Site News

Welcome to our completely rebuilt, re-architected, just-off-the-assembly-line weekly newsletter. Yes, it looks very much like our old newsletter. In fact it should look exactly the same give or take a couple of missing links that we will add back very soon. What it does give us is a speedier and more automated delivery of your weekly and sets us up to make some useful changes to the way we deliver the news on what's been posted each week.
As a developer I'm guessing you live through this every day: you work your fingers to the bone (or the ink off your keyboards) to get a feature completed, tested, deployed and delivered. It's perfect. It's fast, efficient, saves time and resources, is rock-solid and, underneath, pure art. Except the end user sees no difference and wonders why the icons look the same.
Such is our life.
cheers,
Chris Maunder
