Take it to the Skype

Posted on: April 18th, 2012 by MrPromo

It may not come as too much of a shock to you all when I say that the world really is getting smaller.

 

I don’t mean in a literal sense by the way, before everyone starts worrying about anything like that. I mean more in a communicative way and how simple it now is to keep in touch with people.

 

You’ve probably heard people much wiser than I …

Easy as Reg 123

While I have often waxed lyrical about my internet and computing capabilities, in truth, I’m more probably no more capable than anyone else.

 

Like a lot of males, I enjoy exacerbating my problems. Whether it’s man flu, DIY capabilities or my technical prowess with all things computer-y, I enjoy a little bit of ‘bigging up’.

 

In my eyes, hardware is a tough pair of boots and HTML, well …

Top quality audio equipment, music to my ears

Here he is again, people. Mr Promo, back once again with the ill behaviour and all that jazz. I’m not just here doing nothing either, I’m bringing you some lovely words all fused neatly together to form a cohesive and well-rounded opinion on my chosen topic.

 

That topic today is the joy of music, and what a joyful topic it is as well. Whatever music it is that …

Laptop deals at your fingertips

So you’ve eaten all the Christmas turkey leftover from the big day and you’ve recycled the mountains of wrapping and fancy ribbon used on the big day. You’ve even managed to shed that little bit of extra holiday weight you were worried about, actually, maybe that’s just me.

 

There is still that one herculean task that you face, one that could take a little bit longer than most problems …

Laptops you say?

It really is amazing to see how much the world of computers has changed since they were invented all those years ago. You see images of computers from back in the day and they would take up almost an entire room. OK, that may be a slight exaggeration, but it’s not much of one in all honesty.

 

The way that its come to the point know where you can …

Computers are a strange phenomenon in my eyes. Now before you all look at me, albeit virtually, in terror and shock just hear me out.

 

Because for me and I’m guessing a lot of workers, computers are where we spend a large part of our day, our week and essentially our lives. Now you would think that given that we spend so much time at our computers, we wouldn’t …

Slice of Online Pie

The internet is a serious business nowadays. So I’m told anyway, I generally use it to watch old episodes of Coach Trip and play games. If, unlike me you actually act like a proper grown up and use the internet for important business-ey type or even if you have your own plans to get in and amongst the world wide web then you should read on.

 

One thing I’ve …

Becoming a household name

Posted on: October 11th, 2011 by MrPromo

In the very early days, shortly before I was born, people would communicate by grunting and shrugging. A language still widely used in the Promo household before 7am. Then came the written word with the Egyptians penning insights on papyrus before the printing press arrived in the 1400s. Written word then continued to advance with the dawning of the computer age in the 1990s. Now computers are everywhere and they …

Go worldwide and get on the web

Posted on: September 19th, 2011 by MrPromo

The web really is a massive tool nowadays, it seems to me that everything is being transported on to the web. You can do your big shop, order clothes and even send birthday cards all from your computer box and it doesn’t stop there. Once you get into the realms of Facebook, Twitter and other social networking sites, it seems that we’re practically living on the internet.

 

The problem …

Indicate now and get on the road to savings

Male pride can be a spectacularly powerful, yet also destructive, emotion. It is the reason why men refuse to enlist the help of instruction manuals, insist on formulating and cooking the barbeque and also why they’ll happily get lost while driving if the alternative is to ask a rival alpha male for help.

 

The latter is something I am guilty of myself, although if I am being honest I’m …
