Enhanced contact

 

Perhaps one day we’ll make contact with an advanced extraterrestrial civilisation that will revolutionise humanity and the world in ways we can’t begin to fathom.

Clowning around

 

In honour of the ‘killer clown’ craze currently sweeping across the US, UK and Ireland. Hundreds of incidents have been reported of people in clown masks and costumes scaring and even chasing victims, while armed with machetes and chainsaws. The craze, which began picking up just before Hallowe’en is said to have been inspired by the remake of the 1980s clown horror film It, coming out soon. I haven’t seen any clowns yet but if any want to play with me, I’ve got a boot in the face that will permanently make them look like a clown…

Do not feed the MailChimps

Our General Integrity team use a program called MailChimp to collect responses from event mailshots and import them into our database. Outside my company, the program is often used for sending out bulk emails to a selection of subscribers.

Gifville now updated to Windows 10

 

The Gifville Laptop has now been upgraded to Windows 10, thanks to a free scheme for updating by Microsoft for home users of MS Windows 7, 8 and 8.1. The new OS came out on 29th July 2015, and Gifville joined the fun on the first day of August.

My first impressions…they’ve done a good job combining Windows 8 with its predecessors. The icons are nice and my laptop seems a bit faster.

Welcome to Windows 10 🙂
