a bit of fun .........

We've had our eyes opened at the number of people who read our blogs.....
It started off as a bit of getting it of our chests, and has turned into a really busy point of contact. Now we're wondering how busy.

So for the next month, if you're ordering print, we're going to give you a 10% discount on your order if you say the words "show me the discount" when you phone or email us.

Only for July though, so don't try it on August the 1st (well we might give in).

hardy har .....

Sound like a pirate, methinks! We've started the programme to replace all our servers with Linux Ubuntu running Apache, Samba etc. The first one is in but it's a sharp learning curve for me... I'm the one actually doing it. So in addition to Windows Xp, Server 2003, Mac OS 9 and 10, I'm also learning about Linux, oh so fast. Server 1 has just been swapped out, and 2,3 & 4 will be replaced in the next couple of months.

Don't worry though! The client-side uploading etc, won't be affected. Tons of testing will happen before we swap that out.

need an 18 foot ladder?......

The story of the move goes on..... and on..... Amazing the things you don't think about e.g. the 18 foot ladder that our decorator has left sitting in our entrance hall. We've phoned and texted leaving messages to say that we need this thing gone before the move of the big gear. Can we get a response? Yeah, right......

Reminds me of someone that I used to work with who was always saying 'I'm on it' and took years to finish every project, if he did. Me? I prefer to get stuff out of the way asap. Makes me sound like Mr Perfect, doesn't it? Wish I was.....
