Voxego Design News and Distractions Feed

Not the first time

Okay. It's been quite awhile. Not really a big 'blogger' type though I should be. Once again we have been putting clients website and print design ahead of our own. But that's only to be expected.

The whole remote working dream has actually paid off big time. I no longer have to make tea and coffee for the rest of the team and they don't have to put up with my moaning about sales calls. Productivity is up but creativity remains intact thanks to the likes of Skype, Facetime, Dropbox and Safesync and so on. The cloud is now a viable option guys!

One day we will update the site with more current work but assume that what you see here now is circa 2010 and all the new work is 2 years even better that that - including CALA, Dawn and Levy and McRae (in the pipe) website rebuilds concluded.

Till 2013.
James

Gosh, it's been awhile...

No, we have not all been kidnapped by extra terrestrials. We are here and working very hard for all our beloved clients. We kinda forgot about both our website and our blog in the termoil of work. One day (in the next few months) we will return in vengance.

If you are bored with your site

Just had a blast laughing our heads off at some of the webs biggest sites - translated courtesy of www.pornaliz.com. Hilarious. Over 16s only!

I have a confession to make

James — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 13:30:04 +0000

Not long back from a great holiday in the sun with the family.

While away my wife 'consumed' all four of the Twilight books while bathing in the sun. I had them pegged as Mills and Boons with fangs and claws.

As you can imagine I heard alot about the story and characters. There were two other (female) fans staying next to us. You can imagine the chat.

However, when we got home I agreed to watch the first film with my wife.

My confession. I liked it. Couldn't wait to watch the second one the following night. Downloading the third at the moment... Sorry.

The decline of productivity: Social media and web content

James — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 13:54:00 +0000

I'm not going to knock social media or the vast amount of content that is floating around out there on the internet. They are both great for many reasons.

I'm just shocked that anyone can be productive anymore! Or am I the only one that occasionally finds something that gabs my attention then an hour later realise that I've been led down a long winding garden path littered with useless information and diversions?

It stands to reason why employers are taking steps to curb web use in the office. Why shouldn't they. It's akin to your staff staring out the window for hours.

That aside, I do think you should check out this site. See you in a couple of hours (or days)...

Things, they are a changing

James — Fri, 14 May 2010 08:20:40 +0000

As many of you will know by now Voxego have taken the step to change the way we operate. No longer do we have a centralised office in Glasgow but are remote working from our respective offices and homes.

Technology and the nature of the majority of our work have made this a realistic option. Two months in to the change and this premise appears to have been well proven to be the case.

More to follow in the future with details on how it can be done or things we have done to make it work even better.

Christmas already!!!

Normally we are organised enough to have produced a snazzy, jazzy, funky electronic animated Chrsitmas greeting message that we send out to all those that we like. This year however we have far too busy for such. Afterall, clients always come first.

So, to all those that have been staring cross-eyed at their inbox waiting for this years greeting - get over it! It isn't coming.

Have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year. Looking forward to all that 2010 brings.

Just in case you missed this Vader classic

I've known for years that the big man in black isn't as tough as his reputation.

Clever dance stuff

James — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 17:00:00 +0000

It may not make you laugh out loud but this will certainly bring a smile to your face. Very clever.

I know a song...

James — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 16:36:00 +0000

Even before Chocolate Rain there was this song. Be warned, even just reading the first couple of lines will engrain the tune in your head for the entire day. Apologies in advance for doing this...

i know a song that will get on your nerves,
get on your nerves,
get on your nerves;
i know a song that will get on your nerves,
get, get, get on your nerves.
