This Weekend – Updates

Tech News

Just a heads up that there will be no new content this weekend as such, apart from releasing the next podcast episode of “Gav & Dave’s Tech Podcast” on Sunday.

What is happening instead is some long overdue admin tasks and tidying up of review links/pages. I felt this was necessary as over the course of 2 years, since I started my blog, there is so much information it needs some proper indexing/filing.

Typically, if you tap to read a review on a device, it searches on the device for all items relating to that device. It also can bring up random posts on the hardware as well. It can also miss some relevant posts too. So what I am planning is to create a new single post, that will list direct links to all parts of the review, and listed in the correct order.

What this means is that during the course of this weekend, random posts will appear with reviews to a single device.
