Verde Coffee New Web Site
28/09/2007 by andrew.
Verde Coffee are pleased to announce their brand new web site just launched. As business progresses and we sell a greater range of products we have found you have to look continually to see if you are doing justice to your customers.
After a lot of searching we choose a fantastic program - ZEN CART. This is an open source product -ie free. I am a recent convert to this type of software - we were not adverse to paying but I think you get more from open source -an active community who are building on the existing framework all the time so you are not waiting for paid updates but can pick and choose what module to add when you want.
After trawling through a lot of comments -both negative and positive we came to the conclusion it was the best solution for us -I would say you need an in-house ‘expert’ or equivalent as the options and modifying can be complex -it is not a total out of the box solution but really that is part of is appeal -you can custom build.

How clever is your local council
17/09/2007 by andrew.
I would like to open a competition for the most stupid local council - I believe that Cardiff County Council has to be striding out front.
We have the most expensive car parks except London in the UK - standard is 70 per 1/4 hr- it was recently 70p hour.
We also have this wonderfull idea that if sport is being played in Cardiff all drinks - even non -alcoholic drinks have to be served in a plastic container -so a bottle tin of say coke or lemonade has to be decanted into some ridiculous plastic container - no supporting the environment and what a waste of time -remember we have / or had until recently the highest paid Chief Exec in the Uk -the man is provong his monies worth.
There’s always a place for such people in the ” ministry of silly walks “

Queen in concert in Brazil and Pavrotti
06/09/2007 by andrew.
I watched Freddie Mercury last night on channel 4 -much missed showman giving his all in Brazil - a recording from the recent past. A great singer and performer much missed by many - I walked up cromwell road soon after his passing past his house and read some of the very moving graffetti left by bereft fans.
Too wake up this morning to hear that Pavrotti had died is terrible news!
We all have a limited time in this ‘mortal coil’ but somehow these guys tend to fade away… [as the Stones once said!]
As a light opera fan I am sure many will agree that he will be sorely missed!

Slim whilst drinking coffee
03/09/2007 by andrew.
Whilst I am a coffee addict i think claiming that it will also keep you slim is taking the whole thing a bit too far - still you know what they say about fools and their money? See the rubbish here.
Perhaps i am too cynical?
