My TomTom arrived in the post today. I was very excited but managed to hold of my temptation to open the box until I had at least had my dinner. Later on I wanted to try it out whilst taking my friend Tom to the local Morrisons, I handed it to him and said “Hold on to my Tom Tom, Tom”. Ha Ha Ha I am so funny. The TomTom was a Christmas present (well actually I bought it in the Halfords sale using money my parents gave me for christmas). I am very pleased with it so far, its very easy to use and very intuative. In fact I didn’t need to reference the manual at all… not that I ever do anyway.

My amplifier in my 12″ wharfedale subwoofer is playing up, but I have found an active subwoofer power amplifier that is suitable for compact hi-fi and home cinema subwoofer cabinets, which I am hoping I can use as a suitable replacement.

My long awaited free Upgrade to Propellerheads Reason 4.0 has finally arrived. Propellerheads seem to have been quite smart in thier way of delivering upgrades, rather than distributing two versions of thier product they simply distribute the full version only. The upgrade verification is done by registering your old version online and entering an upgrade code at which point they will email you the full version product key.

My PinSentry device from Barclays arrived today. I really think its a good move by Barclays to introduce this two-factor authentication. The only trouble with this type of security is that it doesn’t protect against man in the middle attacks, so its still important to check that the site you are visiting has the https:// in the address bar.
