Need to update your website?

19/02/2007

As of April 1, you need to state the following details on your website:

  1. The name of the company and the company’s legal form;
  2. the place of registration of the company, the number with which it is registered and the address of its registered office;
  3. in the case of a company exempt from the obligation to use the word “limited” or “teoranta” as part of its name, the fact that it is a limited company;
  4. in the case of a company which is being wound up, the fact that it is being wound up; and that:
  5. if there is reference to the share capital of the company on any letters or order forms, the reference shall be to the paid-up share capital.

You may need to state this information in your emails too, but as is typical with Irish legislation, I’m not entirely sure if that’s the case. The ODCE doesn’t seem to either, or surely they would have been clearer than “company letters and order forms” in their information notice?

It’s definitely a good idea to require companies to put this information on their websites, but ffs ODCE, piss or get off the pot: what, if any, emails does this info need to go into?

Inkless printers

17/02/2007

Still on the subject of printers, here’s another one I came across, that uses a thermal process on pre-dyed “zink” paper to print without cartridges or cassetted. I’m not much of a TCO nerd so I haven’t looked into whether it’d actually save money, but it’s a clever idea nonetheless.

Recommend a Dell rep?

15/02/2007

Can anyone out there recommend a small business Dell rep that won’t piss me off by basically not giving a flying fuck at the moon about their customers?

I need to buy a server asap and thus far I’ve been lobbed from one rep to another, and treated with the kind of attitude I expect from an Eircom biddy, not a customer that’s likely to bring in quite a lot of server business in the next few years. At the moment it’s low margin business, but surely that’s their problem for selling low margin, not mine?

Failing that, can anyone recommend a supplier for low-end 1U rack-mounted servers in Ireland? By low-end I mean less than a grand fully-configured. So far I only have dabs4work, and I’m not mad about the idea of buying something relatively important to the network outside the country. Encom is too expensive.

Exxon: ‘Climate getting warmer’

15/02/2007

Star-Telegram: Exxon Mobil Chairman Rex Tillerson told a world energy conference today that “there is no question that the world’s climate is getting warmer,” and said that technological advances and a global strategy will be needed to combat the rise in carbon emissions.

“It is foolish for individual countries to engage in their own actions because it won’t do much more than make them feel good,” Tillerson said. “It is particularly important for the emerging economies of the Pacific Rim, where the biggest increases in carbon emissions will occur, to take part in the discussions.”

Tillerson’s remarks, to the annual Cambridge Energy Research Associates conference, marked a continuation of Exxon Mobil’s growing strategy to make itself part of the global climate debate rather than denying that the problem exists. More than 2,000 people from 44 countries are attending the CERA conference.

Legend!

11/02/2007

Ok, it’s the Daily Mail, but still. :)

The Daily Mail: A man who was fed up with paying massive bank charges decided to give one of the high street giants a taste of its own medicine.

When Royal Bank of Scotland refused to refund £3,400 charges that Declan Purcell believed he was owed, he sent in the bailiffs.

Stunned customers at his branch of RBS watched as debt collectors seized four computers, two fax machines and a till filled with cash.

The branch manager was told that the items would be sold unless RBS came up with the money owed to Mr Purcell.

Only when the manager gave an undertaking that the debt would be paid did the bailiffs leave.

Kodak starting a price war?

07/02/2007

Inkjet printers aren’t the most exciting of things to post about, but Kodak’s upcoming foray into the multi-function market could stir things up a bit, with innovative cartridge designs and prices that should give the likes of HP a bit of a fright. I’ll be popping a note in my calendar to check out reviews of these babies in early April. Press release here, market backgrounder here.
