It's the final countdown!!

Tomorrow is the last day of November, meaning it's the last day of Movember!

Finally the Octopus team will be able to have a well earned shave, and get rid of the itchy fuzz which has been keeping their faces company throughout November! The Moustaches have been coming on very well, with Mike sporting the 'Trucker' style tash, and both Jonathan and Dean opting for the 'Box Car' look. 

Have a look back on our previous posts to see how their Mo's have been developing!

Computer Gadget!

New in at Octopus is a brilliant computer mouse / calculator / numeric keypad made by Canon. The Canon Xmark-1 is particularly handy if you are using a laptop which doesn't have a numeric keypad, as it has a feature allowing you to switch between using the calculator and the numeric keypad.

The keys are like those you will find on a general computer keyboard, and it also has a scrolling wheel built in. The calculator has a 10 digit display, and the bottom of the Canon Xmark-1 is made from old recycled photocopiers, it connects to your computer via Bluetooth, and is a really good way of keeping your desk clutter free.

To have a look at it in more detail, go onto our office stationery website, where you can also buy online. Alternatively you can give us a call on 0845 8124 888

Have you seen the latest episode of Ricky Gervais's new sitcom Life's too Short? Johnny Depp is meeting the sitcoms main character, Warwick Davis, as part of his method acting to get into his new role. The show is hilarious  and you can watch it here on BBC iplayer.

You'll notice Depp making notes on a voice recorder/dictaphone, which although comical in the scene, is a very effective and easy way to make notes. Olympus have just bought out the new WS Range of voice recorders, coming with a free silicone case to protect the recorder. They offer crisp and clear sound quality in any environment, perfect for meetings and on the go note making.

You can easily adjust the settings for the best audio, it has a low cut filter, as well as a voice filter. the top end WS-750M and WS-760M can also play back MP3 and WMA music files, and offer ultra high-quality PCM (WAV) recordings and playback. The WS-760M also features an FM tuner with FM recording, a fantastic bonus making the device even more handy than ever.

Available with the free silicon cases are:

WS-650S Silver (2GB)
WS-650S Blue (2GB)
WS-750M Grey (4GB)
WS-750M Red (4GB)
