    Looking for an exercise mat

    Looking for an exercise mat I can use at work over my lunch break. Needs to be tidied away afterwards, so I was thinking about a folding one. Maybe this one: https://www.mirafit.co.uk/exercise-class/mats/mirafit-folding-exercise-mat.html Will be used for crunches, stretches etc. Anyone...

    Building a reputable CV

    I my experience the only essential thing is an online portfolio showing you have skills and experience. I have no formal training in front-end development (I have a degree in graphic design though), but am about to start a job as a senior front-end developer because I have a portfolio showing...

    Fitness Trackers

    Hmmm, didn't read the description closely enough so I assumed where it listed GPS it meant it had it, rather than being tethered to a phone. That's a shame. Not that I can afford it atm anyway.

    New OcUK design (WIP)

    The problem with your design is pretty much the same as with the current OCUK site, you just don't know where to look. Everything is trying to grab your attention at once. Also use fewer (no?) carousels, seriously carousels are stupid and should be banned. Research agrees with me...

    Finland considering giving every citizen €800 a month

    It may be true that individuals will go abroad, although I doubt that it's aywhere near the numbers that we're led to believe. Corporations will not however. They will use whatever tricks their acountants can devise to pay less tax, they will offshore themselves, double dutch etc. But at the...

    Autumn Budget 2015

    I'm glad to see public pressure can work even against ideological polices such as tax credit cuts. I don't believe for a second that George looked at improved economic forecasts and thought to himself 'Now I can afford to maybe it would be nice to not cut tax credits'. Tax credits are...

    spectacle straps

    I used both types back when I did a lot of kayaking. I prefered the first style (although I never used any so elaborate as the example you show), because that didn't alter the way my glasses interacted with my head. The second style added extra width to the stems which added pressure to my ears...

    Critique my uni assignment WordPress site please

    Fair enough. I find a lot of wordpress (and other CMS) themes are a bit sloppy when it comes to typography. Normally you have to get stuck into the theme CSS file to sort it out, and if that's not your thing I totally understand.

    Critique my uni assignment WordPress site please

    The main thing I would say is you need to improve the spatial relationships. For example the articles listed down the left hand side – the gap between the thumbnail and the title text is the same as between the thumbnails and the edge of the page. This seems to indicate that the thumbnail...

    New Star Trek series - 2017

    Yeah, the Rick Berman era certainly has a certain feel to it. I hope they can distill some of the reboot into the new series, although it will have to have far fewer plot holes to make a credible series. I can see it being a Game of Thrones style big budget, 6-episodes-per-series affair...

    New Star Trek series - 2017

    I so want this to be good, but I fear it will be rubbish. It's got a good chance to be good though – fresh cast, fresh production team, potentially (and most likely) a fresh alternative universe to spread out in. But if it doesn't hit the ground running then it will fail, whether or not it...

    Ridley Scott’s The Martian

    Funny, because I felt the space elements (the bits at the end mostly) were silly and overblown, and the scenery wasn't right, while the rest of the film was gripping and about as believable as a sci-fi cinema has ever been. Each to their own I guess.

    Why halo not on pc :(

    Back when Halo was first announced PC Gamer did a big exclusive about how it was going to be the best thing since sliced bread. Bit of a bummer when it went XBox exclusive. But as others have said, there were plenty of good choices for singleplayer and multiplayer that meant I didn't really miss it.

    What are the 30 year old plus gamers playing?

    30 (so I feel like the baby of the group :D) Kerbal Space Program mainly but also replaying classic games from my youth such as Total Annihilation, Final Liberation etc. I went through a phase a few years ago (afer the birth of my first child) when I got really into multiplayer shooters, but...

    Divorce ruling - don't stop...

    But your forgetting in this case the wife has also been supporting the husband – providing childcare that would otherwise be expensive (the value of a stay-at home mother has been calculated at about £60-70k per year per child). So you're looking at a scenario where the wife has given up a...

    Tube Reservoir Mount Diagonally

    I've seen a bunch of builds where they've mounted a tube horizontally, so I don't see why diagonally would be an issue. Just need to make sure your outflow is always underwater.

    ** CYBER MONDAY COMES EARLY: CRAZY GRAPHICS DEALS!! **

    I'm only running @ 1080 atm so I don't suppose the extra VRAM will make much difference. Just need to clear it with her indoors first tho :D

    ** CYBER MONDAY COMES EARLY: CRAZY GRAPHICS DEALS!! **

    In the market for a new GPU. Was thinking 970, but for £239 the 780ti looks great. A quick google tells me the 780ti is the more powerful card, but are there any disadvantages?

    Ridley Scott’s The Martian

    Watched this last night. It was great 8.5/10 The only thing meant it wasn't a 9 is that I think Watney should have been more sarcastic – it was meant to be his coping mechanism, so I feel he should have 'coped' more. Also I felt the ending was too hollywood – I mean it is a bit hollywood in...
