Hi Aidan, I followed where your link was supposed to go and have direct linked your image here: Really depends upon what you want to use the cards for. Both cards are of a reasonable speed and both can hold lots of images (The 64GB can hold 4x more than the 16GB though). Check the SD...

As above I would have the hard drive out and into a caddy - They are cheap and it's always useful to have on around. Take a hardrive out of an old, unused lappy and you've got yourself an on the go cheap portable backup drive. Second to that, the minute the rum got spilled I would have powered...

Ash was about 40 years old. She was getting acting work, but was obviously worried that this partially depended upon her looks. She believed that her top lip was too thin. The reasons that someone believes something like that and and then believes that it is important enough to do something...

<I know it's a light hearted thread and no one is being too mean, but...> There's a study linked in this rather badly written BBC article that suggests that male Hollywood stars' salaries continue to increase until the age of 51, whereas that of the female stars peaks at 34...

Passed through the Gironde a couple of times on the way down here, though it's been a while. Lovely bit of coast and not over developed at all. Some nice lakes and wetlands to visit.

Speckled Wood (Parage aegeria). We've just had the second flight here in the Pyrenees in the SW of France, finishing off the last of the fallen pears - They have two hatches & fly twice a year (March-June & July-October). Still the odd one about, but the weather has changed and they won't be...

What sort of server? For my servers. All databases backed up automatically on site each morning. Daily files retained for 7 days, weekly files retained for 4 weeks, monthly files retained for 12 months. These database files are synced daily to an off site server. All data files are...

Wherever you have the email address replace it with a 'contact us' link that take people straight to the contact form. No harm in having the contact us link wherever you want. Get a link in the header menu of each page. Strim down each page to the essentials of what you think each page's...

My top tip would be 'Never develop on Live'. If this site is for your business and you want to look professional then set up a test server, either on your home workstation or a cheap host (with password - easiest way of stopping the site being indexed) and do all your testing there. If you want...

Not sure whether you are just having server problems, but this was almost the slowest loading site I've ever tested. I test lots of sites - It's part of my job. I ran Google Page Speed Insight to see where the block was and it timed out :( "Timeout while fetching the main resource. Ensure that...

Maplin suggest a 10x double element loupe for jewellery. http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/double-lens-jewellers-loupe-r58tj I've used lower power loupes (of a different design) from them before and they were well made and did the job well - For snow pack crystal analysis. Ten quid doesn't get you...

Incredible detail. Beautiful shots. I'm amazed you got so many shots and different angles. Was the fly still living when you took these? Initially I thought the leg may have been subject to a fungal attack - Not uncommon for insects, but the leg is normal size, not deformed and the white veil...

Just been on your website and seen your actual Yahoo email address - Every spambot in the universe has this address now, since it's on a public website and will happily send you spam and scams. Would recommend not publishing your email address and now getting a new one. A nice professional...

Hi Tim, It all depends upon how you receive your mail and on which service. Basically you need a spam filter. If you use webmail, then Google offer one of the better services, if not and you take your mail onto your computer client (Outlook / Thunderbird?) from a POP provider that offers no...

I too kept intermittently getting 'No lens' errors when using one of a set of Kenko extension tubes. The error vanished if I pushed the lens firmly towards the camera body. It took a really close inspection to see that the mount plate was a tiny bit loose. I loosened off all of the screw then...
