Canon have created a rather nice unit here. A networked multifunction printer. It prints documents fast. It scans well but the real deal breaker in our opinion is the duplex print, copy and scan function. This means that it will scan and copy double sided originals, as well as print double-sided. Now I don’t know about you but this function is perfect for an office in desperate need of controlling the volumes of paper that pile up.
This unit was included in my office to help digitise file keeping. So all those paper bills, contracts and other records can now be easily scanned and filed in an electronic filing system. Still need to do some work on what the best electronic document management software is for a small business, but for the moment the included software from Canon will do the job.

It’s very hard to be a supporter of daylight saving when it creates havoc with timers on your Beyonwiz or other electronic devices. For the last two weeks things have been recording or not recording on the Beyonwiz with no rhyme or reason. For some reason the things started taping Neighbours - what a horrible mistake. And for no other reason it stopped recording some of my favourite shows or taped them an hour earlier thus missing most of the program.
It’s a little hard to determine whether this was an IceTV or Beyonwiz problem, but I now seem to have solved the problem. Continue reading ‘Beyonwiz or IceTV and daylight saving issues’

The Beyonwiz DP-P1 is a pretty remarkable product. For those tossing up between a fully-fledged home media centre PC and a PVR, it’s a natural (and cheaper) and compelling option.
It’s won an Australian Design Award and it’s easy to see why. It’s a very neat package. It combines a hi-def dual receiver tuner, a hard disk with 200GB capacity, networked file sharing and more recently a remote (via web) programming function. All this in a package that you can get for less than $1000. Still a pricey undertaking, but not unreasonable given its feature set.

There’s been an awful lot of hype about this particular mouse. I’ve managed to resist for a few months, but I was really interested in seeing if this product had some significant benefits on the ergonomic, health and safety front. I have to admit my hand sometimes gets a little tired operating a traditional desk mouse and the chance to try using a mouse in a different way was tempting. Given some of the other reviews I’d seen into the product I was a little hesitant.

Another fascinating development on the topic of portable applications is the emergence of Mojopac. Now this isn’t only a portable applications pack, it’s a portable operating system pack. That’s right, you can now take your mojo anywhere you choose and run your USB portable drive or even memory stick with its own Windows XP operating system on it.
It’s very similar to other offerings in the Linux world such as Puppy Linux (more on that later). This mojo pack really does seem to work. I loaded it into a USB stick, plugged the stick into my computer and voila, I can run Windows XP from the stick. Of course it is a little slower, but not annoyingly slow.
