Windows 7

I can not believe that I have actually seen something this week about whether or not someone should upgrade from Windows Vista to 7. Really? Upgrade already.

I know it sucks to be constantly upgrading your stuff. It seems like we are always in a situation where we have to upgrade something. But you have to realize that there are typically benefits to staying up to date with everything. Software development companies do not spend a ton of time working on previous version. They only work on bug fixes and security issues. But if you want to get the latest and greatest stuff you have to be on the most recent version. Now don’t get me wrong. I am in no way proposing upgrading as soon as something comes out. I do not understand the people that wait in line at the stores to get the first version of anything. It is smarter to wait at least until the first service pack is released before jumping on board any of this stuff. Trust me your life will be much easier.

As for the fools that line up for the first version of stuff, well you can have that life I don’t want it. The first version is never the best version so just be patient, wait, and not only will you get a more tried and true version it will usually be cheaper.

Weekly Status

This week has been a big week. We have finished several projects that we have been working on.

Gotta Geta Party is a new website that we just finished up. This site provides the customer with the ability to set up their event and email the guests about that event. This site also takes it one step further. Event providers, caterers, videographers, photographers and any one else that provides services to the event planning community can sign up for free. When the customer creates their event they will see a list of the providers in their area that they can contact about the event.

Hopefully when setting up your major event this site will be the only resource you need in order to get everything organized and planned out.

The next major accomplishment is the release of a new weekly series on youtube called RANDOM WIKI WEDNESDAY. This is a fun youtube series put on by our head developer. He goes on wikipedia and clicks on the random article link and he presents that information for you in a video. The effects that we are learning are the key to this concept and we hope to be able to use this knowledge in other projects. Green screening, video production editing and so forth. The web with its interactive development is heading in the direction of being more video based. So the information you convey on your site not only needs to be textual but graphical and with these new skills Level 566 will be prepared to provide you with those services.
