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.....

a little celebration ......

we decided to go for a night out ... everyone apart from lauren who was working at a theatre thing. So Blackfriars for food (and drink), Five, Siberia, Stadia, and many others.....they gave up at 3.30 in the morning, I had given up hours before... this a shot of Keiran, Karla and Sarah P., and one each of Sarah R and Ian ...I'm not in there ..I'm not stupid :) Several sore heads were reported this morning ..mine being one of them. I really shouldn't drink shots..

changed my mind .......

We've decided to hold off the e-commerce on the site till we're settled in to the new place, (waaayyy too busy even without this) plus we're seriously thinking about keeping on the exisitng studio purely to deal with the fine art printing.....

So the Castlegate Studio will be open for a few more months to see how it goes, plus that will take the pressure off of the move of some of the big gear to Cotton Street.... well that's the theory .....

what do you think? ......

We're currently looking at buying a new Fuji flatbed vacuum printer with RIP. Loadsamoney, but supposed to be one of the best. Any artists / designers out there, what's your thoughts? Feedback would be hugely appreciated on this one..... contact me on dave@paradoxsolved.com ..... thanks!

thanks for the response....

Many thanks to everyone who responded to the post about Sarah leaving. We will be in touch with everyone who applied for the job.
