To steep or not to steep, that is the question.

posted on Sunday 28th February, 2010 by neil

Many of us appreciate a good brew, and here at Bluebit we are all partial to a cuppa or two. One question however reverberated around the walls of our offices recently after I made a cup of tea for a client and the developers in the office:

"How long should you leave a cuppa for to brew?"

Of course there is no proper answer to this and there are also loads of other questions that then get fired off like: "Do you put the milk in first?", or "teabag or tea leaves?" which then defines whether you're using a teapot or otherwise.

If you're like me, you'll appreciate a brew thats not "forced" in other words the bag is not man handled against the side of the mug, giving up its flavour under duress. But how long to stand a teabag in a mug? Too long and you get a scum on the top and the cuppa gets cold and stewed. Too short and your cuppa tastes like hot water with milk (and sugar if you have it).

How do you like your tea? I'd be interested to hear and would welcome your feedback. Why not email howsyourtea (at) bluebit (dot) co (dot) uk your tips and suggestions. I'll be glad to share our findings.

conGuu CMS 1.11.0 launched and version 2.0.0 on its way

posted on Wednesday 17th February, 2010 by neil

conGuu CMS 1.11.0 is now live and we're rolling out the backups module to all our clients gradually. The backup module automatically backs up your entire account every night for up to 7 days, meaning you can roll back your site up to a week in the past.

In addition you can also make your own manual backups as well at any time you please allowing you to work on your website and have the knowledge that you can restore immediately in case you make a mistake and delete an important article.

Version 2.0.0 of conGuu is coming along nicely and we will be offering some of our clients the chance to trial this out in the next couple of months.

The original interface will still be accessible however as many of our users will prefer to use the existing form based editing style and in fact we will also build in a switch allowing each user to choose between the interface they prefer to use, whether that be the V1 interface or the V2 interface. Now how cool is that?!!?!

Happy Valentines day!

posted on Sunday 14th February, 2010 by neil

Grab a handful of red roses, a sprinking of Barry White - the Walrus of love, a specially crafted meal consisting of asparagus spears. Tuck the kids off to Grannys for the day and enjoy most of the day together.

Have a great Valentines day.

New professional photo gallery and photo diary application on the way...

posted on Saturday 13th February, 2010 by neil

After speaking to some amateur and professional photography firms and individuals, it's clear that there isn't a product out there that allows them to focus on what they do best - take photographs - and also have a professional, own branded website.

conGuu 1.11 update imminent

posted on Thursday 4th February, 2010 by neil

We're currently working on version 1.11 which will have a new backup module enabling you to carry out your own backups of your conGuu accounts. You'll also be able to schedule them and keep up to 7 days of rolling backups. This will give you more control and peace of mind in case you accidentally delete that important article or remove that useful PDF.

Of course, we'll always back up the conGuu engine in the unlikely event of a hardware failure too, so you're covered both ways. How cool is that!

Expect to see Version 1.11 in the next couple of weeks.
