Yesterday we entertained a client who (thankfully) we know very well and have enjoyed a lot of banter with over the years. He arrived on foot, spent several grand with us and was then leaving to catch a bus to meet his wife at a restaraunt. It was piddling down so I offered him a lift. Now, my boss has just fitted a dashboard camera to the company bus. To protect us, he says. To spy on us, says I. And the client clocks it right away. "These are brilliant." Says he. "I've got a little cheap one, but the connector's broken." "Yes" I reply "We got this one online. So be careful what you say about (insert bosses name here), He'll be listening. "How do you mean?" "Well, as well as recording to an SD card, there's a live feed, direct to his monitor, on his desk." "NO!...How does that work?" "It's wired into the bluetooth and piggybacks off our phone's 3G, like a wifi hotspot." "That's f*****g brilliant! I want one!" He then promptly pulls out his phone and dials work to get details of this camera, only to get cut off by poor signal. "Never mind," I say "Just speak slowly and clearly near the camera and he'll hear you. Then he can email it on to you..." Which he did. Anyway, I dropped him off, came back, removed the SD card and played it back on the plasma and managed to reduce my boss, his wife and our Epson account manager to quivering incontinent heaps of flesh on the floor. Once I'd started, I couldn't stop myself. The bollox just poured out of me. I'll have to come clean at some point... ...After his cheque clears.
You seem to be on top form at the moment Ken Wife and I convinced my youngest niece (15yo) that the fitbit devices were Police/Court tags we had to wear as we had been caught window licking. I do like a good wind-up. As for going to hell I would doubt it as God (if such a thing exists) likes a good joke, after all to paraphrase Robin Williams, look at the Platypus
If only. Unfortunately, it runs on a ten minute loop, over writing the card, so once he put it back in the car, it covered it.
But surely it backed the video up to the cloud using the car's tyres, when it runs over the Wireless Induction Neural Discharge Upload Point (W.I.N.D.U.P)?
