When it comes to developing software technology’s a certain level of testing is expected before you sign it off for release. Hewlett-Packard however forgot to test some minor issues with its new web cam face tracking software.
It just doesn’t like black people.
Despite the glich in the software; I have to say that it looks like a great feature to have on a web cam; just as long as your not black.
The great thing about attempting a post everyday for 365 days is that when you run out of things to post about you can just post about somebody else that is a bit 365ish while posting a random picture of some stuff that was left in your shop.

This one is with out a shadow of a doubt the most fun 365 I have ever seen. If you havn’t seen it yet make yourself a cuppa head back to day one and be introduced to one of my favourite daily fixes. Duck365. Great job Alistair.

It’s been an interesting week so far with the crazy snow while working in the Metrocentre; it has shown me that there are some crazy people out there. When the most people woke up this morning they would have seen the TV news, listened to the radio or read in the newspapers “Do not travel unless absolutely necessary”.
Don’t get me wrong I have a business to run and for me to hit my targets I need people to hit the shopping centre and buy stuff. The number of people that had turned up to ask “how do I get in touch with customer services” and “how do I check the balance on my phone” if not exactly what I would call “necessary”. The prize of the day however goes to a guy that traveled 25 miles from Hexham to the Metrocentre to buy a screen protector for his mobile phone before heading back to the car park to drive home.
Certainly not “absolutely necessary”!
