[UPDATE: 2nd March 2010, Everything back to normal, PSN back available again, see the links below for the official update information]
So it looks like the Playstation 3 and the PlayStation Network may have problems, which may result in Data Loss for certain models. Current advice is do not turn on the affected models until a fix is found and released.
The problem appears to be the way the date are handled, as they [Sony] say;
We believe we have identified that this problem is being caused by a bug in the clock functionality incorporated in the system.
Sony say that some of the errors you may experience are;
- The date of the PS3 system may be reset to Jan 1, 2000.
- When signing in to PlayStation Network, the following message appears on the screen: "An error has occurred. You have been signed out of PlayStation Network (8001050F)".
- When launching a game, the following error message appears on the screen and the trophy data may disappear: “Failed to install trophies. Please exit your game.”
- When setting the time and date of the system via the Internet, the following message appears on the screen: “The current date and time could not be obtained. (8001050F)”
- You may not be able to play back certain rental video downloaded from PlayStation Store before the expiry date.

So, you maybe have not heard of the Wave, or have a clue about what it can do, but Google developers are busy at work creating what will surely be another stunning display of software engineering to hit the internet, and without doubt find its way into millions of peoples daily lives.
Having watched the video that has been released, introducing the concept of the Wave, I am impressed, very impressed....after all this is an early preview. There is limited access to the Wave, however you can apply, and maybe one day you will be accepted........[UPDATE] I recently obtained access to the wave, so if you want to add me to your wave contacts so you can wave any queries about the site, any of articles e.g. arduino etc. then feel free.
My wave address is dave.m.auld[at]googlewave.com ( replace the [at] with @ )
So what is the Wave........quite simply it is going to be one of the most advanced online, collaboration, messaging, instant messaging, blogging, socialising, picture sharing, video sharing, file sharing, you name it, it will probably share it.............
To find out more, check out the video here.
google wave.........coming soon to an internet near you

On Tuesday 5th January 2010, Google announced its first 'smartphone'. The phone is manufactured by HTC, and uses Android 2.1 OS

I had been following all the leaked info and unofficial blogs over the last few weeks, and decided to get the credit card out of my pocket. Let the experience begin!

I have owned my QNAP TS-509 Pro for about 9 months now, and it performs very well. It is more than capable of streaming simultaneous movies to two different media streamers. I had read that there was a performance gain to be had, by giving it a simple memory upgrade.
Memory is cheap, so what the heck, here goes....................
