OK I have just watched this and its brilliant, but what it spanks of is the fact that British commercials are just so orignal! Dont know why but here in China most commercials are like something from a late night bad cable channel and somehow if you tried this in America I get the feeling someone would call 911 and that would be the end of it.
Any way check it out.

Had a very pleasant dinner last night at Osteria last night, the place was full the the brim so we had to wait for a table. Food was good but the service was hit or miss. For example we got asked if we wanted the desert menu which arrived quickly but then noone followed up and we totally forgot to order desert and ended up just gettting the bill and leaving. So I suppose its their loss, and it kept the rather tempting warm pear tart from my growing waist line. Total bill for two including a bottle of wine 630RMB.
OK so perhaps I am the last person in the world to find the USB slot in my DVD player useful but DAM that thing is wicked. Stick in a USB stick filled with what ever you want and the DVD player reads and plays it – loving it!
Great post from Search Engine Land today about twitter accounts – if you want to follow the major search engine twitter accounts this is just for you
Good question, two things really.
One – the company I spend most of my time working for sprang back into profit in January which is fantastic considering how rough the seas are out there for exporters from China! Talking to some people it has come at just the right time as everyone is wondering either in the back of their mind or in the front if the company will survive these dreadful economic times. Now that profit is back and we have some great help with our accounts and cash flow forecasting I am sure that we can hold steady in the wind.
Two – I have started a test to see what happens, I want to see just how effective writing content alone will be, so for this purpose I have bought a bunch of fresh domains all within my celeb niche and I am currently looking for someone to write content for them. I will do the usual things for a blog, let the posts do the talking and see how quickly fresh, non-duplicated content takes to grow the blogs to a good size. The last test I did was picture content alone with a title – it took only 1 week for the blog to go from 20 to 100 visitors a day and stay there for all time, that particular blog has had no updates since early November and has now started to gain more traffic from images.google.xxx. doubling the traffic over the last couple of weeks. My tests always seems to cost me money but don’t really make me any – perhaps that should be the next test…
Follow these steps:

smb://ServerName/ShareName/
4. Click Connect.
Just found this, very useful!
A random blog post reminded me to get my goals for 2009 in order so here they are:
More geeky than expected and not a huge list but I think with work carrying on at its breakneck speed it should be enough to keep me occuopied for a while.
OK so the week has been and gone, and instead of getting two websites live we have only managed to get one ready and working. Learn masses about testing systems and how you need to be able to have a exact copy of the site somewhere else so that you can test before it goes live. Sounds simple but with OFBiz things never seem to be.
Launching our website is a few tickets away from completion, hope to have it up and running before Chinese New Year when everyone disappears for holidays.
D-day is nearly upon me. The day when we finally move the companies website from our current 3rd party supplier (Channel Advisor) to our own OFBiz / Rackspace / Akamai website. While Channel Advisor’s website has done us good for the last 3+ years its time to move onwards and upwards with something, well customisable.
OFBiz has proved to be a great platform for our warehouse and its really exciting to see the improved systems and processes take something to the next level. Working with developers who’s first language is not your own is always a challenge but I think the end result has been worth it.
The first site to go live is our JV’s site quickly followed by our own, should be a great week!
