Aside from the DT's, I'm fine!

Great night last night, everyone is buzzing about the show.



Met some great folks, including Foxy from warrington. Someone who worked with some of the biggest names on the northern comedy circuit from way back. If you know Danny la Rue, you know foxy.

Right, I am offically pissed. That drunk to you yanks.



Tonights show was HOT. The temp I mean, phew, but what a great show.



Everyone is buzzing, including me. Can't wait till tomorrowa show, I just have tp get some sleep. Don't want to seem like a pussy, but I have been awake so long and had one to many Bacardi and cokes, its not funny.



The bar owner Vasilli is over the moon. Let's face it he's a top bloke' flying me out here with no idea what would happen. The people he has working for him, love him. For good reason, he see's them right.



If you come to Faliraki, visit bar 24, have a drink, eat a great meal and then have a splash in the pool (see next pic)



Do I go early to sleep or stick around for a few hours and miss the lovley sunshine tomorrow?



Oh, just found out about the free barbeque!



Bye for now

Ok, this is it, I'm off to Athens.



Been a while since I went there last, got held at gunpoint, at customs for looking dodgy. That was when I had the long hair and army Rucksack( a Bergen if you must). Thanks god they didn't search me, he had huge hands and fingers like bagettes. I'm sure that guy doesn't work there anymore.



I'm really looking forward to the famous Greek hospitality and doing a couple of funny shows. If you don't know what show I mean:

Got an hour or so before my connecting flight to Rhodes, where I will be met by the great

Vasilli from bar24 in Faliraki.



Last night I did a great show for the army down at some top secret base, I had to be blindfolded all throughout the gig!



I'll post some clips when I get back.



The new website is back online again and working great. Free uk delivery on all products, see how that goes! I mean, its not free really, I'm paying for it. Its not like royal mail are doing me any favors or anything. Though they are doing a fantastic job getting your orders to you, a bit slow sometimes, but hey, they have a big job to do.



Right, as you can tell, we havnt taken off yet, I don't type that fast, but I better switch this phone off (yes I know the bit at the end of every post is annoying, I can't seem to get rid of it or stop it being sent. Bleeding advertising genius or what)



Take off, bye.

PLEN the Desktop Robot playing Football

I saw this little guy at the CES in Las Vegas in January 2007 (I know, ages ago...I'm bloody busy alright!).

Plen, the small but most intelligent robot, prefers your desktop as a den.

With the motion building software exclusively for plen, you can create your original motion and the possibilities are endless because some plen can already enjoy roller skating and riding the skateboard.

Controlled by Bluetooth by using your mobile phone or pc.

You can program your own movements or use the preprogrammed motions.

Cost? Around £2000, bargain!

Sub Bass at the CES Car Audio Show - Part 2

After seeing Mad Mike I decided to listen around for More Bass, that was slightly more affordable.

Found these GR Cabs doing their stuff.

Heck, I'll take Fifty of em!

Pimp My Ride - Mad Mike & Some Serious Bass - CES Vegas 2007

The Organisers of the CES Car Show would only allow 10 seconds per hour as the bass was so loud and deep.

We saw everyone waiting around the stand and had no idea why, so like good people, we waited too!

We found out within a minute or so why we were waiting. Good God!

The sound on the video can't do it justice. I had a coffee in my hand and only stopped filming when I realised the bass had made me spill most of it down my pants. Either that or I pissed myself.

Fenix Cree Flashlights vs Surefire Xenon & Maglight Krypton

Want to see the Fenix flashlights compared to a Surefire Z2 or 3D Cell Maglite? Watch the Movie clip.

I have so many customers asking "how bright are the Fenix compared to other flashlights and each other, so here you go. Take a look at see for yourself!



I ran out of time, so here's more about the L2DCE and the Striker VG Mk3

Go Go GlowGadgets

Phew, I was getting worried there.
Everything is fine, at last.

The site has been running for a week now and it was a little shock to the system,
new cart, new epos system, adding products (more to be added) links not working, search listings buggered up. All that.

Anyway, the orders are coming in now that the site has all the Secure certificates and payment methods sorted. PayPal will be added in a few weeks and maybe even Google Checkout.

For now Protx is doing a stirling job, as are my team of developers (thanks guys: Tom, Neil, Mark, David and the Unknown web hermit).

My customers have been giving great feedback, thanks everyone... That reminds me, I haven't mentioned the winner of the Fenix P3DCE. Oops...

The Kapasi Family are the winners. Well, not all of them, only the one.

Have a great bank holiday and don't get stuck in traffic.

Downtime and Headaches

First the new site is running, then it isn't.
On and off, never knowing when or if its staying.

The technical help say it's just a glitch, seems my site is putting a bit more strain on the sytem than expected. They are moving my site to a diferent server that can do the job better.

I hope so, I've had no online orders for the last two days. Midweek is always quiet, but not dead.

Just to keep an eye on the site I am using WebSitePulse who are monitoring my website at a very resonable rate, Zero, Nada, Nothing.

the first month is Free and there is No Limits to how you use the site in that time. Websitepulse like to proove they can do a great job before they take payment. And they have a very scaleable solution to monitoring your website Uptime, Downtime, Usability etc

Customer service is great so far, I got a reply to a question in 5 minutes from Polly, friendly, helpful and if they continue to impress me, I can see me signing up after my first free month.


GlowGadgets.co.uk
Is currently running fine, orders are not coming through though.
The checkout seems OK to me, but maybe I have missed somthing.

If you have a minute, please take a look and let me know if its anything I have missed, thanks.


Back to work, I have lots of new products to add to the site, so I'd better crack on.
