Steffan Williams is a Computer Science student at Exeter University, UK. This site aims to bring his views/ramblings on tech news, reviews and more, mixed in with a splash of his life. Random fact: he is very rarely seen without one of his six hats.
This is a quick 3G iPhone post… bare with me and I’m sure we’ll all move on to bigger and better tech news soon.
“The Text” from O2
I received this rather interesting text message the day after the keynote speech; for the sake of clarity, I have interjected my own thoughts here and there between the [...]
Overly the last few months I’ve consistently been feeling, “I can’t wait until next week, where I’ll have some free time to relax”. That “free time” never came… until now. I’ve finally finished University and, to be fair, it’s come just in time. No more will I have to do pointless exercises that everyone else [...]
It’s been a while since I last sat down and wrote something that I didn’t immediately have to hand in to the University. Over the last month, three weeks were spent doing nothing but work and the last week has been completely free to try and recover. One thing this endeavour has taught me is [...]
Ever since I did the Leopard Graphics Update, my iMac has had a weird little issue when exiting full-screen programs (such as World of Warcraft, Parallels…). As a picture is worth a thousand words, I’ll just post some pics here.
My iMac is the 24″ Jan ‘07 model with the following specs:
2.33 Ghz Core 2 [...]

About eight or nine years ago, my step dad told me that when I turned twenty-one he’d take me to Las Vegas. Keeping to his word, when my twenty-first birthday came last month, he booked a holiday for me, my girlfriend, mother, aunty, cousin and himself.
So, I’d like to give a huge thank [...]
While I may be late to the party on this one, I thought it may be worth a mention. One of my favourite online retailers, Play.com, announced that they were going to offer music downloads. When the news of the MP3 store from Amazon.com came out, I was rather irritated that there wasn’t a non-US [...]
As the Macworld event is later today, I thought I’d write a post entailing my current setup — just in case I decide to make any changes based on the news. Since moving back to my Uni room last week, I’ve decided to concentrate on my iMac being my “main” machine. In 2007, I was [...]
A friend of mine had to create an animation for his third year Computer Science class, Modeling and Animation. The task they were given was to create an animation involving a “toy”; sort of like an advert for it. The animation was created using Blender, an open source “3D content creation suite” that runs on [...]
I bought this bottle of wine when I was ten years old, in a rather large wine store in France. I can’t remember how much it cost, but that wasn’t considered when I was buying it. At the time I really liked antiques and when I saw this, wandering around the wine store, I asked [...]
I just wanted to wish everyone out there a very “Merry Christmas”, Seasons Greetings or Happy Holidays. Whether you do celebrate this time of year, or not, just have a great December 25th. Even if you don’t believe in anything in particular, this time of year has one great thing going for it — it [...]
