VeryPC Posted September 3, 2015 Author Posted September 3, 2015 Depending on if it goes well on Monday [and again on Friday], then I'm back in the game. Oh, good luck buddy! Al
VeryPC Posted September 3, 2015 Author Posted September 3, 2015 I love the Paint designs though... they made me laugh Yeah, I wanted to keep the actual sock/mug/t-shirt designs a secret for now so we can unveil them on video. Those placeholder "designs" were actually done in with the annotation pencil in the Windows Snipping Tool ,not MS Paint actually. The real socks were ordered about a week ago. My creative colleague, Mr William Meally, Hand of Marketing, has outdone himself with the design and I think you're going to love them. I can't wait to see them in their actual socky flesh and show them off on video. And whilst I'm on about brandy stuff, the mugs and T-shirts will now be customised in house right here at VeryPC with our new suite of printing and application kit. That's why we'll be able to personalise every daily winner's mug and t-shirt with their EduGeek name. Our sublimation printer for the mug decorations is on order, but we've already got our brand new large format print and cut machine and laminator for making skins for laptops and other products. We'll also use the big printer for cutting the custom T-shirt vinyls. Here's a couple of pics of our new printy/cutty beast and Will proudly holding up our very first in-house custom skins: Al 1
sonofsanta Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 And whilst I'm on about brandy stuff Bloody hell Al, it's not even 3pm and you're already hitting it. I know the first day of term is rough and all, but take it easy, eh? 3
SteveM555 Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 I am in it for the mug! My old white/green VeryPC mug is ageing now 1
LeMarchand Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 I'm in! I even ordered a bunch of machines from you this year, so I don't feel like a total sponger. 1
VeryPC_Colin_M Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Lots of the original stocktober old guard already getting in the mix I see. This is going to be fun! 1
matt40k Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Honestly, I'm a little worried at how happy this has made me - even more so than when I saw the 'life size' R2D2 made out of LEGO at the LEGO shop in Disneyland... I'll gladly swap a pair of free sockets for your Disneyland ticket Actually better not, I'll only end up stealing Lego R2D2 and drawing a moustache on him and trying to use my Jedi mind powers on authorities who rock up to reclaim their relocated property that this "isn't the droid you are looking for". 2
Scotbynature Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 I cant wait for my new socks, the last pair were amazing. 1

"So I can enter Socktober! Do you have a minute to talk about our Lord and Saviour Al of VeryPC...." Also, if we are entering as private members this year, do we still have to provide work details? I've never entered due to a potential conflict of interest previous years. Edited September 7, 2015 by CAM 1

I actually spat coffee all over my desk when I read that! Sadly, we have returned from Disneyland - I can probably find a photo of me stood next to the LEGO R2D2 if you really want! 1

sonofsanta Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 I've just realised I left a pair of lines out stupid atheism leading me to forget the mindlessly droned words of my youth.
