Digital Paper Saver Shopping Centre Library Initiative 2015

Remove paper from your shopping lists!

Here’s how: next time you head to the shopping centre, instead of scribbling down your cereals, eggs and milk on paper, why not just email YOURSELF the list? Then, once your local shopping centre includes a library – mine does! – you can join up, login (for free usually) and check what you need after or before purchasing, all on your email account. Paper saved.

Also, as this requires you to regularly access your email, I found it reinforces the password, stopping you having to open a new email account every time you forget it. So, a double saving!

Now you just need to get those word-processing skills up to speed.

Wi-Fi password giveaway celebration

Things at LateOClockShow headquarters just got a whole lot easier: we’ve been able to completely scrap our longstanding work-rule of using only one internet compatible device per calendar month and can now attach a PC, a laptop, a smartphone and a wifi-enabled dictaphone!

We first implemented the rule back in 2005, because trying to attach more than one device to the internet was impossible then, and attempts to do so (you know who you are, TMWTH!) lead to costly repair call-outs. Things were relaxed slightly with the coming of wi-fi, when we allowed whoever was first into the office on the first Monday of the month to set the wifi-password for that month.

Last week, I reluctantly allowed a colleague to attach their device to the wi-fi (a boarding pass needed printing), because the end of the month was nearly upon us anyway. When the system held, I added a third device, and then a fourth. Subscribers, I am happy to tell you, there has been no overload at all.

As a gesture of celebration I hereby include our wi-fi password for anyone who wishes to join, given that the capacity seems to be limitless: crypticUPPERCASE_2015 (that symbol after the `E’ is found by pressing the hyphen button at the same time as the `Shift’ button on most keyboard systems).

Tabling the Contents/Harnessing the power of the Web

It comes as a great pleasure to learn how to use a canny tool in the web browser package and we want to share our discovery with you. Some of you, our subscribers, may have known this, but for those who are in still in the dark: websites may be accessed by a one-click method, as opposed to constant daily re-entering of the full website address. The method requires a `hack’ of the browser package, forcing it to store the full address (including the www and the .com) and thereafter allowing you to simply CLICK ON IT in future.

All that’s left is to name the operation. Well, as the method reminds me of consulting a table of contents in a traditional book, we at the LateOClockShow have decided to call it `Tabling the Contents’ for short.

Tell your colleague or IT technician, and soon your workplace will be saving hundreds of minutes on the so-called data-entry logjam.  Many thanks to telephone staff at Waterstones digital for their assistance in this matter.

A marathon of quality professional broadcasting

Thinking of running this weekend? Running and thinking maybe? Why not make the LateOClockShow Progcast series your running music? It’s not only pacey and modern, it’s highly educational.

The average duration of a LateOClockShow Progcast is 27.3 minutes, a number that will be familiar to any 7 minute miler doing just less than four miles. Therefore, after 7 progcasts, you will have completed a marathon.

Let us know how you get on, once we get our email back in action (password recovery pending).

A Long Awaited Password Recovery

Many thanks to the online help forum found via a search engine query which enabled all of us here at LOCS to recover our login information for this website. This ends what has been more than a year-long effort to achieve the same by the daily password  limit of three incorrect entries. Our thanks to all who stood by us during this time.

Expect more blog entries on a more regular basis henceforth.

Argumented Reality

Now that the LateOClockShow team is keeping up with the latest trends in online technology, we couldn’t help but notice how a certain furniture provider is offering an augmented reality app to imagine how your room would look with its furniture.

Well we feel we’ve been offering an argumented reality application for months now! Download our much vaunted first season of ProgCasts and imagine how your television and radio will look and sound in the future.

All proposed audiovisual projects remain the property of The Late O’Clock Show, saving those which have been purchased already.

The Incubated Egg

 

Our recently completed first season has been downloaded more than one thousand times. That’s 400 hours, more than 16 days worth of quality content. Which is precisely the amount of time required by a hen to incubate her egg.

In all my years of eating eggs, I’ve never really appreciated the work that goes into them until now.

We are justifiably proud of our achievement and look forward to hatching season two/series two (nomenclature to be confirmed) in the next few weeks (release date to be confirmed).

Aprés Lotto

What’s the problem with the lottery? Almost everybody is a loser!

But not with the new Aprés Lotto television boost! A brand new television show devised by the people at TheLateO’ClockShow, for immediate syndication.

Here’s the inspired idea: as the lottery balls are being drawn up to 50 celebrities (depending on the size of the draw) stand by in our specially built celeb-tainer, each represented by a ball in the lottery, each hoping it’s their number drawn. Maybe they’ve a new CD to plug, or a book to sell, maybe they just want the air time. Whatever they want, after the break, the six chosen celebrities get a full interview, in a pool of balls.

Animal Passport to Freedom

A five season television series which charts the epic rise and fall of a zoo, featuring unique cousin dynamic.

Gritty, real, meaningful, life-affirming. The scenario: an under-funded zoo, with disease rampant among the animals. An old man vet and a young vet just out of college; they don’t get on. And a nurse who brings the sick-children.

Major recurring character opportunities, management issues, animal welfare, romance in a tightly knit five-season arc, culminating in a cutting exposé of the international animal trafficking industry.
