Gmail Tip: How To Stop Checking Email All The Time

I just wanted to quickly share a good GMail setup I am trialling to help me stop checking email all the time which can be very counter productive (this is a follow up to my Blog asking what the best email client is for GTD which I have come to the conclusion does not exist!). This little tip could be used for any email client which instantly checks and notifies you of new email. Windows clients like Outlook should have a control to stop checking email so you wont need this.

Speed Up Your Website By Using Cache

I recently finished a database intensive website using the Joomla content management system, and upon release the website popularity and therefore high database queries put quite a strain on the site which slowed it down more than usual. I try to develop websites to load as fast as possible, and with Google's new "caffeine" release taking website speed into account it is all the more important. In a situation like this one solution is to use website caching. Any database driven website (e.g. content managed), large or small, will benefit from using caching.

New Website Released for Amity Web Solutions

We've released a new website today to replace what we considered an old and outdated design. Our old site was not actually that old, nearly 2 years, but in web years that must be getting on quite a bit! Having a new website every year or two, or at least a major revamp, is always a good idea to ensure your business on the web keeps up with the times and utilises the latest technology, search engine recommendations and user experience and expectation changes.
