When done well, interactive advertising on the web is a wonderful thing. But, too often, it’s not. I talked last week about the Old Spice advert which has spawned a series of social media spin offs, well this new advert from Tippex ticks the social media and interactive boxes.
Give it a whirl… you won’t regret it.

Apparently my Windows PC is broken… again…

Loyal readers (hello Mum) will remember this story where I received a call from “David James” to inform me that there was a problem with my Windows PC.
(I recommend you read the earlier post for the full back story!).
Back then it was fun to ‘mess’ with the head of the poor guy sat in a call centre in Delhi but this time I couldn’t be quite as bothered.

…or maybe it’s just me.
“Eye of the tiger”, the Rocky classic by Survivor, played by a bunch of guys using nothing but iPads as musical instruments… oh, and occasionally spinning on their heads.
The apps they used are:
Real Drums
Pro Keys
Baby Scratch
Guitar Mania

Right, it’s unlikely they’ll see this…
I’m looking for a new hosting company. After almost 10 years with the current ones, the customer service has hit rock bottom since they were bought out by a larger company. Support requests take 4/5 days to be replied to, auto-renewal of domains doesn’t happen and last week I got someone else’s cancellation notice emailed to me.
Doesn’t fill one with much trust really…
So: I need a reliable hosting company for 10 or so domains, across 6-8 accounts, access to MySQL, mod_rewrite (some hosts don’t allow it) and an easy/quick control panel for me to add domains/accounts without the need for anything involving a terminal.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Speaking at a the Techonomy conference in Lake Tahoe, California, Google CEO Eric Schmidt told the assembled audience that “we” (the human race) create as much information in two days now as we did from the dawn of man through 2003.
Now that is scary.
