I Hate Word 2007

  By Justin Warren 25 February 2009 25 February 2009 Design, Documentation, Software

I write a lot of documentation as part of my day job. Often, this means I have to use Microsoft Word, because that’s what every business has and expects their doco to be in Word .doc format. This sucks for many reasons that they don’t care about. People really suck… Read More

Evolution Mail Stops Me From Being A Dumbass

3 Australia Prepaid Mobile Broadband with Ubuntu

  By Justin Warren 2 February 2009 6 January 2014 Network

Ok, I promised you that I’d explain how to get mobile broadband with the 3 network working in Australia. There some information out there about how to do this, but it’s a bit hard to find, and what’s there can be obtuse. Geeks really need to learn how to communicate.… Read More
