Microsoft Search Comeback?
Whilst looking at the stats for www.cleartext.net I noticed that we got more links from Windows Live than Google so far this year! Is Google slipping, or is Microsoft getting a handle on search, or is it all to do … Continue reading

It’s all about the support
Support is our driving force at Cleartext, if customers are happy they spend more and give you a bit of leeway when things go off the rails. It’s for this reason I’m recommending JoomlaPlates as a Joomla template provider. During … Continue reading

What no CTO?
I just noticed that one of our competitors is missing a CTO, the previous candidate lasting around 9 months. Of course I shouldn’t complain about a competitor being rudder-less, after all a technology company without good direction means more business … Continue reading
Hosted archiving
I used to wonder why companies would want to archive their email externally, given they’d almost certainly be charged a premium. That is until I got a call from a client needing help ‘fixing’ a tape archive that wasn’t restoring. … Continue reading
Hybrid Hosting
My previous post has prompted me to drop this post in from the new Cleartext Systems web site, which isn’t live yet. (will be by the end of the week). We’ve (Cleartext via Cool Bananas) been a NetRegistry reseller for … Continue reading
OECD Broadband Portal
Whilst looking for stats on broadband I went to the OECD Broadband Portal and spent an hour getting depressed by reading the various reports, snippets like this aren’t good reading if you live in Australia!; Prevalence of explicit bit/data caps … Continue reading
Creating Clearspace plugins
Clearspace is an excellent example of a product that makes something more by combining some parts. I bet many of us have thought about how best to use technolgies like blogs, wiki’s and forums. Well think no more and just … Continue reading

Joomla 1.5 ‘feature’

PDFAssassin
No doubt kicked off when PDF spam started arriving in out inboxes PDFAssassin attempts to scan PDF files for ‘spammyness’ and adds the Spam Assissin score; http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfassassin/
x-authentication-warning
Had an issue today with spam filters blocking legit emails and it turns out that it was because the sender was spoofing the ‘from’ address. I suspect this is common when web based apps get http servers like Apache to … Continue reading

DSPAM
I’ve been doing my bi-annual review of the anti-spam and anti-virus market place and completely missed DSPAM until Mike from Tall Emu (the Online-Armor people) sent me the link. After a couple of hours research and spotting that local firm … Continue reading
Netscape browser dies…
I remember when Netscape started up in 1994, I’d just moved to the USA to help setup Dr Solomon’s the anti-virus company. I remember Mosaic that preceded it and I now use Firefox and Safari. It seems a shame that … Continue reading
