PS3 Cat ad

Here’s a very cool ad a friend of mine made for PS3 all unofficial with very little budget, hopefully someone will see this and hire him

Awareness test // transport for London

First saw this and thought it was fantastic. Then found out it’s a rip off of someone elses idea and felt a bit let down, never the less a great and effective ad

A Look At PS3’s PlayTV

Now this looks very very cool, it seems to me the PS3 is looking like THE home entertainment hub what with the Blu-Ray player, the only thing letting it down at the moment seems to be the games

How to get IMAP on Gmail?

There are guides galore for Gmail and how to use IMAP but how do you actually get it? They are supposed to be rolling it out to everyone but I’ve been checking for ages and nothing. After setting up an account for my Brother at Christmas and it appearing instantly I was understandably a bit pissed and confused as I’d had my account for years and still stuck with POP access.

So before I tell you how to get it here’s why you should want it. POP lets you access your emails on any mail client and that’s it, IMAP ensures that changes you make to either web mail or your email client are synced with each other.

If you don’t have it available on your settings page the way I found that did it instantly was to change my language to English (US)

Once I’d done this I simply logged out and back in again and the IMAP option was there, hope this helps someone as I’ve been banging my head against a brick wall on this one for ages.

Happy Christmas

Busy, busy, busy, It’s Christmas and it can’t come too soon, as you can see Joshua is more than ready for his first Christmas. The presents are wrapped, work is oh so very close to being over and even though I’ve missed all but one of the Christmas parties this year I’m feeling pretty festive.

Well as my messages are becoming more and more infrequent and I have no idea if anyone out there is actually reading I shall say a quick Merry Christmas to anyone there, hopefully much more writing and photos in the New Year.

Going back to work

Well it’s been a month of leave, I still have a couple of days left but I’ll be going back on Wednesday and I know it’s going to be amazingly weird not being with Joshua and Teenie 24 hours a day.  He’s just started being a bit more aware of toys around him, but of course sleeps a hell of a lot as well, at least it’s a short week, but I can’t believe the year is nearly over, in all it’s been prety damn amazing I got promoted, found out I was going to be a dad, BECAME a dad, and now everything seems very very different.

I’m a Dad and it’s amazing!

Yup last Wednesday little Johua Kai finally emerged and is now home and well as is his Mum.  It’s really an amazing feeling that is half shock and half awe.  It’s been less than a week and you can already see him getting his own little personality and everything just feels right.  I’m sure I have my sister in-law and her husband to thank for that as they now have a 5 week oldand I’ve picked up lots of tips watching them.  It was only yesterday when we were left on our own that it’s finally all sunk in.

The birth itself went well and Teenie was amazing using only Gas and Air and the birthing pool, no screaming but that was because she had the gas tube firmly between her teeth.  After the birth I took him as she got out the pool he fed straight away but Teenie had lost too much blood as I could see in the pool.  I can now never EVER watch Jaws in the same way again.  (A bit like how Fathers who attend a Caesarian start seeing John Hurt everywhere).

She got rushed to the labour ward and was surrounded by Doctors leaving me with Joshua, everyone was amazing and letting me know that it was all just for precaution but it still scared the hell out of me.

After a few days in hospital and blood transfusion later we were all finally home I was more exhausted from all the worry and travelling than now with little Josh here, so the tiredness and napy changing hasn’t been so bad.

Better get going but my words of advice to any Dads to be are, it changes everything but in a good way, and not in a way you can really explain or understand till it happens, and of course it’s going to be amazing!  (oh and saying “over” on a baby monitor ever gets old).

The whole world goes facebook mental

including Netvibes with a sparkly new application designed to make the facebook addicts of the world’s lives that little bit easier. And here it is.

Now I’ve been on facebook since May and pretty much ignored it for the first few months now EVERYONE has a page I found a friend who’s emigrated to Australia today, and an old workmate who’s now in Amsterdam. It must be the biggest social networking movement for my age group (Late 20’s early 30’s). I guess it’s for people who were up for the idea of Myspace but who’se retinas just couldn’t take the terrible terrible design and music on every bloody page, which is a huge pain in the arse for firefox users like myself who like to use multiple tabs and then just have a huge wall of noise thrust upon them.

Having a module on Netvibes is nice but Facebook still doesn’t allow feeds of your news so be sure to join the group if that’s something you are after.
