Forced WLM Upgrade

I’ve just discovered that Windows Live Messenger is now forcing users to upgrade if they like it or not. I have been using 8.1 ever since it was released, as I’ve never liked the new version (it’s too ‘shiny’ and over the top). I’ve always found 8.1 to do the job nicely and easy to use, but now when I load it I am being forced to upgrade. Grrh.

Even if 8.1 is 3 years old, that’s not the point – I’m annoyed.

Alpha-Lite Productions

Alpha-Lite Productions

The main website has now been updated and revamped with the name of ‘Alpha-Lite Productions’. It is still not 100% complete but it is pretty much there now, just a few things to finish off and iron out (such as finishing the portfolio). If you do find any bugs or other errors, please contact me. This is a much more professional approach than I had previously; ensuring that all information is now easily accessible and easy to find.

Alpha-Lite Productions is ran solely by Jamie Oliver who offers freelance multimedia solutions including web design, graphic/publication design, still photography and moving image production.

Update: I have now updated my portfolio and tweaked the website to run smoother. I have also added some steps to reduce pesky spam messages being sent though my contact form.

Please spread the word and help Alpha-Lite Productions to flourish. Thanks.

Moving to Sub Domain

I am in the process of moving the blog to a sub domain, http://blog.alpha-lite.co.uk so when you click on links, they will point to that domain instead. At the moment a complete mirror of the blog is on both domains, and so things may not work 100% but will be sorted out shortly. I am doing this to make way for a new portfolio on the main domain, to allow my work to be easily accessed without any confusion. This will also be a more professional approach, whereas my blog is more of a casual approach.
