Stuff up for grabs

As part of my PC clean-up, I have some stuff that needs to find a new home. Free to a good home...

Laptop - IBM Lenovo X30 (wifi via PCMCIA card) + docking station (contains CD Drive and second battery). May need a re-install. - Mr. Lang

Gaming Laptop...

Gill is starting an Open Uni course in October, and as part of that I should probably release some space for her to have an office. Perhaps I do take up a lot of space...

Glamping - suggestions on lighting?

I have stooped low, and as part of a handful of expeditions this year I'm building up a decent set of Glamping gear...

Printers - impart your knowledge

Gill's Lexmark printer is shit.

Also, it's now on the blink as well. But it's also shit. Shitty McShit-Shit.

Full HTML on Feeds

Is there any way of defaulting external blog posts to use the Full HTML Input Format on lack-of?

It's noticeable that several of the external feeds (Matt's and mine) come in without the correct formatting (typically paragraphs, embeds etc etc). I've had a scan throug hthe various admin settings, but couldn't find anything.

Wanted : USB Mains Adapters

Does anyone have a spare USB Mains adapter or 2 I could borrow for June? (basically a 3-pin plug adapter that allows you to plug a USB cable in to charge something)

I thought I had one, but it seems to have gone walkabout, and I'm probably going to need a couple for JOGLE (laptops have been thoroughly un-recommended, as luggage is going to be chucked onto lorries and generally mis-handled)

Mice - one of the banes of my life

It looks like my mouse is finally giving up the ghost, which is a bit of an arse. It's been temperamental for a while, howver last night it pretty much died...the buttons work, but the laser either refuses to work, or is extremely in-accurate (doing small circles with it results it the pointer careering off-screen).

Laptop for the Missus

For Christmas Gill has requested a new laptop, as hers is basically shit and old (it's not too bad, and once I have replaced it I'll probably re-install it with XP, and use it for something random, but the battery connections are fuxored, and it's basically a clunky piece of shite)

Dell are doing this deal for £378.00;

Itunes - Its shit

Can anyone recommend an alternative to motherfucking Itunes?

Stupid and badly coded peice of software just locks up my machine. Im currently trying mediamonkey anyone got any recommendations?

Media box help required

I have all this mp3 media and I want Kate to be able to play it on the stereo. I also want to make use of Spotify as Kate likes having the radio on during the day but appreciates that it's wank. I would also like to download movies and play them but I am not sure what the best modern way of doing that. I don't have an HDTV yet but will do one day.
