Site News

We regularly review our hardware and systems to ensure that (a) the site is up, and (b) it's working as best it can, and (c) we're spending as little as possible in making (a) and (b) happen. As part of this we decided to do a fairly major overhaul of our office systems, where "overhaul" is a euphamism for "throw it all out and start from scratch". It's a little rough on the nerves but means we get to flush out all the little gremlins while also reducing the number of actual machines we have lying around.

On a practical note this means we may be a little slower to reply to emails for the next couple of days. It also means that, with the removal of half of the servers, we no longer get to use the server room as a pizza oven, but sacrifices must be made.

Wish us luck.

Don't forget: an iPad 2 is up for grabs in our HTML5 / CSS3 competition.

cheers,
Chris Maunder
