We want PHP/Drupal Developers

Posted in
by Mike

After another successful year in the land of Drupal we're pleased to be expanding the development team here at Ixis. We're on the look out for two developers to join us on-site in our Daresbury office in the UK. Your work will be based at our new office and travel to clients is not required.

We work in a relaxed and informal environment, where the ability to manage your time and work load independently is important. You'll often be involved in several projects at the same time, although you may be responsible for a website from start to finish depending on work load.

Windows 7 - is it any good?

Posted in
by Rob

I have been trialling the 32-bit Windows 7 Ultimate Edition release candidate and Beta for a few months now. I thought I would share my experience and thoughts so far.

The test machine is a Dell Dimension E521, AMD Athlon 64x2 Dual Core 2.2GHz CPU, 2Gb Ram and 250Gb Sata Hard Disk.

First impressions are that it looked liked Vista and I was gonna be in for a bumpy ride. However, I have been pleasantly surprised. The install was painless (although it did take its time) and so far I have no serious issues. It is certainly faster than Vista to boot up and over time has not slowed down like my Vista machine did.
