Tyres2u.co.uk based in Yeovil - brilliant! E-mail
Friday, 05 June 2009 12:38

This is a bit unusual but I've recently used this company to get tyres for my car and really had a great service, so thought I'd mention them. Set up by Paul Furlong, they come to your home/office and replace the tyres at your convenience. The prices are very good, I couldn't find better on the net and the knowledge and friendly manner makes this chore a whole lot easier. Give them a try:

I'd recommend you call and explain what you're after and get his advice on what suits your car or motorbike.

 

 
Outlook 2GB space limit E-mail
Wednesday, 03 June 2009 16:36

I've had to help someone recently who hit a hard limit in Outlook that then prevented them opening their mailbox. The fix was nasty and involved losing a chunk of mail but it is the only way to get any of it back. Here's the key stuff to know:

If you are running any version of Outlook before Outlook 2003 you are vulnerable to this.

Once you hit 2GB mailbox (strictly, the outlook.pst file that stores all your mail) then you'll be in big trouble.

Running a later version is safer but still has limits on the size the file can grow to, however it will warn you and not lock you out of your mail.

This doesn't apply if you're using Exchange for your mail, unless you download from it using POP3.

 

Best way to avoid this? Learn what the delete key does and start using it...

 
Network Camera Install E-mail
Wednesday, 04 March 2009 20:30

I've recently installed a Panasonic outdoor camera for a customer, and am pleased with the result. The camera has motion controls, supports timed photos and allows automatic uploads to web and ftp site, allowing interest websites to be created and ultimately to provide time-lapse movies of whatever the camera sees, in this instance a new building going up. If you're interested in seeing the end result, have a look at the website: Hendford Care Home Hendford Care Home
 
Before buying technology - ask us first! E-mail
Tuesday, 03 March 2009 16:35
Several customers have recently bought new equipment without consulting with me first - the cheek Laughing. OK, I understand that on very rare occasions you may decide to go elsewhere for your purchases but please, just a quick phone call to me first to discuss it may save you a lot of pain/expense in the future. Two situations come to mind, both involving photocopiers. One customer needed to print to their copier but only after buying it discovered that the USB only connection on it doesn't work over long distances, and alternative ways to work round this are costly/clunky. The other purchased a copier in difficult financial circumstances (new start up) but I'm convinced I could have got them a better deal if they had asked me first and would have sourced it through using a local company.
 
Now offering quality fast webhosting E-mail
Friday, 23 January 2009 08:50

One of my common customer queries is to help manage their website, perhaps making some minor changes or a total rewrite. Often this results in difficulties knowing where the website files actually are, where the domain name (e.g. compology.com) is registered and other issues surrounding having a website and managing your internal email. To this end we now offer a full service aimed at existing and new customers to provide:

  • Fair pricing for high quality service - this is not a no-frills, low cost service with no-frills low quality service to match!
  • We will help move your existing website to our hosting service as part of your standard hosting fees
  • We provide unlimited POP3 mailboxes and MySQL databases within your account, you are only limited by the total space it all occupies and the volume of traffic that goes though it each month
The website will have a new section devoted to our hosting offering soon, but if you're interested now please do get in touch, new accounts can be setup the same day.
