"Cramped and too blue" the old Rough Cuts HQ
It's been a great year for Rough Cuts Ltd. In under a year from first becoming registered they've gone from zero turnover to some. In light of this success, and due to increasing levels of complaints from their employee. They're moving offices. From it's inception Rough Cuts has operated from a combination of 'the sofa' and the main offices upstairs in what was previously known as 'the old playroom'. Employee complained that it was too cramped, too blue and that the feng shui was all wrong, he said [quote]
"I hate sitting with my back to the door it's creepy, and the blue, it looks like we stole it off the navy".
Company directors maintain that the offices (at the time) we're fit for purpose and that 'employee' was the lead designer for the project some 8 months ago. Nevertheless due to increasing use of 'sofa' the business has acquired new property.

Surround sound, gaming and a new chair, the new HQ. 
The new premises are a short distance away along the landing and into much newer, and more modern space that was created when the house underwent an extension several years back. It's previously been known as 'the spare room', 'the boys room' (despite the household being dominated by females) and 'the man cave' (as it is currently signposted).
The plans for the new offices are radically different and are a significant step up. The feng shui has been considered and 'employee's back will soon be against a corner wall, facing both the window and open door. Employee will soon have additional recreational space and increased desktop space for more than one computer. This is a significant new investment for the business with a speculated budget of 50,000 pennies. So far the project is way under budget at only 19,798 pennies for a new corner desk and chair. However contractors 'wife and kids' state that paint will be needed to be paid for and perhaps further storage space. Employee has suggested a cold storage facility for beer or soft drinks, but our source stated that this was unlikely as he has already got a dart board and Xbox 360.
However progress has faltered due to workplace injuries recently occurring when 'employee' sliced his finger open while sanding down the skirting boards, reports state he accidentally snagged his index finger on the grip strip and he said it was like razor wire. Witness reported a lot of blood and feelings of queasiness. More updates to follow over the coming days.

Kogeto Dot thing

Oh the irony. about 6 months ago I emailed our buying team and told them about the GoPano 360, a device we ought to consider selling. Then when the buying team found out the RRP they decided against it, calling it a niche product, they were probably right. This week though, we've had this product in which performs exactly the same function... it captures 360 degree video. The two products seem to achieve the result in slightly different ways though. The strangely named Kogeto Dot seems to use a fish eye lens, where as the GoPano uses a conical mirror. Now before I need to explain my results, if you have an iOS device, you probably don't need to read on. Simply download the free 'looker' app from the apple app store. From here if you navigate to 'featured' and you'll see the videos that other users have uploaded.  Actually you can make your mind without an iOS device by looking at the videos on the dot website. However you view the videos though you will no...

Counterfeit Beats in-ear Tour headphones.

Genuine Box, book and case on the left. I'm going to use this next post to help identify the difference between a set of genuine Monster Beats headphones, and a counterfeit set that we've obtained. Before we start, it's important that you know, in isolation, without a set to compare, and without this previous knowledge, you'll most likely be duped into thinking that the fake set, are genuine. We asked a couple of team members to examine the headphones and asked if they could find a reason why a customer would return them (we didn't let on that they were fake) and they couldn't. We made up a story about the logo being not quite straight (which it isn't) and, more worryingly, they said they'd exchange them, although they'd think the customer was being pretty picky. Then, to their surprise we told them they were fake, and they were pretty shocked. Until we showed them next to a real pair. What I intend to do now, is to highlight, just how close they ...

MAC - 0 ; PC -1 - A lesson learned.

If you've a modern router, the chances are somewhere embedded in the side is a USB port. Perhaps you're using it for wireless printing? Perhaps you've attached a drive as a handy place to back up all of your vitally important files? Maybe you're using it for your Mac Time Capsule backups (anyone tried this; it ought to work shouldn't it?) Or maybe, you weren't aware you could? I have a wealth of important (to me) files backed up on a 500Gb Buffalo drive, in order of importance Videos of the children growing up (yes they're also backed up on Mega) The contents of my daughters old computer (ready for when we can get her a new one of her own) My Music (also synchronised with Google Music) My Photos (also synchronised with Google Photos) All of this data takes up over 250gb of a 500gb drive.  So when the new vodafone router wouldn't work with it, after I'd got my number back, I set about solving this quandary. On the first night this drive w...
