The birth of FirmSites
Wednesday, 07 July 2010 00:00
Today ORB-CMS is finished and in its place FirmSites.co.uk takes over as my primary business interest. Why the change you may ask? Well it's more than just a new name.Orb was my trial of weather or not I could build a business around rapid deployment of a CMS with custom design on a rental basis. People would pay £250 per year for the basic model then extra for additional functions such as forums, galleries or forms. What this proved was that the concept was fantastic and the response very positive. Where the concept fell down was the pricing and add-ons model which was overly complicated.

Well after months of hard work the new BeadersOnline.co.uk site has launched. Designed to be an online home for beaders of all diffrent styles and techniques it uses the latest and greatest communtiy tools from FirmSites and provides a great test bed for future development.
The site is totally open and anyone interested in writing articles or with ideas to improve it so please go there and sign up! It sports a community forum, photo sharing and user profiles. To make it a useful resource there is also a free directory of bead shops, suppliers and designers. Much more is planned as the site grows.
Gimp 2.7
Tuesday, 15 September 2009 00:00
What the hell is going on with GIMP lately, every time I 'upgrade' things get WORSE.Save/export is such a stupid idea, why are you guys wasting time on things like this? Seriously, I have used gimp for years, I have managed to get many people to use it over that time but I am going to stop singing its praises because I don't know if its going to be usable in the coming years.
Save/Export makes everything so much slower!!!! What was wrong with having everything in save, what benefit does this give us???? I am simply amazed at how mad this 'feature' is, and there seems to be no way of turning it off.
