Hosting going fast.

ComputerRich — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 21:30:48 +0000

We are extremely pleased and thankful for our current hosting subscribers to our packages! After performing cleanup and maintenance on our last server we are pleased to announce that only 22 more slices can be purchased. How are slices calculated? Simple look at the comparison below.

Bronze= 1 Slice
Silver= 2 Slices
Gold= 4 Slices

Once no more slices can be purchased using that formula we will be out of hosting space. Please understand once they are gone they are gone. We do have 10 backup slices per server that are only for sale to our current customers in case they do need to upgrade, but keep in mind there is a limit. All hosting subscribers have already received an email.

If you would like to purchase hosting, or have a question (s) please contact us!

A Junie Update

ComputerRich — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 21:27:46 +0000

Well as one might have expected the 343net site has been completed. However, what you may have not known is that the site has been completed over 2 weeks now. So one might think I am looking for work. If you are thinking that you are really wrong. I am 40% done with a project for a Village town site, which I have been working on for 1 week today. The site is coming together nicely. I didn’t really have to many ideas for the site in the beginning, however as time has progressed I have been using a lot of CSS image rollovers to keep the site loading as fast as possible and to make sure the person behind the site who will be updating it will have an easier time with it.

I am also working on a side project for Dawn of Light’s Storm server, which is intended to boost the current layout with the theme of the server. This mini-site is looking pretty good.

Current Project 343net

ComputerRich — Wed, 28 May 2008 21:26:49 +0000

Currently, I am working on a project which has stemmed more from a school project. Just to give you the basics during school my mate and I created a website using very simple and efficient code. We even used flash that is using images pulled from a folder on the server. The result of our efforts achieved our goal of a fast ultralight website which is nimble and is very flexible. We have sold a template of the site to a company just this past week. This help purchase some new equipment for design purposes. We still have the rights to how we made it so, we ended up devoting out time to making it a bit more classy. We have now devoted some of our time to the Mod and Level design team of 343net. So far the site is looking marvelous. It is scheduled to be completed by end of June 08.

The site uses:
HTML, CSS, Flash, JavaScript
