December 2003
Gosh! We've been too busy to update this page with what's been
happening (basically a lot of Client site updates).
In other news... As for the last two years, we decided not to send out our printed Wymondham
Christmas cards again but instead to donate their cost to some beneficial
use, so as last year chose
East Anglia's Children's Hospices for their excellent work; just
before Christmas, we delivered film DVDs and music CDs to their
Quidenham hospice. We
did, however, re-use our
virtual card for Clients,
as we haven't had any real snow yet this year.
September 2003
We are currently selling a set of premium domain names on behalf of
Morris Associates who had registered them for a project.
The domain names are:
ConstructionSolicitors.com
ConstructionSolicitors.co.uk
Construction-Solicitors.com and
Construction-Solicitors.co.uk
As you can see, they cover a complete set of generic domain names
and they are available for immediate transfer. If you are interested
in acquiring them, please contact us.
August 2003
Over the weekend of 16/17 August (Spammers really like sending
their stuff at weekends), they sent out another massive batch and, in common with
many other Spammers' tactics, they used some faked e-mail addresses
(usually on the recipient list too) for the Reply To address so that
all the bounces and abuse messages would go to someone innocent.
They weren't from us: as we've said before we never send out
unsolicited commercial e-mails.
July 2003
We've taken the web site for Women in Dentistry live:
see it here.
The interim redesign for the
Association for Project Management is now live as well.
June 2003
Another extremely busy month for us, with an interim redesign under
way for the
Association for Project Management, more updates to
adjudication.co.uk with interim PDF versions of Court judgments on
construction adjudication and the almost-completed web site for Women
in Dentistry.
Domain Registry of America
We've received nine "Important Notice[s]" from these people
suggesting we renew some domains with them (they're also trading as
"Domain Registry of Europe"). This is the same company who were
injuncted by Register.com in the US for their "Domain Registrar
Slamming" tactics: see
http://news.zdnet.co.uk/story/0,,t269-s2128103,00.html and
http://www.whois.sc/news/2002-12/registry-america.html
A note to our Clients: don't forget that we will remind you when
your domain names are due for renewal and will renew them on your
behalf so as to have no break in service for your web site, e-mail,
etc.
May 2003
So what's been going on this month? For starters, we are now happy
to announce that we can offer our Clients Business-level ADSL
connections with 20:1 contention ratio and multiple static IP addresses from only £49.95 per
month (plus VAT and a small installation fee and subject to availability
from BT). Pay annually and get one month free! Contact
us to discuss your requirements.
There have been some massive updates to
adjudication.co.uk with a whole load more Court judgments on
construction adjudication.
Updates to a number of other Client sites continue, plus we've been
busy designing some HTML e-mail "letterheadings" for Clients who want
them.
We've also been trying out a dynamic web-site system for a Client
with member registration and authorisation, upload areas and messaging
forums. Still in its development stage, this looks good to us so far!
New Clients include Women in Dentistry and we'll be starting work
on their site in a few days' time.
April 2003
Bless 'em! There's a bunch of Spammers calling themselves
NetWizards and working out of Florida who regularly send out a load of
their unsolicited requests offering Web Design, Flash, PHP, CGI, Data
Base Development at $25 per hour. I reckon you might get what you pay
for, but that's an aside. These e-mails suggest they've fallen on hard
times - I just wish they'd go bust - and are 'signed' by Steve Warren.
Other subject lines include "Outsource your web development".
Over the last weekend of April (when Spammers really like sending
their stuff), they sent out another massive batch and, in common with
many other Spammers' tactics, they used some faked e-mail addresses
(usually on the recipient list too) for the Reply To address so that
all the bounces and abuse messages would go to someone innocent.
They weren't from us, and we weren't the only ones affected: do a
Google search on
"Steve Warren" +NetWizards and you'll see some other reports.
For the avoidance of doubt, we never send out unsolicited
commercial e-mails.
March 2003
As we suggested last month, we've now taken live an updated and
improved web site for the
Hersham Dental Practice.
Oops! How remiss of us: we forgot to mention that we took the
Major
Projects Adjudication Group's web site live towards the end of
February. Its design is modular to allow the Group to increase the
extent of the site without:
- waiting until all the content is prepared (every web site is
always "Under Construction" after all...); and
- our having to redesign or amend the entire site each time an
additional element is added.
February 2003
The online conveyancing quotation system for
Barrett & Co.'s web site has now been taken live following a
week's 'final warning' given by their web site co-ordinator.
Another account at 'staging' is the web site for
Centrewire Limited, who produce access gates and stiles for the
countryside. This Client is also a customer for the Sophos Anti-Virus
software that we can supply for our customers.
We will also be working on updating and improving the web site for
the
Hersham Dental Practice having taken over the ongoing design and
maintenance of this site.
January 2003
As we mentioned last year, we've been busy
working on an online conveyancing quotation system for
Barrett & Co.'s web site. Having taken it into soak testing just
before Christmas 2002, we've spent a while incorporating enhancements
into the system in terms of reporting which the Client added to their
'wishlist' as the system was extensively tested by their residential
property department.
