One trick pony

Got bored did it any way.

Its like Kinect, But for your computer

So theres a new 3D mouse called Leap Motion. Its like Kinect but has the ability to track your finger movements. Asus plans to integrate the technology in to their desktop pc as well as some of their high end netbooks. Hopefully your see this later this year.

I can however see the Leap being a steep learning curve to use, as from the video it looks quite fidgety to use but I'm sure your be able to get used to it quickly.

Check out the video for a better look

Pizza Hut Review Part 2

So we went out to Pizza Hut, the place was basically empty. Turn up for our booking (which Sam had made) oh its not been made..... but one had been made for the same time and amount of people for 'Sally'. Wow well done.

Sneaky Chocolate Buttons in the Salad.

So we took "Sally's" table and carried on. Sorry Sally.

When we sat down we were told a list of things that we weren't allowed to have, because they didn't have any. The waiter then quickly ran of to do something. Who knows what. The restaurant was so empty. What could he possibly have to do.

When every one had arrived we had to stare down a member of staff to even get some service. All we wanted was a drink. To be fare there were 16 of us but the restaurant should be able to coupe.

All all got drinks eventually and a nice dirty salad bowl for unlimited salad to go with our filthy cutlery. Good start. When we went over to the salad bar , lets just say it was lacking in just about everything. also the Doritos tasted funny..

We did get a nice helpful waitress, after all the useless ones had disappeared. Although she wasn't keen to refill our drinks.

Overall the Pizzas were quite nice, the service was lacking (bar one waitress) and the cutlery and dishes could really need a good clean before serving it to the customers.

Then it came to paying the bill which is always fun when half the party has cash and the other half has to pay on card. Also know one really knew how much they owed. How about a game of pass the bill. Fun.

Our Pizza Hut experience. Hopefully an isolated incident...

So I was expecting to write a raving review about Pizza Hut tonight. Turns out it's not like it was when I was younger. Of course, everything seems amazing when you're younger (especially when you're getting pizza) and I'm pretty sure I wasn't overly concerned with customer service at that age, but tonight I received such poor service that I don't plan on making another visit anytime soon. Yes, I am just a cynical person who will probably be very over dramatic about my experience here, but even having worked in basic customer service I knew this was a bit poo.

We entered the restaurant at about 6:50PM. We knew where our table was because some of our acquaintances had already arrived and we could see them. Okay. So far, so good. We sat down and had a chat with everyone, catching up with friends that we haven't seen in months and waiting for more to arrive. We were only waiting on a few more people and, by this point, dying for a drink. None of the staff acknowledged us. After all guests arrived, we still weren't acknowledged until we started to stare down multiple waiters and waitresses. A man who seemed to be quite rushed off his feet swiftly approached us. "Are you ready to order drinks?". Finally. We all ordered our drinks and had a look at the menus to decide what we were eating.

Okay, so this is where it starts to go downhill. I looked down at my cutlery and noticed that it was covered in, excuse the french here, shit. Not literal shit of course, but this was stainless steel cutlery that was so dirty I could barely see any kind of reflection in it. I looked around me. Everybody's cutlery was the same. How was this allowed to be put out on the table? After having our food order taken by a lovely woman who seemed to actually care about our customer experience, most of us asked for replacement cutlery. The waitress did not apologize for the fact that our cutlery was barely washed. She said she would get some more cutlery for us. A different waitress returned with salad bowls so we could get our complimentary unlimited salads. We still had the dirty cutlery. At this point, I was beginning to lose my shit.

Everyone seemed not to care too much, not wanting to wait any longer for their food. I thought to myself - 'No. I am not going to stand for this'. Contrary to that stupid saying, I did stand up. Don't get me wrong, I made sure to wait for about 10 minutes so that the staff had an opportunity to replace my cutlery, but they did not. I stood up with my legs shaking and my fists clenched. My face was red and I was steaming from the ears. I began to charge towards the counter. At this point, I had lost my shit. I stormed up to that waitress with all my anger and gave her a piece of my mind.

"Excuse me. Sorry to bother you, I was just wondering if I could get some new cutlery, please?".
"Sure, not a problem. Sorry about that".

That's how I recall it, anyway.

I sat down and ate my salad bowl. Our food arrived and I enjoyed it. The waitress decided to automatically give me stuffed crust. Didn't ask for it, but hey, it was pretty decent. We were barely asked if we wanted refills, which considering most of us ordered bottomless drinks, is pretty crap.

We paid the bill and left. Overall, I'd give the experience a 3/10. It seemed to me that the place was poorly managed and very understaffed for what is considered a busy night in our town.

Edd's opinion...
---coming soon---

New toy...

This mysteriously appeared on my bed. It is a "Willy Hairbrush". Would love to know where it came from and who thought it would be a good idea to put it there, but now...
It is mine. Review NOT incoming.

Oh dear God, why?

Crappy Pound Land Stylus

So I've had an iPad mini for a while now. The other day I decided that I would try to do some drawing on it. This proved difficult when trying to use my finger, or thumb, or toe...
( I didn't actually use my toe).

So I went out and bought myself a stylus. From Poundland. It cost me....Wait for it...
A pound. However despite its cost, it's improved my drawing skills on the iPad substantially. Not bad really for a pound. It also seems to reduce the amount of smudges on my screen -- always a bonus.

This was one of my first attempts at drawing with the stylus, using sketch book x.

And here is a picture of the stylus in question.

Bonus iPhone stylus. Brilliant.
