New Clients!

posted by Grant

So, we have been busy. Nose to the grind. Grafting. We have a few new clients:

  1. We are extremely happy to announce that we will be working with Leeds Film Festival on their upcoming rebrand. Please keep a look out for posts as we develop their new site.
  2. Elite commerce are a project management resource company who specialise in delivering corporate objectives in the IT sector. And they’re good, as we should know from working with them helping Sky to launch and re-brand their new sites in the gaming sector.

These are just a couple of the projects we’re currently working on. There are a few more in the pipe line that we’ll be talking about in the near future.

posted by Midwinter

‘Jimdog’ brings us news over on our (at last count) 123 comment post over the state of Firefox 3 and Google Browser Sync’s lack of compatibility. GBS has been open sourced very quietly by Google which means that the server side code should also now be available!

Googlers Googling For Ideas?

posted by Midwinter

As always, I was over on reddit, grabbing some mostly useless news and friffery to wind my brain down. Things didn’t go to plan though when I came across this post and was immediately struck by a resemblance to one I’d written myself not so many months back. interested in reading more? please click here

Google Browser Sync for Firefox 3

posted by Midwinter

UPDATED on 17th June, Firefox download day so scroll for the latest

One of my favourite extensions for my preferred choice of web browser (Mozilla Firefox) has to be Google Browser Sync.

This nifty extension lets you synchronise not only your bookmarks, but visited URLs, passwords and history across all of the browsers you install it on. For example I run it in the office at work, then shut down the PC for the day and head home. I load up Firefox on my home PC and all of my tabs are there from when I left work.

I also use it to synch my browsers across all of my workstations and servers, it beats having to copy paste through Remote Desktop or VNC. As it’s a Firefox extension, there’s no problem when I switch from Windows to Mac and then to Linux.
