A number of our customers work in the golf industry. Our work for them ranges from simple support work to professional quality hosting and domain name management.
Roundtrip Solutions recently became aware of a number of green keepers who were building a website to support their peers and the general golfing industry. Since we firmly believe in community initiatives of this ilk we will be sponsoring BIGGA Central Section with free hosting, domain name registration, and assistance and advice on continuous improvement of their site.
Please give them a visit if you work within the golfing industry or have an interest in seeing their ongoing work to improve the green keepers lot.
Good luck and best wishes go to them from everyone at Roundtrip Solutions.
It has been decided that it was about time for a new look ‘n’ feel for the Roundtrip Solutions Blog. We hope you like it.
There are a few tweaks required to fix some issues caused by the upgrade to V2 of Wordpress. Hopefully, readers won’t even observe any problems while we make those fixes.
While driving to Auctermuchty last week we came across this scene at the side of a country back road.
This is a disgraceful abuse of our natural environment, especially so when the local waste refusal centre is only a few miles away. The person(s) who did this should hang their head in shame and disgrace!
A new resource from Microsoft aims to show how Information Technology is being used to change people’s lifes. The website focusses on delivering content through videocasts in the form of a TV show.
Their first show is very powerful viewing. It shows how IT was used to change the delivery of disaster relief during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
Yesterday (31st March 2006) saw the formation of a completely new multi-disciplinary engineering institution: The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), which has been formed by the getting together of the Institute of Electrical Engineers and the Institute of Incorporated Engineers. It is worth reiterating this is not a merger, but is the formation of a completely new institution, with all the possibilities that brings for improvements in member services. Over the coming months we’ll keep you updated on the local (South - East of Scotland), regional (Scotland), national (UK) and international ramifications and developments.
The IET website has just been launched for the benefit of members and the general public alike. One of the best resources we’ve discovered so far is IET.TV. The use of modern podcasting technologies is an extremely important innovative for the professional institutions. The joint BCS - IEE Turing Lecture of 2006 is a must see for anyone interested in accessibility and disability.
All technicians and engineers should checkout this new institutions and evaluate if it is worth joining. Remember that you get tax relief on subscriptions, so it doesn’t cost as much as you think!
