Security Issues
Normally we blog about pretty much all news we have – both good news and bad news. This morning, however, we felt it prudent to take a slightly different route and emailed our clients directly before publishing anything anywhere else. As has been covered in the media today we had a security issue which led [...]

Calm Reasoned Dialogue Helps
The last week or so has been “interesting” to say the least. (Last time round it was only a couple of days. …. now it’s stretched to a week) It’s also been incredibly busy, which is why I’m only getting round to posting this now and even now I doubt that anything I post will [...]
Think Of The Hungry Dragons And Get Mobile
Mobile is big and getting bigger. If you ignore it as part of your business then you do so at your peril. Bert, our pet Dragon, wanted to get a takeaway and all he could find was a PDF menu! And while you may not believe in dragons you’ve probably come across restaurant websites that [...]
Anonymous Targets Irish Government Sites In Response To “Irish SOPA”
The last couple of days have been very “interesting”. As I mentioned previously, the Irish government intends to enact legislation that could have a “chilling effect”. I went into this a bit in my previous post and far more eloquent people have written extensively about the entire subject. My key issues with the legislation can [...]

Wikipedia And Other High Profile Sites Protest SOPA / PIPA
I posted about our thoughts on SOPA and why we were opposed to it over Christmas. In the last week or so the US government has backpedalled to a certain degree in respect of the tabled SOPA legislation, but they still want something. Whether it’s “a” SOPA, PIPA or something else is you can be [...]
