Added and fixed a few things:

• Removed Zune as it would appear that the XML services are dead from the switch to Xbox Music.
• Added pages support to News (Navigation at the bottom of the page)
• Performance & CSS fixes

Will get around to sorting out a proper Applications section soon.

When adding an Edimax 200 AV home-plug to an existing Belkin AV+ 200 setup, believe in Belkin's instructions which even cover practical scenarios and deployment options.

It's less than 3 seconds and more than 10 seconds, Edimax, not 10s and 30s.

No wonder I bought it listed as faulty from eBay.

Changed hosting and domain registrar to namecheap.com.

Some improvements made (mostly bugs squished) plus I now have server performance information from the host and MySQL. It would appear I need to perform quite a bit of optimisation on the back-end (In progress).

Had major issues trying to install Sonic Generations on my Xbox 360S (320GB HDD) recently. Trying to install the game results in it hanging at the "Installing game" screen, just before the Storage Device selection prompt. I believe it's due to having Cloud Storage enabled because it's worked fine before.

To resolve this annoying issue, simply sign out of your profile then try installing the game again. Afterwards, you can sign back in and resume playing.

Wow, "Flatout 3: Chaos and Destruction" is total and complete crap. I'll rant about it here:

1. Loading screens that don't actually display loading progress, just a pre-drawn bar stuck at 30% for 45 seconds.
2. Team 6 decided to abandon 3 titles worth of game art, redraw them with a LiteBrite and scan them into the game using a hand-held barcode scanner.
3. Why use Havok as a physics engine when you can use "IF (polyA.width = polyB.left) Then MoveAwaySlowly(polyA)" 20,000 times? Who ever heard of 3 polygons or more in a game anyway.
4. Every thing is fully destructible! Except barriers, iron work, trees, railings, debris, parked cars, curbs, fences, plant life and dust.
5. Boost doesn't only (not) make you go any faster, it makes you go up.
6. That pesky water was everywhere on tracks in the first 3 FlatOut games but it's OK, they've removed it now - Entirely.
7. Skidding and power-sliding woes? Cars now have greatly improved handling. They only go up, left and occasionally right now.
8. If you have a 1080p display don't worry, they've filled up the entire left hand-side of the screen with the sonar display from the Nautilus.
9. Controller? Xinput? Rumble? You speaketh in tongues, this is a PC game, who uses a controller on a PC? R for Respawn silly, and Up for Up!
10. Characters are available in wide range of 3 formats; Celebrity rip offs, modeled on a lunch break and unfinished.
11. Cars can be "tuned" to two unique presets; Classic (Broken beyond all repair) and Custom 2011 (Broken but can go left now and right occasionally).
12. Not bitter, honest.

Had a major issue during my trial -> paid subscription Zune music pass service where I could no longer play anything in my subscription catalogue.

The error code was C00D0BBE.

I reinstalled Zune, tried the Zune Library reset tool and the DRM reset tool. None worked for me.

After signing back in and still not able to play my music I visted the Zune website and played some of my music through the Web Streaming service whilst I pondered what to do next. It took about 3 minutes to start to play a song and the quality was distorted. Then I noticed that the Zune client had kicked in playing Dragonforce along with the web streaming service playback.

I would advise anyone experiencing a similar issue to try the following:

1. Reinstall the Zune client
2. Restart windows
3. Run Zune client
4. Play a subscription based song (if working, great!)
5. If the song fails, load up your Zune account on the web via Social -> Me -> Account
6. Find a song that your have in your collection and play it through the web based player
7. After a sucessful play, return to Zune client and try your songs again

Good luck.

Most fun yet, especially with sticky bombs at Ezio's disposal.

Collector's edition a bit underwhelming compared to previous titles.

Fantastic game! Made better by this:

Collector's Edition FTW!

Completed and worth every penny.
Fantastic start to finish.
