Calling The Old Locust Swarm

We’re you a member of Locust back in the earlier part of this decade?
You remember, Locust, the SMS Community that we all loved dearly and that Orange killed?

There’s now a dedicated group on Facebook, especially for the old Locust Community.
Come along and join us, and help reunite the swarm.

Cellnet Marketing Letter

Oh how funny.
This letter was found amongst some old bits and pieces, and made everybody in the office chuckle.
It’s an old letter from Cellnet from 1999.

Old KEB Peacehaven Customer Service Presentation

Here’s another little gem from the KEB era.
A presentation, compiled in Powerpoint, to keep customers happy whilst they were having to wait to be served.

Rufus Stone

We can’t remember exactly where it is, otherwise we would’ve included a little Google map for you.
Now we got bored today (12th July 09) and thought we’d try and find it on Google [...]

Court Farm Barn

We just found these pics on an old CD from 2002.
They were originally taken on 14th August 2002 and are of a new install at Court Farm Barn, complete with rigger!

SIM card reader bargain

Ok so this isn’t strictly a mast or network thing, but it’s geeky and mobile related so we thought we’d write about it anyway. In any case it was such a bargain, we’re still excited by it.

Here’s the full gallery of pics for you as well.

Tuckton Water Tower

We’ve been on a little break in Bournemouth, and while we were down there, we couldn’t resist making a couple of visits to old friends.
The first friend we visited was Tuckton Water Tower.
Luckily the weather was nice and the photos came out quite well (unlike the last ones we seem to recall).

We took loads more [...]
