idrive.com stealing RAM Memory

idrive.com screenshot showing monopolizing memory resources

idrive.com is a very low cost and effective entry level online backup solution. I have had quite a lot of success using it for straightforward backup situations.

One problem I have noticed that i cannot find documented is the application’s tendancy to steal memory resources, with a relatively modest backup set. The screenshot to the left illustrates this point and relates to a backup set of around 50 Gb. I’m wondering if anyone else out there is experiencing the same issue and if there is a simple solution?

Under attack B24 Liberator and Messerschmitt 109 by Brian Molloy

Brian Molloy is a military and aviation artist. We have been fortunate to help Brian make his work more widely accessible with a new minisite at www.brianmolloy.co.uk.

Brian has a particular interest in aviation and military uniforms and is based in North Wales and has exhibited widely both in the UK and overseas.

Brian has developed a brilliant attention to detail, and his commissions are much in demand. Together with Brians fine original works, a selection of his works are also available to purchase as signed prints.

The minisite was launched mid January 2010 and we are looking forward to updates on the effectiveness of the site and watching new pieces of art being displayed online.

DFG Precision Engineering - Subcontract Machining for Industry

December 11th, 2009 · No Comments

Dennis Ferranti Group have had great success with their brand - Fracmo - doing great in DC Motor related keywords in Google, so much so that they are in the process of branding every operation they do on their full production line into their own brand.

The first is DFG Precision Engineering, which brands their subcontract machining division into it’s own brand. They are capable for handling low/medium size CNC Milling & Turning projects as described on their CNC Milling page.

The Dennis Ferranti Group are experienced in recruiting business from web sites, and as such suggested that there is a Gallery, particularly useful for the precision engineering website, as a lot of the work done is made to print & custom, so are unusual. Having a subcontractor who can make similar widgets to the ones required is crucial to the ability of the contractor, so a varied gallery of similar widgets is vital for a company in this niche to succeed.

The hope is that by the end of the project, Dennis Ferranti would have 6 or 7 sites dedicated to each area of their business. The sites will each be profiled in full on this blog.

Balance Your Bobbies

November 10th, 2009 · No Comments

Livetech are proud to announce the launch today of a new website developed for North Wales Police and the North Wales Police Authority - Balance Your Bobbies.

This pioneering scheme will allow North Wales residents to have their say on how the local police force would allocate resources on a number of important issues, such as alcohol related problems, visible policing, drug crimes, dog fouling, vandalism & dangerous driving. The users are guided to their ward based on their postcode or location, and can offer anonymously opinions on where the police should target their resources. The results are updated ongoing on both a Ward & District level.

The users responses will then be taken into account at the various local levels when assigning policing priorities. The whole design is Welsh/English bilingual and designed to be as accessible as possible.

The site was programmed in HTML with the back end programming using Microsoft .NET technologies and features extensive use of XML feeds to pull in information from other sources. Graphical concepts were provided by Designbanc of Deganwy.

We’d love feedback on the site as site developers!
