After months of attempts, we finally got around to updating the Brando site. We’ve tried to simplify it as much as possible. Click the image below to view it.

Brando just finished up this piece for O2. It was developed by Darran Morris.

We had a coffee spillage here, resulting in a sad macbook. Two little things to come out of it though:

• Taking hard drives out of mac books is actually relatively painless. It merely involves 3 screws, a likkle screwdriver and an L-plate behind the battery.
• A little external hard drive case (nicely provided by Darran) can save a lot of bother. Simply remove the hard drive, insert it into the case, plug into another computer and with any luck your hard drive is up and running

We recently finished a nice piece of work for O2. This is an application which allows the user to upload a photo, cut out a section, and then put it in an ad. Then the user can send his creation to his mates, opportunities for hilarity abound.

My hard drive at work crapped out on Tuesday, sonofab****

Got onto the oh so nice people at Dell, excellent customer service. Drive had more errors than a dyslexic at a spelling bee. Managed to get it booted up again though and got some stuff off it. Then Dell sent out a replacement drive, nice.

Learned a valuable lesson. The two most important locations to back up if you use Thunderbird and Firefox:

C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\

&

C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\

Copied these back onto my newly restored system and with ten minutes I had all my e-mails and internet settings back up
