Mailing List

Keeping in the theme of 'new things', I have installed a mailing list application which will make communicating with customers much easier.

It features a fancy template function which I find to be fantastic, it all went very smoothly and the best thing about the software: It was free. If you are interested take a look at this and see what you think.

Very handy for updating clients quickly with only a few clicks. Many of you will have received an email I sent out today using the software.

If your geeky like me, you should enjoy tinkering like I did.

Happy Christmas

I Hope everybody has had a fantastic Christmas!

I was lucky enough to receive the new(ish) apple magic mouse and I must say it is a fantastic piece of design and isn't a bad mouse either, which is nice.

The battery life seems to be stable enough, I've been using it non-stop since christmas day and its currently on 93% so thumbs up apple for power economy.

The shape fits the palm like a dream, and helps relax your wrist by encouraging the user to lay their hand flat to the surface. In theory this will reduce wrist ache as it keeps the arm straight and not arched like a conventional mouse (and I did use the word "conventional" to describe other mouses because this bad-boy is in another league).

However, I've discovered the downside that I never considered before using my first wireless mousey gadget. The mouse requires your macs bluetooth to remain on. This is no trouble on an iMac as the computer will remain connected to a power source at all times while in use but on a Macbook like mine the battery life will be drianed much quicker if not connected to the mains.

I know that it isn't much of a downside, but i'm just very fussy.

Thats enough magic mouse for now. Have a great new year.

New Blog Section

New features appear on the website!

Thats right, the addition of a news/blog/articles section. I've long been considering adding a little more dynamicness if there is such a word, and now that time has come.

The blog will be full of reviews, ideas, news, technology and anything I deem fit to appear on the site.

If anyone reading this wishes to help out writing for the blog please contact me and i'd love to discuss your ideas with you.

Thats it for now, keep your eyes open for more content appearing shortly.
