Goodbye Safari, hello Chrome
by Martin Dower Devoted as I am to Safari it’s finally time to say goodbye and move over to the latest shiny toy in the box, Google Chrome. I’m not sure how I am feeling at the moment as I do love Safari for it’s integration into OSX but it’s just losing too much ground [...]

Interns needed
The long summer holiday now looms for recent school and university leavers complete with parents whining about their kid’s job prospects. What an ideal time to consider joining Connected for a few months on our Summer of 2011 Intern Project. We’re looking for a couple of bright, keen and hardworking peeps who have a basic [...]
UPDATE: PHONE SYSTEM DOWN

Difficult race at Croft

After his brilliant 6th at Oulton Park 2 weeks [...]

And we’re in…
Today was switch-over day to the new offices and it’s gone pretty well. We had a final check at the weekend to ensure the broadband link was in and working and the voice circuit and all looked ok. This morning our new VOIP system went live using softphones on the new telephone numbers and apart from [...]
We’re outta here…
After months of planning and waiting far too long for BT Openreach to install a pair of broadband lines we’re finally on the move to our new offices…200 metres down the road to D Mill (D255). As part of the move we’re changing our data and voice systems so we’ve got new telephone numbers but [...]
