RSS feed me…

Friday, January 28th, 2011

The world of business is fast paced and some times you just can’t be everywhere at once. Well the answer is simple and already on your system.

The RSS feed is a simple message alert to tell you that something has been posted on a site you follow, and will contain a link to the new information. Think of it as a free magazine subscription to your favourite blogs or news websites etc. You can be come an up to date expert in almost any field with these at your side.

No longer shall you search the web for that up to date post or next big important bulletin and be beaten to the post by the next guy. If time is money you will save a fortune and don’t need to buy a thing, simply set up your RSS feeds using an appropriate client (we recommend Google Reader), then enjoy.

Sure its big enough… but look at the location!

Monday, January 24th, 2011

We all know that location matters. Flight paths, sewage outlets, main roads… but what about your server? Well now, that’s an interesting question…

It can be the difference between fast page load speed and slow ones. Everytime you visit a site, little packets of data travel huge distances to and from your server to the computer vieweing your website, but that distance needn’t be out of the country.

It can even effect the speed in which your site works best. We run backups overnight for instance at the times with the lightest traffic. But the time of a backup in America or India will not suit you as well. Our server’s are located in the country, just a car ride away and we maintain a close relationship with technicians who work diligently, maintaining our clients security and high quality level of performance.

The words long written down…

Thursday, January 20th, 2011

The written word has always been a thing of value, but this value is sky rocketing. Web content is becoming an increasingly valuable commodity from articles to teaching materials.

Good writers are now sought after by companies all over the world and its not just good grammar there looking for in a writer but in some cases SEO work to increase the ranking on search engines or expanding the content allow it it to come up in other wise unrelated searches.

All this may mean a new form of journalism, one not concerned as to the ground breaking topics of the article but instead the technological and marketable aspects of the article.

Death of a submit button…

Sunday, January 16th, 2011

Though instant search has been in use for a long time, it’s now being used by the search engine giant Google with new “google instant” and as such is now in the public eye. Soon the idea of typing in a box and clicking on a button will be a thing of past entirely and good riddance.

Instant searches allow you to see and alter a search there and then, refining as you go. This reduces the time taken to get to where you want to be. Other than the technical improvements it also changes the look of a search bar removing an extra button and giving the design interaction instead of that static feel.

Having already used this feature for some time, Adire is happy to announce that it is something that can be implemented in our customers websites. Just a small change can be refreshing, bringing a dated site into the present.

Get yourself Kinected…

Wednesday, January 12th, 2011

Well for the fist time ever the games industry is giving something back. Well not exactly but normally whatever the game industry does is taken from other industries first. Kinect however, is something new altogether, a direct interface with the console and its creators have announced a pc version of the technology for home cinemas and computers. It looks like it won’t be long until the web cam in your laptop is a kinect style motion sensor and the touch pad a thing of the past.

You know what? I wont miss the touch pad. Not even a little bit. I hate them so much I take a mouse everywhere and use that instead.

Well, I best go use the kinect cam for my X Box so I can practice for work in the future.

About the VAT

Tuesday, January 4th, 2011

We at Adire would like to apologise to our loyal customers about the VAT.

Though the saving made from the drop in VAT from 17.5% to 15% back in December 2008 was passed on to our customers unfortunately we cannot absorb the latest rise in VAT to 20% at this point in time.

We hope that you will understand our position and trust we will go that extra mile for you to make sure you feel the money well spent.
