Very Fiery .....

So we finally did it. On top of our set of new G5 servers running Linux (Har de Har), we have also just taken delivery of our brand-new super-duper EFI (Canon) RIP and print server. For such a beast of a thing, it's tiny..... you feel you could put it in a pocket :) Ok, not quite!

It's a bit of a step away from our existing Best RIP technology, even though we recently spent a bomb in upgrading to the very latest version (they're not scared to charge, these big software companies). We thought it was time to go the hardware route as it's more stable and doesn't cost £600 a time when we need a colour profile.

Watch this space for progress reports....

Sea change .....

I was going to be sarky with that title, but changed my mind. We had another staff night out on Saturday, but this time it was to say goodbye to Sarah our accountant. She's off to work with the hush-hush men in gaberdines in the South-East. She's going to be sorely missed around here, both as a colleague, and as a friend. We wish her the absolute best in her new job. (but hope she changes her mind and comes back):)

Starting in Soul for food, we progressed through the city becoming ever more erratic until we were horizontal in The Wild Boar, where we met up with Lauren, who was out celebrating her birthday (forgot to say Happy Birthday, Lauren). Good night out, with photos (hopefully) to follow.

Maaj, our new accountant, starts later this week at our new studios at Cotton Street. Hopefully we won't scare her too much :)
