Sign Markers Kit

Last time I was at my Mums house, she showed me a rather nice old sign making kit for shopkeepers, before the days of glossy point of sale stands or computer printed shelf pricing. A more innocent time when shopkeepers had to make their own signs for these sorts of things. It comes complete with classic vintage clip art, like the pointing finger. Fantastic.

Well, it’s on eBay now, so if you’re interested check it out.

An afternoon on Beachy Head

Just a quick photo from near Beachy Head, whilst out in Eastbourne this afternoon. Quite a nice day all in all, the sun was appreciated.

PlayStation Home v1.0 out April 15th?

I noticed this over on The Sixth Axis, about the possibility of Home, Sonys next generation community for PlayStation 3, launching an open beta on the 15th of April.

This is a MASSIVE rumour. But the story goes a chap called Krystian over on the PS3 News forums was noddling his network, managing to poke his proxy, and then, er, replace some XML files the PS3 uses. He claims that since his cheeky fiddlings he can now download and install Home v1.0. Wow. Good for him. But his big wig boffin brain also reckons that, seeing as he can’t actually play it anyway, the fact it’s apparently sitting on a server somewhere, ready to download - must mean it’s due for imminent release. What a clever sausage.

Well - make what you will of it. But annoyingly, he posted the images on the forum, requiring membership and some god awful banner ads, so here are a few of them (Ew… He’s got an Standard Definition TV, must be a l33t haxxor). Head over to the forums if you want all of them though. I can’t nick them all, it’s too rude.

This last screen, shows rather well the fact that the client running in the photo states ‘v0.8.3′.
Oh, damn - that doesn’t make any sense at all - better shut up.

Brighton in the Snow

It’s snowing! We might event get snowed in and not be able to walk up the hill to work tomorrow! Anyway, these are the best photos I could get without actually venturing outside of the centrally-heated ’safety zone’. I might actually get some decent photos later…
