After finding an old digital camera today, I smiled at the size of the 8MB memory card that was inside it and then headed to the shelf to get some comparisons 😉 Behold a 1.4MB floppy disk, the 8MB camera card, a 64MB card and a 4 GB card. The right hand unit holding over […]
If a job is worth doing it’s worth doing it properly. Why drink a bottle of scotch when you can have your own distillery 🙂 Seriously, a long-standing development house customer wanted to thank us at work, and so, besides paying their bills on time, they arranged with Interflora to send a bottle of “branded” […]
Finally assassins creed revelations has been released and it was worth it. Been playing modern warfare 3 for a week although only played it for 8 hours over the week. However ACR has nearly had 5 hours since yesterday. Given my current workload its been a hard job fitting it in! I dont talk work […]
After having worked several weekends in a row, and following the flu from Christmas, new year etc, I vowed to have this weekend off. This morning was a 3+ mile walk with Chez, Ant and the doggies, and most of this afternoon has been spent trying to clear a little bit more space in the […]
If you can keep your head while everybody about you is losing theirs, you have better quality stitches …. Things break in threes and never more so than this weekend – monitor, office server and my mobile My mobile wont charge – it seems that lots of other people are having the same problem with […]
Examples of customer service recently. We bought a new car (second hand) the day after we got married (damned expensive weekend). We bought it from Bristol Street Motors (cheltenham) on the basis that we have a BSM nearby in Redditch. Within 3 weeks the gearbox had gone. That’s something you can’t easily check for without […]
My first ever proper computer was an Amstrad PC1512DDMM (512K of RAM, 2 x 1.2MB 5.25″ floppy disk drives and a Monochrome monitor – no hard drive) When I started work, part of my first pay packet went towards buying a 32MB external hard drive for around £250 – around £7.80 per megabyte – it […]
Ive just watched junior apprentice and i have to admit that the right person went ! I know they are ‘kids’ but technically they are young adults and they are on a cut throat business program. Jordan was so up himself. He may well have run a business since he was 12 but he has […]
After all my mobile problems last year, the phone I’d been waiting for has finally come out. The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 is the first SE to run Android (the one written by Google) and unfortunately its v1.6 rather than the v2.1 that is on the HTC desire which was my other possibility. Ive heard […]
We rely on technology. A good electricity supply, working computers, and of course an internet connection. BT Have today had their Paddington network flooded. At 10.15 ish this morning our office network died. The business is internet based. Today (yesterday) we’ve relied on mobile phones with internet access. We may end up closing early for […]
