AroundMyRoom Diving in Hurghada

September 8, 2008

During our holiday in Hurghada, Egypt we learned diving (PADI) and during our first boat trip we had ‘video-bubbles‘ with us, making a video of the dives we made that day. The flash video is a short impression of what we did. Enjoy!

MediaTitan

September 7, 2008

Ah .. I see that people at work made public one of our latest projects: The Conceptronic MediaTitan and someone told mpcclub after reading the newspage

a complete new kind of media player (yep all kind of formats can be played (like the cfullhdma)) / recorder with DVB-T functionalities. Especially for those countries with large DVB-T usage (free to air) .. the remote control is awesome rocking in usability but totally different in what people are used to use …

the design is slick and slim and it was kept very simple.

Internal is a nice new processor (will be revealed later) ;-)

Especially on the GUI the dev team has worked hard for many month’s to get a nice usable GUI (Graphical User Interface)

A small hint or tip of the main menu:

Yolanthe scheert Giel

September 4, 2008

Tsja.. wat mot je scheren bij Giel … Ben de beste man 1 keer bij 3FM tegengekomen .. en bovenstaande foto hangt / hing ergens bij 3FM .. maar goed nu luister ik toch al niet of nauwelijk naar 3FM .. Ik ben zo’n nieuwsjunk die Radio1 ’s morgens in de auto volgt en daarna later naar Evers staat op luistert, maar die man lijkt ook meer vakantie te hebben dan dat hij het programma presenteert ..

Heb nu dan maar een CD wisselaart in de auto in, kan ik mijn eigen mix-tapes luisteren ;-)
