I got some USB fairy lights from eBay the other day. Looking forward to that :)

Also cashed in some iPoints to get a free USB hub so I can go peripheraltastic :banana:

Moving to a new Open Plan office (cuble), I feel the urge to madly personalise my little hole with lots of randomness.

Yay - my USB Fairy Light arrived. They are currently exuding a nuclear type blue halo around my screen :)
:rofl:

No sooner do I get the things going than the Health and Safety dude sends over my Fire Marshall to complain about my lights. "USB", I said, "LED", I said. "No heat, shock and or environmental hazards!" I said.
"Well done." He conceeded. :)

OK - I'll get a pic. You do know this involves my syncing my phone to the PC. They don't like each other and give me a window of about a nano second between connecting the phone and pressing the sync buttton before it all goes pear shaped!

Yes, I now hear rumours that the health and safety dude is purchasing his own set of USB Fairy Lights. I rule, thank you!

you can always e-mail it to yourself from your phone - that's what i do if i'm somewhere without a bluetooth connection..

just send a picture message, as normal, except when it asks you for the recipients phone number, just put in your e-mail address :)

Thanks for that. I already know how to do that, but emailing it is not covered in my call plan and would cost me. What a scrouge I am :teef:

Doesn't do it justice really... they're a lot brighter than they look in the photo.

The little ducky on top of my monitor also flashes... should have done a vid really. And no, as my boss says that is not a 70's porn calendar on the board - it's from Computer Arts. I'm not that way inclined!

Oh, the days of working in a cubicle......

Don't know where you work, but looks distinctly council. I worked for a place in Southampton that had partitions almost 6' high, it was like a cheap version of your own office :D

Oh Lord no! I've temped in local government and have vowed not to make a full time habit of it. I work at a (anonymous) University.

Shame they don't change colour though :(
There's no pleasing some people :)
His tongue comes out and everything!
Would be great if it did change colour though I must admit.

Aw, sorry to hear about the bearded one. Are they quite difficult to look after, all your beasties?
