    Pronouns: he , him, she, her, they, them

    Is it because I'm getting old and reactionary that I find the use of pronoun lists in signing off emails strange? I mean firstly, when I get these emails at work, it's often in a context where I will be communicating with that person directly - so will use the second person 'you' and don't have...

Dartmoor and the surrounding area is just so much lusher, prettier and varied than inland Cornwall, which is just a bit bleak...

    Romanian food experiment

    Thanks for the positive comments guys - yes Scam, most east European food I’ve tried is on the heavy side - but the long cooking times give you the chance to build up an appetite! Moses - I’d say the ‘keys’ or key themes seem to be balancing smokey, sweet, sour and umami flavours- for example...

    max cpu frequency on idle

    cpu-z reads same as core-temp - frequency jumps up to max at least half the time on idle and web browsing - but Ive just noticed something; it seems to calm down after about 40 minutes - what's going on ? Windows 7 didn't behave like this if I remember rightly

    max cpu frequency on idle

    Since upgrading to windows 10 (clean install) my cpu (2600k) seems to spend a lot more time turboboosted to maximum frequency - when just web-browsing or idle.
