Quite recently I’ve been messing around with various distros (all either Ubuntu or directly Debian based) and it brought to mind my previous post here on ItchyHippo. There has been two recent attempts to capture and continue the classic “gnome 2” look and feel for the desktop (for those unfamiliar think “Windows 95/98” look). These are Cinnamon and Mate, both coincidentally either... Read More

Cinnamon and Mate, What’s it all about?
Quite recently I’ve been messing around with various distros (all either Ubuntu or directly Debian based) and it brought to mind my previous post here on ItchyHippo.

Linux? What is that exactly?
Well Hey there, I’m Conor and I’m a new poster here at ItchHippo. In this post I will be giving a broad overview of Linux targeted towards an intermediate user of Windows but is curious as to what Linux is.

How to Speed Up WordPress & WordPress Permissions Solution
WordPress gets quite a lot of coverage here on ItchyHippo.com. This is for good reason however, as WordPress is probably the single best tool, that I use for web design work. WordPress (and to a less extent, Joomla and Drupal) has changed the face of the internet. It has never been easier for anyone to build a custom website and to update it with ease. It has never been easier for web designers... Read More

It cost about 120euro for a 64GB drive, which is relatively expensive. However, I plan to run my OS from this drive and store my files on another Hard Drive. This will hopefully give me a good combination of speed and... Read More
PC Experience & Where Have I Been
After having a boat-load of issues with both Dell and PC World, I have made a rant-style video, expressing my dissatisfaction. I have just been very unlucky over the last few weeks and I am shocked at how bad some of the products, I have received, have been.

Around the same time as this article, I will have posted a video, telling you guys to come and read this blog entry. I wanted to explain things in a written article, that way I can re-read my ideas and explain myself in a clearer way.
So first of all, what am I talking about?
I write a decent... Read More
Lack of Recent Content
Hi Guys,
Apologies for a lack of content recently. I’ve been seriously busy over the Christmas period, with family things, working part-time, dealing with Dell tech support and studying and taking exams in college and just generally taking a break from working online.
So I haven’t posted any content, videos and blog posts, for about a month and I just wanted to push out an update... Read More
