As many of you might already know… I love Lidl (the budget supermarket), today just strengthened my love for this wonderful store. Today I bought the memory stick (description here) pictures on the left and the mouse (description here) pictures on the right for €39.99 and €29.99 respectively. Both of which are brilliant prices, and both products are superb. The memory stick is absolutely tiny. I recently bought a Microsoft Cordless-Optical mouse from PC world for €50 (was priced at €90) which apart from some ergonomic features is the exact same as the Lidl mouse (the maker of both products is Typhoon http://www.typhoonline.com). The Typhoon mouse even has a recharge feature unlike to Microsoft counterpart. I went to Finglas Lidl early today as i wanted to make sure i got a memory stick…I got there about 9:20 and there was none left, people had been queing from early that morning. I asked a member of staff..who just happened to be the manager, if they had any left. He looked at me for a moment then brought me to his office door and gave me the last one that he had been keeping for someone…..SOUND!!.
Check out this mouse (pictured left) which I am defintely getting when i get my laptop (only €35!!) you can buy it here …..the sites in german though.
Other issues for today:
* I found out last week with all of the Jackass movie talk that Wee-Man is not infact dead, I had heard he was and had told a few people that he was….sorry for lying to you folks.
* Google has bought the company Pyra . Pyra are the founders of Blogger.com. Blogger is a super servie and i have used them for a few blogs i had running {Intra updates and 4th Year project ideas}. As I am big in to my Blogs and Google might be setting up in DCU ( a research facility) I might be seeing if there are any opportunities with their newly acquired blogger department….the best thing about this news is that Blogger will not be going anywhere, only getting better.
* Sorry to those who might have been checking my site lately…some images were missing as they were hosted on my local server which of course only i can see which meant when I checked the site here, everything was fine.
