This is a quote from the website:

Working with different projects is always interesting and it will be interesting to see if we can get this website to rank higher on Google.

The new Google Chrome OS is an opertating system that is just for accessing the interenet. It is said to have a 7 second boot time and everything works through the browser, so everything is stored and runs online. While not for everyone it does make sense for people who just want to use the internet with their laptop for example. Watch the video below.

We all need some motivation some times. I have been watching some video lectures on the website www.ted.com, and on it a Tony Robbins talk.

The frustration with big companies

admin — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 19:49:56 +0000

I have had what seems like a problem with so many companies technology and support systems recently. First I could not find out how to move a telephone number, then could not sign up for BT Tradespace as it kept throwing up errors, then Microsoft Adcenter would not let me reactivate my account after it was so long since I had used it and needed my new card details.

Come on guys, get your websites and support systems working! If companies want us to use their services over their rivals then it needs to work, and be reliable.

I think that in a lot of cases small is beautiful, I switch our main hosting in our company to a smaller provider and now get great support. It just helps most to be able to get a straight answer. So if you want a straight talking company that can work with you for your digital and web solutions then my companies response is so much better so talk to us.
