What's worse than coming back into work on a Monday after a great weekend off? Coming back to work and finding out that what you're working so hard to develop and promote wasn't working for most of the weekend. The Sharper Edge website was down, and SolarBrite too. Click them now though, they work! A repeating 'memory space' issue I'm told (yawn).
If I could build a functioning platform out of some of the stuff I have laying aorund at home; my old pc that's in pieces, a myriad of cables, sockets, dics, boards and other stuff that i can't identify, I could well be the next Alan Sugar or Bill Gates??!
Our new images for SolarBrite are nearly ready, Lemonsplash Photography called in and it sounds like things are going well.
On top of this, on a seperate project, the designers of our packaging Creative Edge have sent some photos that they're using for their new site. We're really pleased with their results.
Exciting times ahead........

Video, done!
The video is complete!!!! Solar Brite Video
I had great plans for the original video, pumping tunes, special effects and all the rest of it, but what began to transform was the devil child of over-engineered poop! So I binned that and made it a lot simpler. Pretty pleased with the results, the most important thing was to be able to dispay that we have a product and give it its rightful exposure on the www.
Now that's done I can rest easy that the YouTube link on our site www.thesharperedge.co.uk serves a purpose, and leave it to my colleagues to come up with the next great adventure in film making!

Solar Brite Domination?
Wow, for those that didn;t know, Solar Fairy lights really aren't just for Christmas, the new range has proved really popular and I guess as the nights are stating to draw in (who said that - can this really be true, REALLY?) the demand grows to make gardens and houses pretty all over the country.
Creativeedge.uk.com have had a big hand in the new packaging, so much so, the boss Ross (let's call him David Bailey for now) is photographing our products for their new website. This at the same time as Tony from Lemonsplashphotography.com is preparing our product for the next leap in taking pics in what I only can invisage as a Santas Grotto at the bottom of his garden - can't wait to see these photos.
And I've swapped the mouse and keyboard for a camera for a few minutes today putting together the new SolarBrite video, James Cameron I AM NOT, but it'll tell a story of it's own I'm sure, like make sure you eat before using a camera without a tripod or it comes out more like Cloverfield! Just got to pick the soundtrack now...... Always look on the BRITE side of life.....? Just a thought - and trust me this was with no effort whatsoever :-)
