Forgot to say...

We have finally taken over unit 17 Cotton Street. It's small but really necessary for us to spread out....

Serving the nation ..?

Totally misleading title, that one! Just a short one to tell you about the installation of more servers at our studio (running Lucid Lynx as per usual). We decided to stick with HP Compaq technology a while ago, using G5 & G6 servers with dual Xeons, and seem to have made the right choice.

In addition, we are swapping out our old custom-built workstations with end-of-line HP XW workstations. Ooooh.. fast...

thanks for all the fish...

Seriously, many thanks to the many applicants for the graphics assistants job. Sorry to tell you but this position is now filled. We are currently trialling Ross Fraser in this position for a couple of months.

However, we are expanding, so watch this space...

time for a new view...

We are looking for a graphics assistant and we have had experienced people apply for what is really a minimum wage job for a starter.

Why? The colleges are hugely over-producing media and design students.

Some of them are also coming out of college with egos that are really scary. I've had people tell me that I was doing things wrongly, when they have had days worth of experience. Time for the colleges to give students a sense of perspective of where they are in the scheme of things.
