Computer Networks

If you are thinking of networking some computers to share files, printer(s) and/or an internet connection then we can help you.
We concentrate on small to medium sized networks. From a couple to about 50 networked computers.
We are happy to have a chat about your particular situation & requirements and what some of the options are that you may choose from. Generally speaking there are many ways to address the task of networking; covering network infrastructure, servers, operating systems, applications, availability, monitoring, security, backups etc...
Contact us for ideas on what may be done with your new, or existing network.

For small organisations who have an environment/ecological focus we are happy to let you have a spot on the World Wide Web for very little cost.
This would be done through the auspices of The Ecological Group (http://www.ecologicalgroup.net/) and your group would have a web address like this: http://www.yourgroup.ecologicalgroup.net/
We are also happy to provide some e-mail service for your group and give you a hand with web design if you want.
Go to The Ecological Group web site, follow the 'contact us' link and let us know a bit about you, your group, what you are planning to do and how we can assist you.

Social / Societal

We are a little undecided on the format for this area.
It is intended to be thought provoking and oriented towards people, as opposed to corporations/institutions/governments.
Some may find it educational, some my wish to respond to the items & links in this area, others may 'just not get it'.
Our point is that we are all individuals and our response is our own.
We do hope that there is something here that will be of interest.

Reviews

This area is for reviews of, amongst other things; books, restaurants wine, spirits, food, shops, web services, vehicles and anything else that we find of interest.
