Local businesses watch out…

February 1st, 2010 · Ric · 1 Comment

For some reason it seems that 80%* of Guernsey businesses seem to be stuck using Internet Explorer 6 despite it being named number eight in the worst 25 tech products ever made, being in part responsible for the recent Chinese attacks on Google, being wildly out of date and incompatible with the latest web techonologies and a whole host of other Internet sins. Even the German and French governments are advising people to stop using it.

Do you send fewer Christmas cards?

December 9th, 2009 · Ric · No Comments

Do you send as many Christmas cards as you used to? I know I don’t, in fact I’ve not sent any this this year. The only people who’ll be receiving them are my family on Christmas day. Does this mean I’m not a thoughtful person, or just lazy? Or is it because cards these days are expensive and unoriginal, add to that the price of the stamp, the probability of a postal strike, free e-cards and environmental concerns and it’s easy to see why some people don’t send so many. Do you think it’s a dying tradition, or an important part of Christmas where you show your friends how important they are to you?

Leave your comments below, we’d love to hear views from people who send lots of cards, those who send none, and everyone in between. As a special treat you can even build and send your own e-card.
