As a new user to the Mac I find it irritating not being able to make a 1:1 copy of a legitimately purchased audio cd without having to pay for a bit of software to do it for me.
Thankfully I came across this little gem which allows you to copy cd’s / dvd’s the way you want to, for free – http://simplyburns.berlios.de/
We’d just thought we’d drop a blog post congratulating Jon Webb on becoming an accredited PRINCE2 Practitioner.
Some say project management is like herding cats, it’s good to know, we love cats.

Firefly Creative needed to refresh the existing “news” section on their website, making it more dynamic allowing them to add pictures, photo’s and to enhance the way in which the publish their press releases.
We gave them a helping hand by installing a fully customised Blog in place of their existing news section and helped them transfer their existing news and press releases across to the new system.
Firefly are now able to enjoy feature rich blogging through the installation and total branding of our Wordpress Content Management Services

food for thought, Mishaps
It is amazing how many online services such as confused.com still do not enforce adequate password policies, I was amazed to see that when I came to finally using confused.com and entering my user profile details that I was not allowed to have a password which included special characters such as ^,&,or *, and I was not allowed to use any numbers.
Why is this a “bad thing”TM ? Generally people use straight forward words such as “worthing”, “scrabble” or “letmein” (you get the idea).
All these sorts of words are not just easily guessable, but many freely available password guessing tools can guess these combinations in seconds.

Confused.com Password Strength Analysis
A point in case – we recently performed technical due-diligence on an existing web application and found that all the customer passwords were held unencrypted, along with the customers email addresses. Just think how much damage could be done if somebody with your email address and password could do by accessing services like your online car insurance, internet banking and other online services.
Food for thought.
