I almost suffered a cardiac arrest last week, snippets of my life flashed before me – I saw images and visions that I never knew I still retained. Yes the drink, the smokes and general bad lifestyle could have been the blame, but fortunately it was something much bigger – something that we’re all familiar with…. Our beloved relationship with Microsoft!
The pain I experienced when I received the error – ‘Sorry you’ve just lost 3 years worth of emails’ was indescribable…. I’m not going to harp on about MS as I eventually sorted it out and got back the 3 years I thought I had lost…..
What’s the point to this ramble I hear you ask ??? Backup, kiddies. Because if it wasn’t for our backup procedures and practices, I’d be screwed and looking over the edge of a very big cliff…
Now that I’ve given my HOT tip for the month, on to what’s been going on in Gruden in the last month….. Well, obviously I didn’t win Powerball, my SARS paranoia appears to have subsided and Supagas is still being worked on! Yes – it’s all been happening here! Very exciting stuff!
Pharmaxis have recently had Stage 1 of their website launched, still much more to go on that site yet. Kemp Strang are in the final stages and Home Partners is a few days off launch as well. The Home Partners website is being developed in conjunction with our partners at the Haygarth Group – where they are carring out the design and we’re doing the backend.
The Collex website is about to go live with the newly revised content and hot on it’s heels is the site redesign, so make sure you keep an eye out for that one!! – Finally – All those years of pain looking at that site… – no one else to blame though!
ARIA and Gruden are to join forces again for this years ARIA Awards. Last year we developed the Voting website for the awards which had some fantastic reviews, and this year we’re adding to the system, automating and streamlining the tools and processes to make it a fully contained voting system for the following years!
The ARIA homepage is being redeveloped at present, and should look pretty spiffy once completed! The creative juices have been allowed to flow on this puppy and I’m pretty sure you’ll be juicing too once you see it!! OOOhhhhh – tackless humour… Fantastic…
The Smartbuy (DPWS) Supplier Registration Toolkit is being touched up and redeveloped, also a CDROM for the Office of Information Technology has seen our government work continue this month – Hopefully with a heap more to follow!
Anyway – There’s loads of exciting things going on at the moment, but again it’s something that I can’t pass on yet. I know, pretty frustrating hey? But what can you do… The new tax year should be the time where I can share all, so make sure you check back to hear about it all – that’s if you don’t read about it elsewhere!
Ohhh – I almost forgot, our new Email & Newsletter Management System is in the final stages of testing and will be ready & available to all next month. Deliverance is it’s name and boy – it’s one powerfully sexy beast….!!
Well peoples, my apologies for the slight delay in getting this months G-Spot up, I’ll try not to let it happen again,. but it’s looking a little crazy over the next few months so please bear with me!
Till next time!
