Kickstarter as a concept I think is generally a good thing. Having a great idea but no clue if it’s financially viable must be so common. Kickstarter fixes that problem by allowing people to put their plans out and there and if there is interest then you get funding upfront. That doesn’t mean, plenty of
DNS Server Can’t Resolve Against Itself
What an exciting, eye catching headline! We took a call from a potentially new customer who were unhappy with their current support provider. I went to take a look at the system and the main technical issues they were describing all seemed to be DNS related. There were immediately several things that jumped out to

Tile Mate
I’m always forgetting where I’ve put things Keys, phone and wallet are the usual suspects but I’ll frequently pick something up, then put it down and then have no idea where it’s gone. So when I first came across Tile Mate it seemed to have been made just for me! Tile Mate is a little

Birmingham Marathon 2017

Hello World June 2016.0
How are we almost halfway through the year?! Just realised I haven’t written anything since the end of January. This wasn’t intentional! It’s been a particularly manic start to the year and something I learnt long ago is that sometimes you have to stop doing one thing if you want to doing something else. But
