Apple iPhone 3GS

By Ollie, Added to Staff Ramblings, We Like


So, Apple have announced the next version of the ever popular iPhone - the 3GS. Apple promises faster processing, video capabilities, a compass (always handy when using the map!), voice control and better battery life. All good…

Well, after several software updates and a totally new version, where the hell is Flash browser support for the inbuilt Safari browser? I mean, come on Apple! As a digital agency, we were seriously hoping that we’d be able to see rich media content on the iPhone.

This isn’t a selfish need of mine, lots of people have questioned why no previous version will have Flash capabilities. Not only will it give users much richer browsing experiences, but the possibilities with mobile advertising semi-hinge on the iPhone being able to show Flash. Who wants to see a drab, low-res GIF alternative show up in place of a video expander?? I don’t!

Another gripe has to be the lack of MS Office again! It can open attachments, but editing a Word doc is still not possible. There are apps out there which are a little more extensive but they hardly do the same job as creating a new document, spreadsheet etc.

I love my iPhone, but I’m dissapointed with the missing features. Steve, if you’re reading this - give me a call :)

The fastest job application ever!

By Ollie, Added to Random, We Like


We at Selesti take pride in our recruitment policy. As you’d expect, we ensure our policy covers equal opportunities through to ensuring the right candidate gets the job.

We have an advert on our site for a web developer, which has had a great response. But I think we’ve found our man.

Today we received an application from “Joe” which reads:

Please can I have this job.

I love you.

Our reply was simple:

WOW! You’ve got the job, start on Monday.

Joe was quick off the mark.

Excellent. See you Monday at 9.

We look forward to Joe joining the company - Joe, if you’re out there - we still need a reference.

“Best Ever” skill school

By Tom, Added to Music, Random, We Like


There’s a bright future for the club approximately 50% of the Selesti team follow (miserably).

They featured in the “Best Ever” skill school on Sky Sports’ Soccer AM programme, their words not ours.

NCFC Skill School

Suffice to say these two are a tad more skillful than anyone at Selesti HQ…

YrWall - Digital Graffiti Wall

By Ollie, Added to Design, Random, We Like


When we attended the 2008 BIMA awards in London last week we finally had a chance to see the YR Wall Digital Graffiti stand.

It’s a fantastic idea and had lots of budding graf artists tagging and spraying anything from sheep in fields to their company’s logo.

Copy cats?

By Ollie, Added to Selesti Web Project, Staff Ramblings


There is no hiding good design on the web, and good web design is meant to inspire others. We’re all for that.

Having designed and developed www.soulshaker.co.uk over a number of years, the site has earned us an array of awards and accolades - featuring on hundreds of CSS and design showcase sites. All good.

Doing the rounds with analytics I came across a number of sites with striking similarities to the Soulshaker site. Many of which are actually using the same images and code on our server, naughty naughty! Read the rest of this entry »

“Small Hands. Big Plans.”

By Tom, Added to Random, Staff Ramblings, We Like


This is a friend of Selesti’s short film, submitted to the Virgin Media Shorts competition this summer, shortlisted as one of the best of all entries.

The adulation is no surprise to us, the guy has already had a film shown at Cannes, look out for more of his stuff soon…

Visit the Virgin Media Shorts site here and leave some nice feedback for him - or abuse if the hands freak you out like they do Michelle!
