As reported earlier this week, some people had trouble downloading the latest episode of KWTV from our servers over at Bluehost.

Guest Spot on the Aussie Geek Podcast. Every 2 weeks I sit in as a regular co-host on the Aussiegeek podcast.

James Hance, The name won’t ring a bell I presume, but I bet when you see the picture below, you might have an idea who i’m talking about. James’ art has surfaced all over the internet here and there and kind of clings to you in a geeky-romantic and endearing way. This man has the…

There once was a time, in the not so distant path, that Linux users where a minority. Well, to be honest, they where a small group of really really big Nerds. Yes, beard-wearing, spectacle sporting, maternal basement dwelling single guys (and the occasional female) They would stare at their command prompts all night long, browsing newsgroups and irc…
There are some things everybody remembers. Their first girlfriend, their first car, their first kiss and of course, and of course, their first computer. For me that was a beige Commodore 64 (With brown keys) that I had gotten in 1986. At that time my older brother had bought it for my dads company and…

“Can you also make phonecalls with it ?” The half snickering question hovers in the air, the person who asked it looks at me expectantly, although he already knows the answer. “No” I answer. Before I get a chance to explain he holds the device up to his ear, its over-sided dimensions making it…
This week we launched our brand new hashtag on twitter : #dearknightwise, that people can use to ask cross platform question.

Knightwise.com fans who have been around a loooong looong time (or have been avid listeners of the Aussie Geek Podcast) might remember the famous ‘mega mindy incident’.

Geo-tagging your pictures, tweets and foursquare checkins is cool. It lets your friends know where you are, shows others just “where” you took that awesome picture and nobody dears to doubt the fact that you have just become the mayor of your aunts bathroom in Foursquare. But these locations are DATA. Random, useless data that…

We start of the day with a little Youtube video that oozes nostalgia. How about trying to upgrade through every version of Windows ever made, and see if you (and your operating system) survives. A pointless exercise at best, and surely 10 minutes of your life you’ll never get back, yet it DOES have an air of…

As dawn slides its silken blue cloack over the star dottet expanse of night, I rise from the slumber of my dreams. Trudding down for the morning coffee, I absently reach for one of my digital companions as I yawn and stretch to greet the new day. While our puppy pops outside to answer natures call, I stand in…
