GnuPG GUI

For sometime now I've been using the Command-line versions of GnuPG in Windows & Ubuntu for verifying downloads & encrypting emails.

Recently however I discovered there was a GUI version available, which makes it much easier to use.

The Windows version can be downloaded here & if you want to install the Ubuntu version just type the following in a Terminal...

sudo apt-get install gpa

IE8: Opening Links in New Tabs

Recently I thought I'd try out IE8 after using Firefox for a longtime.

One of the first problems I encountered was whenever I clicked on a page link a new Window would open, which was quite annoying.

I eventually discovered that if I clicked on the Tools menu & selected Internet Options. I could then alter the Tab Settings.

The Two settings which are important here are When a pop-up is encountered: which should be set to Always open pop-ups in a new tab & Open links from other programs in: which should be set to A new tab in the current window.

Crackdown Xbox 360 Update

I'd brought Crackdown when I first got my Xbox but hadn't been able to install it to the Hard-drive. Recently however I noticed on the Xbox Dashboard that the full game was available for download

That made me wonder whether an update had been released for the game so it could be installed & it had. This update will probably get more people back playing the game just in time for the sequel.
