By day, and most nights, I work from home as a web developer and technical consultant. This often involves spending long hours at a hot computer, poring through computer code or designing user interfaces.
Whilst I love technology, I also enjoy spending time in the beautiful British countryside. Luckily I am based on the northern flank of Dartmoor National Park in Devon, South West England. With the high moor on one side and undulating fields stretching out in all other directions, I am quite literally spoiled for places to walk and explore. Those times when I fancy something a little different, I pop down the road into Cornwall or head over to one of the stunning Devon coasts.
Landscape photography is the perfect complement to my love of Devon and the natural world. It gives me time for quiet contemplation, fresh air and plenty of exercise. I find looking through the lens of a camera, watching the play of light over the landscape or perhaps waiting for a sunrise, to be the ultimate form of relaxation - pure, unadulterated escapism.
Photography-wise I am entirely self taught from books, magazines and the Internet. Not to mention many days field-work! I shoot RAW photos using a Digital SLR camera and apply minimal post-processing before publishing my images. Whilst I have a respect and understanding for the rules of composition I also believe in seizing the moment and shooting from the hip - gut instinct has served me well on many occasions.
I love to photograph all kinds of subjects, and experiment with other genres besides landscapes. However if there is one common theme running throughout my photography it has to be my pursuit of natural light and shadow. I am a light addict, pure and simple. I often wait for days, maybe weeks, just to get the right light - but when I do manage to capture one of those magic moments it all seems worthwhile.
You may have seen my images published around the Internet? Unlike many other photographers I firmly believe in sharing my photographs and letting as many people enjoy and benefit from them as possible. This is why most of my photographs, including all the pictures on this website, are released under the Creative Commons Non-Commercial license. If that doesn't mean much to you, please read my image licensing page which explains everything clearly.
Now just because I have adopted the Creative Commons it doesn't mean that my images don't get published. Far from it - in fact my decision has dramatically increased my visibility far more than paid advertising ever could. I am privileged to have had photographs published in several paperback books, newspapers, magazines, college textbooks, research papers, conservation brochures, postcards, calendars and even shown on TV. Plus a growing number of commercial websites can be seen with my photographs, especially local businesses in the South West.
If you'd like to know more, please follow my social networks. Thank you for visiting.
Please don't be shy - I love to hear from people who have an opinion on my photography ...
Or via my social networks?

VALEXTRA DEAL NEARS: Sources in Milan say Valextra is close to finalizing a deal to sell a stake to London-based private equity fund Neo Capital and that former Bally chief executive officer Marco Franchini is in pole position to helm the luxury accessories firm. A company spokesman had no comment on the speculation on Thursday.
As reported in WWD last month, Valextra is the latest Italian company mulling an initial public offering as chairman and ceo Emanuele Carminati Molina said he was discussing the future of the brand with a number of private equity funds, including Neo Capital, to expand Valextra and eventually go public.
After seven years, Franchini left Bally in spring 2009 for personal reasons after orchestrating a major overhaul, tapping Brian Atwood as creative director and returning the company to the black.

On Wednesday, a memorial service will take place for 51-year-old Gordon Cowden, who took his two teenage children to see a midnight premiere of the new Batman movie"The Dark Knight Rises."Cowden's children survived.
Nine miles away, visitation will take place for Micayla Medek, a 23-year-old woman who was working toward her college degree.
Actor Christian Bale, star of "The Dark Knight Rises," surprised residents in Aurora on Tuesday when he visited a memorial for the victims and met with survivors of the shooting spree, CNN affiliate KDVR reported.
One of the victims, Carey Rottman, posted a picture of Bale visiting him in his hospital room on Facebook.
"Wow!!! Thank you so much for the visit Christian!! What a great guy! Still in shock!," Rottman wrote, according to KDVR.
Amid the tragedy, other survivors also had reasons to celebrate.
Petra Anderson suffered four shotgun wounds, including one in her head. But thanks in part to a brain abnormality, she survived, her pastor said.
"The doctor explains that Petra's brain has had from birth a small 'defect' in it. It is a tiny channel of fluid running through her skull, like a tiny vein through marble, or a small hole in an oak board, winding from front to rear," Brad Strait of Cherry Creek Presbyterian Church in Englewood, Colorado, wrote on his blog.
"Like a marble through a small tube, the defect channels the bullet from Petra's nose through her brain. It turns slightly several times, and comes to rest at the rear of her brain. And in the process, the bullet misses all the vital areas of the brain. In many ways, it almost misses the brain itself," he said.
Anderson has started physical and speech therapy and is able to walk, talk and laugh, said Andrew Roblyer, a family friend.
And shooting victim Caleb Medley and his wife, Katie, welcomed newborn son Hugo Jackson Medley on Tuesday morning. Both the mother and baby were doing well, the University of Colorado Hospital said.
But Caleb Medley, who was shot in the head, lost an eye and suffered brain damage.
"The surgeon came and talked to us and said he'd be in ICU at least a week," said Medley's friend, Michael West, who set up a website to help take care of medical bills and the needs of Medley's family.
"I knew it was going to rack up in the hundreds of thousands, if not millions," West said of his friend's medical expenses.
Medley, who had been doing standup comedy routines in Denver and was working full-time at Target, had no health insurance, his brother Seth said.
Money are also streaming into GivingFirst.org, which is accepting donations for victims and relatives of the shooting. By Tuesday, the amount had reached almost $2 million, Gov. John Hickenlooper said.
"The needs will be great and we look forward to seeing the fund grow exponentially," he said. "This money will help those impacted by this tragedy begin to recover and rebuild their lives."
Hickenlooper said donors includeWarner Bros.and Legendary Pictures, co-producers of "The Dark Knight Rises."
Sources at Warner Bros. studios told CNN that the company made a "substantial" donation. Warner Bros., a subsidiary of CNN's parent company Time Warner, would not divulge how much money it was giving out of respect for the victims, the sources said.
Meanwhile, the suspect in last week's shooting rampage is scheduled to be formally charged July 30.
James E. Holmesmade his first court appearance on Monday. Looking dazed at times, the man identified himself to police as "the Joker" gave little indication that he was paying attention in court. He will continue to be held without bond.
Holmes had booby-trapped his Aurora apartment with more than 30 homemade grenades and 10 gallons of gasoline, a law enforcement official who viewed video showing the apartment's interior has told CNN.
The sophisticated setup at the sparsely furnished third-floor, one-bedroom apartment was meant to harm, or possibly kill, anyone who entered -- and tested the skills of bomb squad members charged with clearing it.
"Imagine that fireball ... you would have an explosion that would knock down the wall of (nearby) apartments," the official said Monday. "That flame would have consumed the entire third floor."
The Holmes family issued a statement Friday saying, "Our hearts go out to those who were involved in this tragedy and to the families and friends of those involved." It added, "We are still trying to process this information."
CNN's Poppy Harlow, Dana Ford, Breeanna Hare, Alta Spells, Ed Lavandera, Nick Valencia and Jessica Jordan contributed to this report.

TEAYS VALLEY - Over the past month, the region's weather conditions have oscillated between hot and wet, and just plain hot.
That erratic weather has taken a toll on the productivity of the region's hay farmers this summer.
Will Legg, 18, an employee of Valdeacourt Farms in Putnam County, said the less-than-favorable conditions have slowed down hay cultivation and harvesting operations considerably.
"For hay, to do just one field, you need at least three dry days. You need a day to cut it, a day for it to sit and dry - preferably two - and another day to bale it," he said. "We can't really get in the fields if there's six inches of water standing in the low spots."
Normally, a hay farmer is able to get two to three harvests per field over the course of a cultivation season lasting from mid-May to October.
This year, Legg said many of the fields on the 300-acre farm probably wouldn't be viable enough to warrant a second cutting.
"We end up cutting a field, then it rains on it and we're done," he said. "People won't buy hay if it's been rained on."
Legg said the extreme heat has caused rapid growth of weeds and other undesirable plants, which cut down on the amount of actual hay produced.
"There's more in the fields, but less of the good stuff," he said.
According to the National Weather Service, the region had a total of 7.12 inches of rainfall in June as compared to the average of 4.09 inches.
June also saw three days where temperatures reached 89 degrees, a rarity in a month with a normal average temperature of 83.

On the morning of 9/12/11, I was amazed to see a hot air balloon out of my living room window. It was floating just over the tree tops across the street from my home. I rushed outside with my camera in hand to capture the image of the brightly colored balloon. Never before had I seen one so close.
On the street, traffic was stropped to gaze and the spectacular event. Neighbors came out of their homes gapping in amazement.
It was a wonderful chance to rekindle friendships with people we had not talked to for months.

The art curriculum at Dodd Middle School is designed to incorporate English lan-guage and writing skills. Art teacher, Peter Parlagreco, taught his students just how vital the role of artwork is in literature. By using well-known children's book illustrator Eric Carle as an inspiration, the students learned to use art as a way to depict fables.

To date, "more than 128 houses owned by elderly or low-income families have benefited from the program. In cess in the northeast neighborhoods thanks to this program. It has been a win-win for the vil-lage by helping homeowners, improving neighborhoods and preserving valuable hous-ing stock for future generations." C£0 BID Ktatsty of CDCU and Mayor 81 Glacken took part in planting a tree dedicated to Mrs. Saly Simpson's late father. A MESSAGE FROM [AYOR °t's Memorial Day Parade was Major Success / cr The catastrophic destruction in the Gulf Coast from Hurricane Katrina is esti-mated by the federal government at approximately $100 billion in property damage, with more than 1,300 lives lost. The devastation caused by that storm was a horrifying wake-up call for every coastal community in the United States. jaration Last month the National Hurricane Center (NHC), a division of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, sponsored a Hurricane Preparedness Week to emphasize the need for coastal commu-nities to prepare for storms of major pro-portion. The NHC predicts that the north-east coastline could be hit by a category 3 hurricane within the next few years. As a waterfront community, Freeport knows firsthand the destruction caused by serious storms. During the past nine years, the Glacken Administration has taken steps to protect residents and businesses from the devastation of such events. The village, with Superintendent of Buildings Joe Madigan, and assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, has raised more than 20 houses located in low-lying areas. The structures were ele-vated by as much as six feet above the base flood elevation level. For the first time in decades, these homeowners no longer face major damage to their homes with each heavy storm. Freeport has established an Emergency Management Team and has equipped its office with the latest high-tech computers required to measure pending storms. Using highly sensitive devices, including a tidal gauge, the team, led by Ex-Fire Chiefs Richard Holdener and Don Rowan, is better able to predict the amount of flooding and the possible need to evacu-ate. The EMT includes representatives from the Police, Fire, Buildings and Pubic Works Departments, as well as the Electric and Water Utilities, ensuring full coopera-tion- and-immediate-action in the event of an emergency. These pre-storm efforts will help miti-gate destruction and loss of life in the event of a major storm. The next step requires the public to stay informed, be prepared and follow the directions issued by the EMT. Through the emergency hotline, 516- 377-2400, the EMT will alert residents of the threat of a dangerous hurricane. Information concerning flooding, the need to re-locate vehicles, or an evacua-tion order, will be recorded on the hotline for residents to call in and hear. That information also will be relayed to people in the affected area by the reverse 911-phone service. The system delivers a recorded message to designated phone numbers, and a message is left on the answering machine if the occupants are not available. Siren blasts are another method of alerting residents of an emergency. The sirens are tested on the first Saturday of the month at 12 noon. A blast at other times indicates a serious problem and you are advised to call the hotline number, 516-377-2400 for information and instruc-tions. A siren blast every 15 minutes sig-nals an evacuation in progress. Details of the emergency will be broadcast on local radio stations WGBB, WHLI, WKJY; the cable television station News 12, and New York City stations NBC 4, CBS 2, ABC 7, and FOX 5. In addition, emergency instructions will be posted on the village's website at www.freeportny.gov. Emergency Plans Everyone should have an emergency plan that covers what to do if you are ordered to evacuate. Keep critical supplies readily available, including fresh batteries for radios and flashlights, bottled water, canned foods that can be eaten without cooking, backup prescription medications, a first aid kit and identification papers. Always have some cash on hand and at least a half tank of gasoline in your car. If you are instructed to evacuate your home and go to a shelter, you will need blankets or sleeping bags, protective clothing, rainwear, toiletries, and,--if-you-have young children, items to occupy them for several hours. Individuals with special needs should contact the Emergency Management Office at 516-377-2188 to make arrange-ments for assistance in evacuating or for special access to utilities. Smoking, alco-holic beverages, weapons and pets are not allowed in public shelters. Contact your veterinarian well in advance of the hurri-cane season for recommendations on where to bring your pets in an emergency. If you have to evacuate, and no public shelter is available, have a backup plan to go to the home of a friend or relative, or a motel located to the north of Freeport (in the event of flooding). Make sure every-one in the family knows the phone num-ber of a person who will be able to take messages and re|ay information to others in the event of separation. Preparation is the key to protection. Freeport has received national awards in recognition of its flood mitigation efforts. Spend some time this summer putting together a family emergency plan and practice it well in advance of an emer-gency. Remember, your property can always be replaced, but nothing can replace your life. Stay safe. Great weather and hundreds of marchers brought out large crowds of local residents and visitors to view Freeport's annual Memorial Day Parade. This year the parade chairman was Stephen A. Nicolino, succeed-ing the late Charles Jackson, who had served as chairman of the event for 27 years. Mayor Bill Glacken paid tribute to Mr. Jackson, a past commander of the American Legion William Clinton Story Post #342, prais-ing him for his contributions to Freeport and his devotion to his country. The Mayor also thanked Mr. Nicolino, who also served as Commander of the local American Legion Post, for his work in putting together this year's parade...,. .,_.,,"...-, ,_-."",,- , ,._..^MoYor,Trustee$,other.elect&d,oflitials,.veteram^ Mayor Glacken cited the beginnings of the celebration of Memorial Day dating back to the Civil War and added, "today we remember all the brave vet-erans, men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice so that their fellow country-men could live in a free soci-ety.

Trustee Miller also praised the members for their efforts to encour-age respect for the American flag. "This flag is a symbol of everything we hold dear to us as a nation, including our constitution, our freedom, and our hard-won- liberty." Guest speaker U.S. Marine Corps Reservist Sgt.

New parking meters text you when time's running out
Your cellphone rings. You've got a text message. It's your parking meter calling.By: Larry Sandler, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Your cellphone rings. You've got a text message.
It's your parking meter calling.
The meter wants to let you know that it's about to expire. But if you need more time, you can text it back and tell it to charge your credit card for some extra minutes.
Starting this summer, parking meters in Milwaukee and Madison will be exchanging texts just like that with motorists, and the system eventually could make its way to Duluth. It's the latest upgrade to technology that lets parking meters take credit cards.
Drivers have been able to pay by credit card at some meters for about five years in Milwaukee and about a year and a half in Madison. But meters that send text messages are something new.
"I never would have imagined this even five years ago," said Bill Knobeloch, Madison parking operations manager.
Duluth parking manager Matthew Kennedy said he knows the new technology well, having used early versions as long as seven years ago. He said using a variety of parking options around the city in trial runs is a possibility as the city streamlines its parking system under the company it hired in April to oversee operations, Interstate Parking Company.
In the Wisconsin cities, motorists park in a numbered space, walk over to a meter that serves multiple parking places and punch in the number of their space. Then they have a choice of paying by cash or credit card for the number of minutes they want.
With the upgraded systems, the meters will ask credit card customers to enter their cellphone numbers if they want a text when their time is running out. Because those motorists already have entered their credit card numbers at the meter, they can respond to the texts with only the number of extra minutes they want, without texting their credit card information, according to Digital Payment Technologies, the Canadian manufacturer of the LUKE meters deployed in Milwaukee.
While Duluth has automated parking in Canal Park and in some ramps, completely new systems would be needed to match the technology, Kennedy said. Right now, the 48 on-street spots in Canal Park require paying at a station and returning to the car to display a receipt as proof of payment. The ramps have pay meters in stairwells that calculate and charge for the time parked and distribute cards to swipe at the exit to the ramps.
Neither could be simply programmed to accept the technology seen in Wisconsin, Kennedy said.
That convenience comes with a cost. In addition to the regular parking rates, Milwaukee customers will pay a 25-cent fee for each extension they authorize by text. That fee will be 45 cents in Madison, which uses meters manufactured by Metric Parking, of Mount Laurel, N.J.
Knobeloch says that's a good deal.
"How many times have you been somewhere and didn't want to run back (to plug your meter)?" Knobeloch asked. "To pay an extra 25 cents or 45 cents to save $20 or $30 or whatever the (parking) tickets are … what a service."
Shirley Krug, administrative services director for the Milwaukee Department of Public Works, also cited customer convenience as a major reason for the change. But the pay-by-phone system can increase revenue for the cities, because more customers will be able to pay on time instead of letting their meters run out, said Alan Menezes, vice president for product management and marketing at Digital Payment Technologies headquarters in the Vancouver suburb of Burnaby, B.C.
Knobeloch agreed meter revenue probably would rise, but added that parking ticket revenue probably would fall.
Kennedy said he will continue to have conversations with downtown and Canal Park business owners and parkers about options for Duluth.
"There's a tremendous upside for parking in Duluth," he said of providing convenience for parkers and profit for the city. "We're talking to everyone."

Inability to prosecute Somali pirates frustrates Ottawa
Wednesday, 25 January 2012 | 11:00
The Harper government has wanted the navy to play a bigger role in battling Somali pirates in the waters off East Africa, but has been stymied about what to do with potential prisoners, documents reveal.
The international effort to contain the pirating of commercial shipping in the Gulf of Aden and beyond is something Canada "strongly supports" and it provides the perfect, low-risk venue for the country to showcase its military ability.
A series of briefing notes, obtained by The Canadian Press under Access to Information from Defence Minister Peter MacKay's office and the chief of maritime staff, show the eagerness over the last two years to take on a renewed mission.
But the enthusiasm is tempered by the reality that once caught, there's no place to try pirates.
"While international law provides that any state may take jurisdiction over piracy in international water, counter-piracy efforts off the coast of Somalia continue to be hampered by a lack of authority in domestic laws, as well as by questions concerning jurisdiction over apprehended individuals suspected of piracy and related crimes," said Nov. 3, 2010 memo to Robert Fonberg, the deputy defence minister.
Aside from the legalities, there is also a hard political reality.
Canada's land forces grappled with the politically-explosive detainee controversy during the Afghanistan combat mission.
The last time a Canadian warship captured pirates in April 2009, it was forced to release them because of the jurisdictional void. Documents show the government was chastened and federal bureaucrats struggled to address what they termed the "catch-and-release conundrum" of Somali pirates.
Vice-Admiral Paul Maddison, the head of the Royal Canadian Navy, said the problem has yet to be solved.
"Different nations are doing different things here," he said in a recent interview with The Canadian Press. "And I don't think we're going to see a burning desire for an international consensus on a new international legal regime in terms of detention."
That may be a bit of an understatement.
The nations doing most of the pirate-hunting thought they had it figured out in 2010 when a series of countries signed agreements with Kenya, Somalia's neighbour in the Horn of Africa, to prosecute captured pirates.
Canada's deal was signed on January 12, 2010. It allowed for the transfer of prisoners and prosecution under Kenyan law, but less than three months later, the country backed out.
Similar arrangements with China, Denmark, the European Union and the U.S. also collapsed. The problem was Kenyan courts were flooded with suspects and that strained its justice system.
The international community has tried to persuade Kenya to reconsider, without much success. Canadian officials say they might be able to deal with the Republic of Mauritius, a tiny island nation east of Madagascar.
In the run-up to the agreement with Kenya, Canada contributed $740,000 to a United Nations program that helped build a new court to try pirates in its Indian Ocean port city of Mombassa.
Since 2008, Canada has sent six warships to the region and even took a turn commanding the international flotilla that runs the mission.
Maddison said it is important that the international community not let the issue slide.
"My concern is that folks around the world will observe what they have seen ... in the Somali basin, and see this as an opportunity for illegal activity," he said.
The United States has begun bringing captured pirates before its courts, but there is no indication the Harper government is prepared to go down that road, especially since it would almost certainly extend Canadian constitutional protections to the foreign prisoners.
A March 2010 briefing note from the chief of defence staff shows there has been active discussion about deploying a CP-140 Aurora patrol plane to aid in surveillance of suspected ships and the commercial vessels they prey upon.
The navy's internal debate about legal status has been more intense and precise, according to a briefing given to Maddison's predecessor, retired vice-admiral Dean McFadden.
"Pirates are not combatants -- they cannot be lawfully targeted," said undated 2010 slide presentation called Achieving Maritime Effect.
"Counter-piracy operations are therefore not combat operations. They are law enforcement type operations."
The briefing emphasized the need for evidence collection when a pirates are detained. For now, navy orders are to conduct disruption, which means gathering information on suspects, destroying weapons, equipment and ladders.

Rip-off PC shops exposed in the UK
According to the study that took place in London, only one of six shops surveyed actually repaired the problems created. The rest overcharged or misdiagnosed the problem, as well as some shops who went pouring through the contents of the machines' hard drive. The worst of them was actually caught pilfering passwords for various online accounts, ranging from emails and eBay to online bank accounts. The article undoubtedly raises the question of how widespread corrupt repair shops are.
Studies and results like this are not rare. Last year, there was another survey that showed similar repair shop horror stories. Though there's not much we can do about it, it's nice to know that there is plenty of room for quality work so if you know a tech who does a good job, toss them a thanks. There are plenty of good techs out there, and unscrupulous ones only make it harder for them.

About a month ago there was a similar consumer protection article floating around - unfortunately I can't find it. But these consumer advocates simply unplugged the hard drive and then shopped it around at various repair places to see who was honest and who was not. For the most part (especially at the small "mom and pop" computer repair businesses), they plugged the hard drive back in and returned the PC with no charge. HOWEVER...they took it to Best Buy where the "Geek Squad" told them that the PC had all sorts of issues, was out of date, blah, blah, blah... and the best solution was to buy a new one, They then proceeded with a heavy-handed sales pitch.
I've told my non-tech friends in no uncertain terms to never take a "broken" PC to a repair shop until I've had a chance to check it out. Many of them have been burned for hundreds of dollars and duped into buying expensive and worthless anti-virus utilities to "fix" their problem. It's disgusting...
Well, although I am not a certified IT repair tech, yet. I sure am glad that I know how to work and diagnose my own PC. I only wish that I knew how to work on cars. :/

No shock there by any means, in my own town I see it and can't stand it. I'm like Tom on this I tell ALL my friends/family come to me FIRST before anyone else. I even had "family friends" overcharge a family member for a simple fix that would have taken me a few minutes and be free. With more and more novice PC users I don't see this really changing. Kind of like some of the mechanics out there - fix one thing break another. The fields reputation has taken a beating.
There are a lot of "strange" repairshops out there, but also some of these tests of them are not well executed. Seen a big test they did in Sweden.
They did similar to the Best Buy and Geeksquad story above.
They unplugged a cable, changed a small value in the bios or something simple.
The problem with this test was that they came in, described the problem. ...alot of techs responded by saying it sounded like a harddrive failure, and so would I have.
They say a price to fix it, if the harddrive in fact is broken.... Then the "fake" customer left the shop. The Tech never got a chance to look at the machine! Im sure that most of the repair shops would have plugged in the cable and resturned the computer to the custumer, once they open the machine and see the cable is disconnected....but the person conducting the test has tried to simulate a filed harddrive. Sure they will get that answer, that the HDD probably is broken and gice a estimated price to fix the computer.
Some stores they actually got a chance to fix the machine, and most of them found the problem easy and told the customer the correct problem, and taking a service change, och sometimes returning the fixed computer for free. Others never got a change, they estimated a price, the fake customers left, just so they could point to the stores they wanted and claim they werent serious.
Its all in how the test is conducted as well .
I have seen computer shops with the only intention to take as much of your money as they possibly can. I have found ways to spot these types of organizations by watching their mannerisms.
At a good shop with employees that work with only the best intentions for their customers seem to be passionate about the work they do and will talk to you about the problems your computer is having. Where as a rip off shop will give you a sudden quick and usually pricey response to your problems with no options or understanding of what the problem is. You can tell by how quickly they are trying to get your approval for changes and new parts and send you out the door.
I have never been rushed for any decision without a good conversation with options on the table when dealing with a computer shop that is legitimate.
To sum it up, look for a computer tech shop that is interested in your computer and interested in making you comfortable with any changes. If you feel uncomfortable or uncertain it is usually a good chance you're getting ripped off.
No surprise here at all. I once got a machine back with a knackered hard drive, was told it must have been that way before I handed it in but they would be happy to sell me another one. I started doing all this stuff for myself after that,
Another store wanted £40 for a RAID controller and another £40 to fit it! They would not sell it on its own, it was them fitting it for the extra £40 or nothing. I told them what I thought of that and never went back in.
Another place sold stuff I KNEW was old returns. When I bought the stuff back they shouted at me and told me I broke it deliberately and that they "see this all the time."
Another place sold packs of 500 blank CDs, any randomly selected one did not work, producing a coaster. On return, their story was that there was no warranty and no refund available. When asked to see the manager they said "he's busy."
Cowboys. Bloody cowboys.
Someone should start a website to rate these PC shops so you can check if they are cowboys.
I've seen plenty of it myself.
I have clients come to me after they've been (often times unknowingly) burned by Geek Squad etc... and often times, what used to be a $500 motherboard replacement turns out to be a $65 PSU swap or a $99 power jack sodlering. $400 LCD screen replacements turn out to be a $65 inverter swap... A $1000 data recovery job turns out to be something chkdsk fixes...
Often times, these things are true after a supposedly *proper* diagnosis that the client has already paid for. Mistakes happen, but this is just awful. Simply awful.
I've also worked for a small-time, 'dirty' computer shop before. I couldn't take enough showers to clean myself off after a dishonest day's work. I kept myself from being inolved with *most* of the crap, but I'll never do that again. Never.
I like to believe that the majority of shops are decent, not much more than the 'majority'. Also, I imagine mechanics aren't much better.
Its seems from my experience the 'tech' for best buys geek squad know less than 90% of the people on this site. so far i have never heard a word of praise for any 'tech' from the geek squad.
I actually applied for a job on the geek squad couple years back, but because I didn't have any certification or an associates degree they wouldn't hire me. Oh yah and I failed there personality test. That made me laugh. They rate you with either a double green (good) red/green (possibly) or double red (not a chance in hell). I got double red. He said even if I had 10 years experience fixing computers he couldn't hire me. I think that explains a lot of there problems. They care more about your personality than your experience.
Hang on a second, just to get this debate a little more balanced,
I would like to say that some of those punters who get "cheated" actually deserve it!!!.
I worked as a PC tech and the number of times I was not paid and was double booked, (turned up at the door only to find another repair tech had arrived five minutes earlier) and generaly F***ed about. Even though I operated within my parameters of "No fix no fee" promise.
The People who just avoid payment should be blacklisted along with the dodgy Repairs shops and placed in a data base so that "Honest hardworking Repair techs" can do background checks before contracting.
And I'm still owed money
Happy computing
I have had my own computer consulting business for over 25 years. (started out in CP/M). My policy is, and always has been, "If I can't fix it, you don't pay." I don't, and have never, advertised, and I have all the business I can handle. If you are honest, have reasonable rates, and are competent at what you do you can be very successful in this business, even in a recession. I have clients that I've serviced for more than 15 years. I started out in a business that was not a "woman's job" and had a lot of early resistance. I am a teacher by nature, and I gave free classes at a local computer club when I first started in business in the early 80s. In that way I established that I was knowledgeable and proficient in my field.
The industry needs honest, proficient consultants. If you treat your client base well, don't overcharge, don't do unnecessary work, they will keep you in business through tough financial times.

I second that experience. In November of last year I was visiting my daughter in NJ. I went to a Best Buy outlet looking for a low cost USB wireless ethernet dongle. These so called "Geek Squad" fellows did not know their a****le from a hole in the ground.
I left in disgust and decided never to return to that place.

NewsDuncan to go Insane
Friday, June 1, 2012 - 5:20 PM If you ride, you've likely been paying attention to the new laws in effect June 1 on helmets and height requirements while on a motorbike. But there is some fun news for riders as well as residents who enjoy watching tricks on wheels. The city of Duncan is inviting a famous motorcycle stuntman, Insane Kane Friesen, to do a show on July 14 during the Summer Festival Parade. One of his fans is City Councillor, Sharon Jackson. "He is an incredible motorcycle stunt guy. And it's going to draw people from all over the island and from the mainland." Jackson thinks riders from Washington will also join the parade and 100 km motorcycle ride. Insane Kane is scheduled to do three shows after the parade. The special events are part of the Duncan centennial celebrations. Most Viewed Stories More Local

And The Royal Baby Wore Vintage (Kind Of)
To our grave disappointment, Prince George will not be wearing custom Alexander McQueen to his upcoming christening. Rather, the royal family has enlisted the queen's couturier, Angela Kelly, to reproduce the royal baby gown that has been worn by sixty regal wee ones since it was created by Janet Sutherland for Queen Victoria's oldest daughter in 1841 (at 172 years old, the original is apparently too delicate to be donned by His Highness). The Sunday Times reports that Jason Bell—a lensman known for his spreads in GQ, Vanity Fair, and more—has been named as the official christening photographer. However, we hope that Mario Testino will at least get an invite to the post-ceremony party.

The U.S. Supreme Court issued two landmark rulings related to the issue of same-sex marriage Wednesday. First, the court ruled that the federal Defense of Marriage Act, which defines marriage as between a man and a woman, is unconstitutional — paving the way for legally married same-sex couples to receive the same federal benefits as straight married couples. Second, the Court dismissed an appeal against California's Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriage in the state — meaning that same-sex marriage can resume in California.
Celebrities took to Twitter to voice their opinions on the rulings. Here are some of their reactions:

Routes Sorted L to R R to L Alpha |
DescriptionA unique climbing area perched above Clear Creek. The setting is beautiful and there is essentially no approach; you just have to put up with the quarry trucks roaring through the tunnel. Tricky slab routes on the lower part of the wall, and more varied, powerful climbs on the upper half. There are a number of truly enjoyable climbs here. Most climbs are accessed via a large ledge split in two by a giant boulder (see picture). This ledge caps the lower series of climbs and forms the base of the upper set. There are two means of accessing this central area: The Put In (5.7) heads up from road level just a few yards away from the start of the bridge railing. From these anchors, you can climb Overflow or traverse right along the ledge (5.2) past a few bolts to reach the left side of the main ledge. Walk along the wall down to the river, where you can climb Bottom Side Down (5.10d) straight up to the left side of the main ledge. The right side of the belay ledge can be accessed by squeezing behind the boulder (take your pack off first!). River Wall requires a 60m rope and some forethought in rope management. A note on leading the lower climbs: rap down on one rope and carry a second to lead out on. Each of the lower climbs has a 2-bolt belay station just above the water where the belayer will have to mind the rope as much as the climber. (Dry treated rope will do no good if it's floating down the river.) Alternatively, on your way down you can hang draws and clip in one end of your rap line. At the bottom, pulling the rap line down through the draws should keep your rope from flying down into the drink. Getting ThereRiver Wall is right across the river from High Wire. Get on US 6 from Golden, going west. The wall is on the east side of the bridge immediately east of Tunnel 2 (4.9 miles from Tunnel 1). It's best to park on the north side of the highway, about 1/4 mile east Tunnel 2. From the cars, walk west toward the bridge & tunnel, but stay south-east of the bridge (that is, don't cross over the bridge as though going to High Wire). The wall is right there on the south-east corner of the bridge. L->R:Well left: 28 Total Routes

You Will Never Be A Powerglove!: Google's Recent 'See With Your Hand' Patent
Google was recently awarded a patent for this 'see with your hand' device, a glove with a fingertip camera/sensors that would allow you to 'see' what your fingers do (SPOILER: boogers) or control a computer with hand gestures. *flipping the bird, computer downloads virus*
"[W]hen a small object is lost, for example, underneath a couch, humans naturally put their hands under the couch to locate the lost object by touch," the filing says. "While gathering information by touch is in some cases an acceptable substitute for seeing, in many situations it may be desirable to 'see' the inaccessible environment to better gather information."
Sure you could use a Google Powerglove to retrieve lost Cheetos from under the couch, or -- OR -- you could use a flashlight and crouch down to look under there with your own two eyes. "YAAAAR -- RUDE THIS WRITER IS RUDE." Sorry -- or your own one eye if you're a pirate. Sweet hook, Captain Emotional.
