It appears that the mess that was left as iFinda Group has now been recreated as Number 4 Life and What’s Local. Read about this on another site and then spotted this comment. I know one thing, they wont get a penny out of me ! I wonder if it has anything to do with Mr Dan Corby again ?
Of course if someone wants to point out that this is super wrong or whatever then let me know and I’ll remove / ammend it right away.
Life = lack of news / posts.
Lots going on in my existance, new company, 2 new members of the family (one by birth, one by marrage), facebook, World of Warcraft, new Laptop, new phone, new internet providors, new phone lines, new servers and potential new pet on route. See loads going on.
Not that anyone really cares though 
, but back to the normal junk appearing on here shortly I hope.
There is a company called New Brand Vision that created and sold a service called the “Microsoft Supplier Showcase”. They raked in several thousand pounds per exhibitor but it completely hasn’t worked ! During the sales process the name NBV was never spoken of or even on any paperwork. It was all about the “Microsoft” Supplier Showcase and how it was generate leads. Having spoken to many exhibitors it appears that not a single person has ever received a lead. More over this blog gets more hits per week that the supplier showcase does ! !
Interestingly I’ve just requested a quote from someone and one hour later there’s no request in their inbox !
Maybe this is outright fraud, as NBV where never in the picture when the sales process for this service was going on. Maybe NBV never even expected it to work but came up with a way to charge customers through the nose for something that they never expected to work ! Maybe they’ve projected the same program next year, in which case the company will be sorely down on their expectations.
So personally I’d say that the Supplier Showcase was a complete farce tantamount to fraud.
Watched Sunshine last night … AMAZING. Was like nothing I’ve seen before. It was werid in that the plot had wholes all over it but that entirely wasn’t the point. It was almost as if the film was just supposed to be there for you to awe at. The effects were great and I loved the sets and the score. The music playing towards the end scenes (and I’m not talk about the credits music junk) is great, very M83 like, totaly fitting.
Only thing I’d change is the gore as it just felt out of place. I feel sorry for the people that didn’t get it and are asking questions about the plot. Gutted it didn’t do well in the cinema.
So pleased to have watched it, gonna watch it again shortly. Can’t wait to see it in 720p or 1080i .
Easy 9/10 … loved it.
My new company is on it’s way … Glo-Networks.

Has Mr Dan Corby pulled a fast one agian (118trades.com) ? ?
Have we all been ripped off with them ? ?
Amazingly I just checked and found out that I’ve had cconnor.com since 1999-06-24. Wow that’s along time and most of that I’ve just used it for email . Had a few websites on it from time to time but most have been junk.
Look some are even on way back machine, this one is from 2001 !
Great to see how much easier a fairly decent site is to make now. Thank goodness to WordPress and the like .
I recently treated myself to a nice new Canon HV20 camcorder from Dealsmashers. Just a quick note to say it’s ace and to show the extended battery that I got to go with it.
Lovely solid feel to it, great quality stills and video footage. I’ve spotted a few people online asking about the extended battery and how much does it stick out etc. So here’s some pics to show you. I’ve put the Hahnel HL-2L14 1400mAh battery in there which is the same as the BP-2L14 which canon say to get.
Standard BP-2L13
Hahnel HL-2L14 (BP-2L14)
As you can see the larger battery fits the camera no probs at all. In fact it’s almost as if the viewfinders lip bit was made to stick out a little just for a bigger battery. Anyway it’s fine and works of course as it should.
Werid the way Vista handles the footage though. As even though the Windows Movie Maker pulls the stuff over in what it says is HD mode. After pulling it from the camcorder it does some form of processing to the clips. Appears it down samples them ! As when you check them in Media Player they’re down to 640×480 … errr that’s not HD. I suppose in time I’ll get some decent software to handle them properly but for now iMovie HD on the macBook is doing a lovely job .
This is well funny, this morning the wife and I received our ballot cards this morning. (Not even sure what we’re supposed to be voting for.) So I thought for the first time ever we’ll try and vote … but oooo that’s not to be.
The voting place is in a crazy area miles away, so surely in the 21s Century and there are options ? Call them up and there’s no online voting for this thing which is a tad old fasioned but hey we live in the UK, and Wales for that matter. So I ask about voting by post and apparently we have to fill and form in and get it back to them by today ! LOL
Voter apathy I hear ?
