The ICT Direct Winter Upgradathon!!

[Mako]

If in doubt, gimp it out!

 

If I start dropping this line at work, will you support my solicitor's fees when I face a tribunal?

[hallb15]

I use Paint.NET which is also free.

Here's another, slightly more random one

[hallb15]

One final one on this theme - how about a Teletubbies themed website?

[LeMarchand]

I'm never going to get time to do a proper job on this, so I'm hoping that this link will take you to my effort. May be considered NSFW, hence the link.

I can't even.....

 

TERRIFYING!!!

 

I'm never gonna unsee that!

Inspired by @LeMarchand and recent news...with apologies for very quick Photoshop skillz

Okay, so i think, with that final masterpiece, we should leave poor Jack alone.

He's already sat in a corner rocking back & forth!

 

So. I present your next batch of victims respected 1st Tech staff...

 

 

This is Ben, he's our operations director & a more organised man you'll never meet. He's another lover of doing dangerous things with a mountain bike, if it wasn't for his seriously sharp enterprise planning skills, he'd have gone pro.

This is Steve, our HR manager. His online bio suggests he's a lover of life & the great outdoors. But, to us Lancashire folk, he is our token Yorkshireman and can be found grumbling about how things used to be better to all and sundry.

He is also in possession of a wonderfully manicured beard.

Finally, we have Martin. Our current finance maestro & resident Manchester Utd fanatic. He has a fierce rivalry with ICT Direct's own John Graham who supports Man City.

Martin despises all references to Christmas that happen pre-December 1st. I'm sure you lot can make use of that.

By all means, enjoy yourselves

Its fair to say that Martin hasn't faired well recently with regards to our rivalry.

[mikeprice]

What!!!

 

You have a Man Utd supporter there -

WHY??

 

unless of course you get money or tax relief for giving employment to adults with challenging conditions who normal companies wouldn't give a chance to??

Why are you all at IKEA?

[ICTDirect_Dave]

Why are you all at IKEA?

 

It does rather look like the warehouse of that well-known flat-pack labyrinth doesn't it?

 

But, I can assure you those racks are full of desktops and servers, not wardrobes!

Huh

 

REAL computers are the same size as a wardrobe

 

at least they were when I started working on them

Morning All!

 

Once again it's time to put out my Friday call for final entries before this afternoon's draw!

 

Any new entries received today will be valid for the next four mini draws and our grand prize draw too!

[bald_pig]

Help!

 

I need a server

(Help) they just broke a laptop

(Help) you know I need a desktop

(Help)

 

so much younger than today

I never needed anybody's help in any way

But now these days are gone I'm not so quick to boot

Now I find I've broke my hinge, I've opened up the vents

Help me if you can, I'm slowing down

And I don't appreciate "404 not found"

Help me get my fan speed back down

Won't you please, please help me?

My free RAM seems to vanish in the haze

But every now and then I feel so unstable

I know that I just need you but you leave me on the table

Help me if you can, I'm slowing down

And I don't appreciate "file not found"

Help me get my boot speed back down

Won't you please, please help me?

When I was younger, so much younger than today

I never needed anybody's help in any way

But now these days are gone I'm not so slow

Now I find, I've changed my mind, I've been replaced by Dave.

Help me if you can, I'm slowing down

And I do appreciate you being sound

Helped me get my workload back down

Won't you please, please help me, help me, help me, ooh?

@ICTDirect_Dave When's the draw happening?..

[DJ-1701]

@ICTDirect_Dave When's the draw happening?..

 

It most likely happened, but need to contact the person involved depending on the prize. Also as we know editing and uploading footage can take time.

 

I must say I first looked at that and thought that @ICTDirect_Dave has won.

[LeMarchand]

@ICTDirect_Dave When's the draw happening?..

 

He might be having to blur out some of the Wall of Awesome to spare the more sensitive members.

[bald_pig]

From the rules:

 

 

• Weekly mini upgrade draws will take place each Friday of the competition at 3pm.
  

 

 

Also, I wasn't contacted before the draw last week, tut tut Dave!

Hmm... they could use cut outs of ICT Direct staff faces to cover sensitive content for modesty.

Contact BEFORE the draw? Are you saying you 'fixed' it?

Before the video, same difference!

Thanks, for some reason I thought it was 2pm. I'm just impatient!
