Why did my Skype go down?

Posted on Thu 23 Dec 2010

---

Because Skype uses supernodes , which... Wait, superwhat now? Supernodes. When you connect to Skype, you're actually connecting to a supernode. Any Skype data passes through supernodes to get to the right place   So it's peer to peer then? Exactly. It works in a similar way to Bittorrent  ... Read More

I had a brilliant time again last night.  For the first time in probably three years I managed to attend a Latin and Ballroom class with my dance teacher Heather Clavering.  It was Heather who managed to coax and cajole me into several dance routines and performances at her various shows (not that I made it that hard) but took a...

Digital Entrepreneur Employer of the Year 2010

Posted on Thu 02 Dec 2010

What a brilliant evening it was in the end. Although we only had a relatively short journey to get to the Palace Hotel, we were travelling against a forecast of heavy snow and some people were warning me that we might not get back home!  Luckily I love driving in the snow and wild horses were not going to stop me from getting to the...

Digital Entrepreneur Awards 2010 - Finalist

Posted on Mon 29 Nov 2010

---

I find it interesting how things come about.  I have always tended to sit back and let things happen rather than to be involved in the happening. The Digital Entrepreneur Awards though are something that has worked out a bit differently.  Normally I would sit back and let things pass me by.  But in this case I decided to... Read More

Is video on your website worth the effort?

Posted on Tue 28 Sep 2010

---

The answer is most resoundingly - YES IT IS! Earlier this year I worked with students from Chester University to create a series of Videos to explain what my company does and to demonstrate who our products work.  The effort was well worth while.  The pages that we placed our video on were on the front page of Google within...

Linux Email Set up and run a small office email server

---

Way back in 2005 I was involved with running email systems directly and was part of the team of professionals who put together this book.  A revised edition was published in November 2009 but I was not as involved with this edition as I am now more managerial than hands on. It was an interesting task working with the publishers... Read More

Adepteo Home Page in April 2004

Posted on Sun 04 Apr 2004

I was particularly proud of the Animated gears in our logo at this time.  This was the second version of the banner and the movement was much smoother and hypnotic. The full front page looked like this and as you can see we were still focusing on providing E-Commerce and similar solutions. Read More

I founded Adepteo to develop Content Managed Websites

Posted on Thu 18 Oct 2001

18th October 2001 saw the first registration of my adepteo.co.uk domain name.  I was looking for a name that had some meaning, began with an A to be at the front of alphabetic listings and was available as a domain name.  The last part was a lot easier in 2001 than it is now, but it was still difficult then. I latched onto... Read More

Houses 4 Sale way ahead of its time

Posted on Mon 10 Mar 1997

I had an idea that I wanted to pursue.  It had all come about because we were looking to move house and I thought that it would be good to be able to advertise your house on the Internet.  A pretty radical thing in 1997. Unfortunately I neither the resources or the time available to me with a young family and a demanding... Read More
