New Mail Server – Up & Running…

Our new mailserver is now up and running. We’ve moved from MailEnable to Smartermail as we’re finding it a much better interface to use and manage, even though it is a little more expensive to have.
We also have new sync features for Outlook and mobile devices as well as great new calendar and task functionality.
Some new features:
We will be moving everyone across (after being notified) to the new server a few at a time to minimise disruption.
Let us know what your thoughts by clicking on the heading of this article and dropping us a comment!

Goodbye M.J. – The King Is Dead…
Michael Jackson is gone to heaven. A very, very sad day for music.
He was a genius, a musician and a great father and husband.
A man who will never be forgotten, as his talent and music will live long after our children’s children have grown up.
We miss you already bro, but we’ll keep listening and remembering the times you where on this earth to thrill us all.
Twitters that express our feelings right now:
John Mayer (johncmayer):
Dazed in the studio. A major strand of our cultural DNA has left us. RIP MJ.
Rob Thomas (ThisIsRobThomas):
Official. Michael jackson dies at 50. Speechless.
Sean “P. Diddy” Combs (iamdiddy):
Michael Jackson showed me that you can actually see the beat. He made the music come to life!! He made me believe in magic. I will miss him!
Hanson (hansonmusic):
It is difficult to think of a more impact full loss from the passing of an icon, than that of Michael Jackson.

ExtJS.tv Version 2.0
The ExtJS community has really embraced this site and now it’s time to ramp the site up a little.
The primary reasons for this are:
- The site currently uses jQuery, which is not really a great advertisement of for ExtJS
- The functionality of the site is somewhat hampered by the fact that we’re using a generic template.
So we’re rebuilding the whole site to deliver content in a much better way…
Stay tuned.

SU Team Management Portal
Tommorrow we’re off to a SU advanced leaders training for the first teaser of the new team management portal.
The official training session will be later in the year, however this presentation is to show a few of the great features coming together.
We’re hoping the session will not only be informative, but also a catalyst for great ideas to emerge and new gadgets and features to be added.

A New Website
Well here it is… another verison of our website. I think we’ve had about eight redesigns over the years, so here’s something completely different!

ExtJS.tv Almost RTL
We love ExtJS and so we’ve created a website to bring together all the screencasts and video content from around the place into one site.
The site is built using WordPress just for ease of use. I see that this site may eventually see itself returned to the DiiMES platform to give a lot more functionality and allow uses to add their own content, however for now, WordPress is a good start.
