Chris Morris is a satirist who created a mok-news show called Brass-Eye has created a new movie called “Four Lions” about the daily goings of Islamic terrorists. It looks amazing and is being screened at the Sundance festival.
Sorry but this has really suddenly annoyed me. Just *everyone* wants to wear the latest in cool and neat desgin, Superdry…
Superdry clothing is then new Bench.

I just heard an interesting advert on the radio from BT, saying “if a conversation is worth having – use your BT landline”. Sounds like BT are feeling a bit left out in the cold while most people these days favour the ease of mobile phones rather than be tied to one fixed line.
Plus at £38 a month is a bit steep for a fixed line…
When I arrived in London at the start of August 2006, the pound was 3.2x the NZ dollar.
Now, November 2009, three and a bit years later, the pound is 2.2x the dollar.
Check out this graph from fxstreet.com:
Unfortunately for o2, the iPhone has been opened up to other carriers. Vodafone and Orange have both cited that they will start selling the iPhone soon as o2 was the exclusive reseller.
And this is a good thing. o2’s network is quivering under strain from heavy usage. A word from a bird says o2’s network is at 97% capacity. It’s apparent to iPhone users that their network is showing signs of defeat as most times signal drops and data crawls even disconnects frequently. Hopefully Orange and Vidafone have enough beef to hold the rest of us in a digital downward spiral of bits before we all hit the bottom of timeouts.
I despise lazy people.
Royal Mail have failed as a company, and their workers have been pushed to the edge of reason and strike against the company. However, this hurts the consumer greater than the hurting the Royal Mail head honcho.
And in addition to the strike which has been going on for the past two weeks, Royal Mail “cuts prices” on – no longer employing a team to answer phones, but to utilise a voice recognition system (which is fruitfully repugnant) and has no option to speak to an ACTUAL HUMAN BEING. I spent 6 minutes speaking to the female version of HAL, having to repeat everything at least twice. And why the hell do we require voice recognise in these days, especially with the quality (or lack of) of the voice stream on a mobile phone (probably similar to mono 8bit, 11025hz) and then there are the dropouts. I understand that some people don’t have the ability to press buttons, such as dudes who’ve lobbed off their arms.. but why isn’t there the option at the start to say “Say, ‘voice’ to hear options using your voice or press 1 to continue”.
Back to my inital point. I’ve bought something online from the UK and have been waiting for it since the 7th of September. It has been in the Royal Mail deposit centre since the 9th. Now it is the 17th of September and the status on the track and trace website says it’s still in the depo centre. Seriously you guys, you suck.
For the past month or so I have been co-developing a new site for Sony Ericsson called The Pulse. The website is intended for reseller staff to learn about the handsets and how to sell them to customers in store. It is also available for the general public.
I’m proud to be a part in the development as SE is a great client to have, and the production went very smoothly.
Lots of geek trickery in the background too, and we’ve tried to use as little Flash as possible. The only instances of Flash being used is in the 3D demos and some videos. Otherwise it’s all jQuery (JavaScript) friendly animation and effects.
Kinda makes me wanna go get a new Sony Ericsson phone!
The NHS… sigh… is turning to the church to rid its supposed ghost who seems to be haunting a hospital.
Seriously, are we living in middle-ages?
A spokeswoman for Derby Hospitals NHS Trust said: “We take information from staff seriously and are working with the hospital chaplaincy to put people’s minds at ease.”
He’s one of Britain’s most influential artists but now David Bowie stands accused of starting one of the nation’s latest trends: The credit crunch.
Idiotic… It’s not Bowies fault. It’s Major Tom’s fault.
