Internet, speed, development – and everything else

Friday, July 10th, 2009

I’ve been developing websites for some time. And each website seems to have it’s own challenges.

For myself, it’s been, always, looking for a connection to the internet that I could rely on to allow me to monitor and develop websites without having to thing how long it was going to take to do an upload or download task. Over the last weeks it has been brought home to me how much I need this – when I didn’t have it.

I’m looking at how best to improve the SEO position within my own CMS system. A lot seems to be happening within the search engines and trying to get all the right links into Google seems to be a never ending problem. Trouble is -  I like things tidy. I am seriously thinking about the CMS and how to get the search engines to  trigger links a bit better… I’ll find a way.

As soon as my speed improves – then it’ll be a quick look at Windows 7 before I have to upgrade!

Will continue this later….

Vista for breakfast anyone?

Thursday, January 25th, 2007

I wonder how many people are now using Vista
I spend my life using computers and some of them have fairly old versions of operating systems. Nearly up to date now – but some will never become Vista solutions!
Yes – I have taken the plunge – and the main development computer is now running both Vista and Office 2007. Nothing really radical – since I had been using the release candidate installed in a seperate partition so there was no problems with hardware compatibility. However XP and Office 2003 were getting flaky – updates were not always installing properly and I did not want to go for a complete rebuild. So there we are – upgrade worked successfully – and I did not have retype all my passwords etc again!
Do I like the interface?
Yes, I do. But then I like the latest and the best. And I’m different from my neighbours – so I can crow for a little while!
Does it make my computer work better?
Not really – I think it is a much bigger operating system now – and even needs a DVD to do the install and as such there is quite a lot of “bloat”.
So there you are….
