Bank Holiday Bonanza

Bank Holiday Bonanza

Hello fellow summer rebels,

Why is it that every August bank holiday we are promised a summer heat wave but the weather man is never right? Here at Ebuyer’s marketing department we’ve been chatting all week about what the weather is going to be like this bank holiday. We wanted to make plans, we wanted to go camping, we wanted a BBQ. Our newest member Rocio wanted to go to the beach. Chris our multimedia maestro wanted to play golf all weekend. But who knows when the sun will take his hat off?

That is why I am more than just a bit excited about our bank holiday promo. We have got a momentously huge prize giveaway for every day of the 3 day weekend so even if it does chuck it down with rain – who cares? Watch this space for more info coming soon!

Me, I’m looking forward to two days of watching my old movies magically transformed into better quality resolution on the new TV I have ordered. And then on bank holiday Monday, I’ll be cheering on Andy Murray in the US Open widescreen style!

Going outdoors this summer is so over-rated!

The launch of Windows 7 has been big business at Ebuyer.com and when we’re not preparing for the product to hit our e-shelves we’re talking about just what this version of Windows could hold for PC users. With the launch in mind, we decided to get our Software Product Manager Alec Durrant to test drive the new Windows 7 software and feedback his thoughts to everyone at Ebuyer HQ. Here’s Part 1 of his odyssey into Windows 7

Windows 7: Available from 22nd October from Ebuyer.com

It’s been a while so I thought I’d write another post.

Very much in the same vein as Charlie’s ‘Top 5 Games’ post, I’m going to write a blog based on Gadgets. I think everyone has a slight childish side (whether we admit it or not ;-) ) and my top 5 is geared around this so here is my Top 5 Gadgets You Never Knew You Needed.

Since Ebuyer has decided to sponsor local team Hull City this season I had my first opportunity to attend a Premiership match with some of the gang, and what a match it was!

Cake and Cookie Friday has been a revelation in baking talent. Who knew a bunch of marketers had the culinary skills to whip up a delicious cake or batch of cookies without blinking an eye? So, when it came to my turn, I had to really step into unfamiliar territory – the kitchen!

Anyway, I went confectionary crazy and destroyed the kitchen to create “Lee B’s Cheeky Tarts” – Ooo-Err!

How to convert a PC user to a Mac user – I’ve never used a Mac before and always been a PC lover… I think this might be the hardest task Apple have had to date.

Day 1

Where is the hash key? Don’t give me 6 key command combination’s to do simple tasks that should be a button on a keyboard… why is external access to internal systems called something completely random? I feel like I’m playing a game of Hide and Seek and the Mac is really good at the hiding part – I suck at seeking!!

I would also like to point out that my feelings for the Mac seem to be reciprocated as I have already managed to repel my Mac after less than 24 hours of owning it. The whole of the docking icons crashed (which apparently is a very rare event) so, given my current feelings about my shiny white nemesis, I feel this has been my biggest Mac achievement to date!

My lovely senior designer for Wren does keep assuring me this anger feeling will soon pass and will flourish into love….well they do say that strong hate is usually a precursor to love – maybe this will end up being the greatest romantic story of them all. Current signs are not encouraging mind… I confess I have my PC on as well for comfort surfing, bit like a child carrying around a blankie!

More to come tomorrow!
