New website almost ready

Posted by: LizzieBG in Computers on

Ali & I have spent the last four days working on this website, and the sister site, Chateau Mal au Dos . We've tested it on Safari, Camino, Firefox and Internet Explorer, although not extensively. If you come across anything that doesn't work, or seems illogical we'd be very grateful if you could let us know.

Meanwhile, here's Ali looking boggy-eyed in her office while we're discussing the new site.

 

 

 


Old, plump & nerdy

Yep, that's me. But these aren't words you can use against my luscious new Mac laptop and the all new and shiny Mac Leopard operating system. Before I was  a B&B landlady in the south of France I had a computer company in England which built PCs for businesses and installed networks. We were very good at it, but it was tricky and stressful. I suppose, if one is going to fix computers you may as well choose the ones that go wrong, i.e. anything Microsoft. 

All that work that we used to struggle with is a complete snap with Leopard. Seconds after I had upgraded my Mac to luscious Leopard it had not only connected me to the Internet, it had also found our other two Macs and two PCs and logged me onto each of them. Automatically. I just noticed they were available. Not that long ago it would have taken half a day battling with settings and software to network PCs and Macs. 

 I just love the fact that Leopard knocks spots off Vista. Never again will I build or buy a PC. Hooray. I'm free!! I can get down to being a real B&B landlady.

So today I have my niece and her pal Etienne here lugging new sunbeds up the garden ready for next summer.
