Sky blue.

Hmm…the Sky Plus satellite service – the hard disk PVR system – appears to be having a lot of problems with broken encoding on the top three standard movie channels (not Box Office!). The symptoms include intermittent and very annoying stuttering audio on playback of recorded movies, which can be ‘cured’ by rewinding for a second then continuing play. I’ve talked to the support dept twice and each time been told that they’re ‘working on it’. It’s a pretty serious issue since Sky Movies…

eTrays.

Introducing eTrays.net. In a desperate, perhaps even pathetic, attempt to regain some badly battered street cred after a disastrous Valentine’s Day fiasco involving three pigeons, an ice cream cone and a small white rose, me and bestest programmer mate Tom are introducing eTrays to the world. What are they? Well, kind of like Google Ads for eBay. Yes we know there’s The Marketplace, but this is different. eTrays provide free, totally customisable closing auction boxes for your web site in your chosen category . We think it’s…

Think tank.

Think Tank. $225.00. Food for thought, eh? [Thank you, thank you, we’ll be here all week, folks!]  This glowing life-like brain in a bubbling self contained unit, is much like the ones from the 1950’s horror films. It’s great as an office oddity, or Halloween effect. The constant bubbling can even be relaxing. The workmanship and detail are akin to that of Hollywood special effects departments. The tanks come fully assembled – (just add water!)
