Blacknight Mobile Gets Facelift
Our mobile site has been given an overhaul. It needed it! The all new blacknight.mobi is currently in phase 1. It should render on most phones without any issues. (It’s currently scoring 5 on the ready.mobi test) Currently it’s showing some basic information about the company, the latest posts from the status site and this [...]

Doing Business In Spain? Get A .es Domain And Save!
If you’re doing business in Spain then you should register a .es domain name. You could also get playful and try to find a “domain hack” using “es” – think of all the words that end in “es” … So what’s the deal? From now until the end of June 2010 we’ve slashed the price [...]

Coffee Machine Upgrades and More About Mugs
Since I’m a bit of a coffee addict (as are a lot of our staff) I decided the time had come to upgrade our office coffee machine. If you recall, we got ourselves quite a nice machine nearly two years ago. Unfortunately that machine, while excellent in its own right, simply could not cope with [...]

Get Serious With .Biz
One of the things we like to do here at Blacknight is to bring you special offers on domains (and hosting). But we also like to focus on domain extensions that you might overlook. So what about .biz? The .biz domain extension was launched to help business find a space online. Sure, you could register [...]

Stop Stealing Images – Get Free Stock Photo Credits
Just because it’s on the internet does not mean it’s free. You may be able to access plenty of content online at no cost, but that does not give you any right to (ab)use it as you see fit. Unfortunately when it comes to images a lot of people seem to think that you can [...]
Another Coffee Related Post
We’ve talked about our fixation with coffee in the past. We’ve since discovered, to my horror, that not all of our staff actually drink coffee, but prefer tea. Needless to say both the coffee and the tea drinkers need mugs to drink out of. So today we took delivery of some new mugs. These aren’t [...]
Quick Tour Of AntiSpam.ie
We’ve been proactive about spam for a long time. While all our hosting accounts have some kind of email filtering available with them sometimes it’s simply not enough, so we also offer a premium service – AntiSpam.ie The web based control panel allows you to tweak a lot of settings and gives you a silly [...]

Customer Service With A Smile?
People get confused by technology, so they reach out to their providers for help and guidance. Unfortunately not everyone is good humoured or patient about it (and that’s on both sides). Earlier today I was trying to sort out a rather annoying issue I had with Flickr (it was of my own making – not [...]

What Can You Do With A Horse’s Head?
Our logo is a horse’s head. You’ll see it in various formats on all our websites, business cards, headed paper, adverts and everthing else.. Now we’ve been sent not one, not two but four horse’s heads in our logo’s style, but made of polystyrene foam (big thanks to MadeInHollywood) Now let’s be honest, they are [...]
