Happy 10th Birthday To Really Effective

29th August 2008
It is quite unbelievable that TICK was released to the public 28 August 1998 and Sound Control on 11 July 1999 and both applications are still going strong. Since their first release there have been over a hundred thousand downloads of both applications and they have been featured in newspapers, magazines and some of the most popular software news sites.  A big thank you to all our users for supporting the applications.

We Are Back And With A New Site Design

5th July 2008

I am not totally discounting future versions but I currently do not have the energy, time, willpower or interest to [...]

This then involved me updating the domains so they resolved to the new server which causes a couple of days of the server appearing to alternate between up and down whilst these changes were propagated. The problems over the past several days have been caused by [...]
