There has been a new Betta Electrical Advertising TV campaign released and it looks pretty good… The last one generated a fair amount of controversy and more than one nutter came out of the woodwork to provide all sorts of insults and threats.

Theses ads cover four different ranges available in the stores – Computing, Home Entertainment, Kitchen and Laundry

I reckon they are pretty good, get onto YouTube and update your comments and ratings

DISCLAIMER: of course, it must be said that I do work for betta Electrical (well, the Parent Company) but i wasn’t involved i nthe production of the videos…

So I finally sat down and wrote out all the things that need to be down over the next few weeks. by the time I finished on the first pass, I had 30 tasks written down across 6 major areas

1. MS Exchange 2007 Migration
2. MS SharePoint 2007
3. Backups
4. Desktop Clients
5. AV Migration
6. Documentation

Holy Smokes, that’s some work that we (my offside and I) need to do… I was looking onto some options for setting up some kind of GTD stuff to document all this and possibly keep up with it all, otherwise I am going to get mired down in paperwork and tasks and emails and everything. I can never find one that suits me… There are plenty of them about but most seem to be either Desktop or Cloud-based, some look great, some not-so-great, some use email and work with Outlook, many do not. I still haven’t found one really suits me. I guess that search goes one..

In the meantime, we created a SharePoint site and list all the Projects and the tasks and cross-linked them as well as did up some quick custom views to keep us going for now… That does me for now, on the work side of things anyway… that still leaves all the stuff i need to do at home though….

For this, I am thinking of using MS OneNote combined with Live Mesh. That way i can access the OneNote file from both Work and Home as well as synchronise with my HTC TYTN II.  I am still only scratching the surface of OneNote and I look forward to putting more into the way it works and integrates with Outlook

Any tips on GTD Apps and also OneNote resources and tips would be appreciated…

So now we have a local blog on Windows Mobile. I Hope this does well, the most comment i get when asked about my HTC TyTN II (Kaiser) is “what do you do actually use if for?? I am still working on all the things that i use it for, as is my wife who inherited my old Dell x51v ( the best Windows Mobile PDA ever…). I do lists, gaming, ebooks and all that as well as starting to incorporate using MS OneNote synchronisation as well.

This is very much a work in progress and i look forward to reading more articles from the Blog, especially with an Australian flavour. Unfortunately, we suffer from horrible, horrible pricing plans for data connectivity unlike the all-you-can-eat buffet that the US folk do. I remember getting a $375 bill from a single month because i had left my email checking at the default 2 Hour Interval… Ouch! This kind of limits some of the better stuff we can do so I hope that we can look forward to articles full of localised content.

Ouch, we go down again by a skinny margin… While I didn’t expect to win this one ( I actually tipped against the boys), It annoys me that we were up by 25 ( again) and then got closed out and lost by 10 points. this could have been one of those unexpected wins that we all love so much. We need them to balance out all those ones that we are expected to win but ending up losing…. We did come close and who knows what might have happened if Anthony hadn’t had to stagger off.  Reid and Rocca out again to serious injuries. Any tall forwards anywhere?? This will cause another shuffle and place more Pressure on Travis Cloke. I hope young Trav is up to it now he’s back. At least we stopped the Bulldogs run of 100+ scores

I Finally got the right Skin for my Dell XPS 1530. I had ordered one from the Dell Skinit Webpage while back and i received the wrong one. The Support guys were fantastic and whipped me out the correct one for me right away.

So now i have it, a pre-cut Vinyl skin for the laptop to make it all my very own, considering how successful the XPS line is going, I’m glad mine can stand out a little from the crowd.. definitely one to check out, considering it is only $30 US to buy. They also have the regular Skinit site for other gear.

One thing i have learnt though… i completely suck at taking photos with a camera-phone… I’m not sure i have ever got one without being blurry somewhere… I might try taking some without the silicon skin to see if that is causing me to press too hard…
