folks! In January of this year, I asked a few friends on Facebook whether they would like to create a clan of some kind and a couple of people got back to me and after some talking, we decided to create Cyber Enemy.

    It was great, we had the site up and running, we had the YouTube channel up and running and videos were being uploaded to it! We kept posting for about 3-4 weeks and then one of the co-leaders (who I will not name), decided to join his other friends and create a new clan for his BF3 friends. I was a touch saddened by the news, but I was expecting it.

  • Computer Issues (2nd May 2013)

    You may recall about 3 weeks ago, I made a post about my Desktop having issues.

    Luckily this time, it isn’t my desktop, but rather my 3-month old Toshiba laptop!

    rage-crazy-rage

     It began at about 11am on Thursday 2nd May. I was about to go for my Tea-Break at work and I always lock the computer (WinKey+L), and the screen went blank. Side note: The computer was working perfectly before this happened. No lock screen came up. I thought nothing of it and just went for my tea-break.

    Came back and it was still a black screen. I couldn’t login or anything so, I turned off the laptop using the power button. When I pressed that button again to turn it on. Shit hit the fan!

  • Computer Issues (12th April 2013)

    UPDATE: I have fixed the issue. I have reinstalled Windows 8. I am going to bed now.

    Good evening folks. I hope you are keeping well.

    I am having computer issues this evening! My USB’s are refusing to work in Windows 8!

    (Just saying this now, don’t bash Windows 8 because of ‘Metro’,’ Modern UI’ or similar. I am not here to hear your bitching about it. I am here looking for help and nothing more. I am not being a fanboy here, but if I see comments which is not related to helping me, they will be removed!)

    When I boot my computer, I get presented with grub (Linux bootloader) because I have both Windows 8 and Linux Mint 14 installed. I doubt it is Linux that is causing this issue, because I have hardly been using Linux since I installed it (To be honest, I haven’t found the time to be using it.)

    Anyway, I have set by default to boot to Windows 8 and that is all grand and dandy!

    The Windows 8 lock screen appears. I press the Space Bar on my keyboard to ‘swipe’ the lock screen away so I can enter my password. Nope. Won’t do that! Mouse? Nope!

    I check the lights on the Razer BlackWidow Keyboard (No hating please) and the light is on to detect that the keyboard is working. NOTE: I could use my keyboard in the grub menu to change from Windows to Linux Mint. And I am currently writing this post in Linux Mint, so obviously there is nothing wrong with the keyboard or mouse.

    I have disconnected all the USB’s from the back of the computer and put them all back in, with the same results.

    I thought, “How about Remote Desktop?” Nope! I use a USB Wireless Dongle to connect to the internet and I also have PCI Wireless card but I can’t choose that card, since I can only have one card selected at a time.

    I can’t do System Restore because Windows wants me to reboot into Windows 8 to do it!

    PS2 Keyboard = Nope

    AAGH! I honestly have no idea how to get around it. If anyone has any ideas or methods that I could try to rectify this situation, then please comment below.

    Thank you 🙂
