Jason's Blog Site

For sometime now I've wanted to update my company website, but time constrants and family have meant that I've put it off for a few years now, but now that has al changed. With a slow year for work, I took the time to re-vamp and hopefully generate more business.

Below is a screen grab of the homepage, this site is built from scratch, with a few flash elements thrown in.

Photo's of your pride and joy are great, BUT sometimes nothing beats a really good illustrated image.

Below is an example of a Mitsubishi GTO Twin Turbo, drawn in CorelDraw X4.  It took to good part of 24hrs to complete, and if I'm honest, still needs some work doing to it.

Just recently, I've noticed that due to the lack of use my car has been getting, that the battery is not quite charged as it should be. There's nothing wrong with the battery, just that the alarm draws power from the battery and it drains over a few weeks of none use. So armed with 'google search' I set about looking for a solution to my problem, and the first thing I found I liked it alot.

My first link was to the Maplins website, here Maplin.co.uk and found this 

It's a solar panel trickle charger. It comes with connectors to plug into your cigerette lighter socket, or clips to connect direct to battery. (The cigerette lighter option is the easiest, but only if your car's socket is not switchable live, mines switchable, so I'm going to have to run a new wire that's perminant live to it.)

The charger draws power from the sun or artifical light, and since England is cloudy (alot) it still works. So just plug it in when I get home, unplug when I won't to use the car and no more dead battery woes, and its meant to prolong the life of your battery.
