Our new offices at the e-Innovation Centre in Telford have super-fast wireless Internet for all tenants, but access is strictly controlled and can't be used by guests.
One of the consultants we work with came in for a meeting this morning and needed to hop onto the Internet but the mobile signal isn't great and he couldn't get a reliable connection.
The solution? Connectify! Connectify is free and will turn any Windows 7 PC into a WiFi hotspot for any number of people to securely connect to. It downloads and installs in just a couple of minutes and is free to use.
Highly recommended.

Second development office opens
We have proudly opened our second software development office, in Telford.
We are in the e-Innovation Centre. Access and facilities are superb as it is located on the University of Wolverhampton's Telford campus. Our new training facilities are particularly good.
Our new technical consultant Paul joined us yesterday, and our two new developers (Dan and Matt) will be starting on Monday.
The software development team is settling into its new home well and concentrating on getting productive as quickly as possible.

Start Software delivers presentation at Microsoft HQ
Last week I gave a presentation at Microsoft's UK HQ in Reading about Tracker and what has made it such a commercial and technical success.
The presentation was to the UK Access User Group, a vibrant and thriving organisation, supported by Microsoft themselves, of IT developers and software engineers.
RDS Asbestos begin their Tracker implementation
Specialist asbestos consultants RDS Asbestos (www.rdsasbestos.com) have started their Tracker implementation.
RDS are looking to increase their efficiency with the use of pocket PC data capture and immediate data transfer from the surveyor to head office and they should be live throughout their business by the summer.

Yellow Bike starts trading
We have designed and developed the IT systems running the operation including an interactive web site, admin database, FTP server, pocket PC maintenance system, SMS (text) engine... there is barely a software technology we haven't used!
Having just riden one of their bikes over Snowdon to Dublin for charity (see www.justgiving.com/theguinnessrun) I can vouch for the quality of the electric bicycles and I can certainly have confidence in the systems!
We wish them well with their new business.
