Medion 4GIG USB Memory Stick with reader
Once again while out shopping for the odds and ends at Aldi, I spotted what I thought was a cheaper than normal 4GIG memory stick. I bought this item as it was mixed in with the 4GIG SDHC Memory cards and had a sign saying £6.79 and as I needed a USB Key (8 would have been better), I bought this along with the rest of the shopping. I had not checked the receipt they printed off and once home, discarded all the box it came in (plastic wrap) and went on to use it.
PowerDown Energy Saving Plug
I got my hands on a couple of these plugs and as you can tell from the photo, these are UK plugs of course. This nifty device basically has 3 sockets with the top one been for the computer while the one on either side is for your equipment. The goal here is when your computer is on – then all the devices plugged into the sides are powered on (such as Monitor, Printer, Speakers etc). When you close down for the night – it senses that the computer is off (as it is not drawing power) and powers down the equipment on its own.
Now you may say “but it only has two sockets – I need more then that” – in this instance then you plug all the items you need to go off automatically into a extension cable and plug this extension cable into the socket on the left or right. Depending on your layout – this could include all items such as Router, Cable Modem box, Printer, screen, speakers and so forth.
Monitoring Electricity usage
I pay for my Gas and Electricity on a 3 months cycle, I always pass a meter reading to make sure that it is true to life and none of this Estimated stuff as that could leave you with a nasty shock when they do actually read the meters. Due to both the high prices and how much equipment I own that is powered by electricity – I decided to get myself one of those fancy meters that tell you in real time how much is been used and how much it all costs. I Called my Supplier (Souther Electric) and switched to a package which allows the free device.
Mesh Back Support Backrest
Another item I spotted while out shopping today and by luck I could test this out before even buying the item as they happen to have some office type chair for sale also (which I never bought of course). You can attach this to your office chair, your car seat and anywhere else I guess you can slip this on. The idea is it promotes correct posture and saves you having back troubles.
multi card reader SDHC support
On most of my desktop and laptop computers I have various memory card readers but they all seem to be missing the one I need – this been Micro SD. While out today in one of these cheap shops where everything is £1 ($1.50) – I Spotted this all-in-one reader. My reasoning here is that you cannot go really too wrong given the price, I knew it would work as in picking up the device so I took the plunge and bought the thing.
