That means that you’ll be able to finish that last minute assignment without worrying about reaching your usage allowance at 4am.

Ah Fridays, the end of the working week and the beginning of the weekend. I think Fridays must do something to your brain, there was something I was going to talk about in the pre-amble to the EoD but I’ve completely forgotten what it was. One of those thoughts that I often have on the way to work but never think to write down so when it comes to remembering it, it’s completely gone out of my head.

Plusnet pioneered the bundling of quality, free, value add services some years ago. One of the most popular services at that time was our advanced web hosting platform (known as CGI). However, development of the CGI Platform has been limited in recent times and we’ve been considering the future of the service for a while.
We’re now announcing plans for a major update to our advanced hosting products (including CGI and Frontpage), which will take place during the first half of 2009. This will see us offering access to a new platform (based on the one used by our sister brand PAYH). This news will impact all users of the current CGI service and details of a preview available now to all customers is available below.

Today saw the official launch of the world’s newest on-line music service, Spotify.

Described by some as “Bittorrent-meets-Last.fm”, or by Spotify themselves as:
An innovative digital music service offering music fans instant access to a world of music. Spotify enables on-demand streaming of audio content and aim to combat music piracy by offering a superior user experience, while monetising licensed content with both an ad-supported, free-to-the-user model and a premium, paid model. Spotify brings fans closer to the music and artists they love, and provides a marketplace for additional products such as live events, music downloads and more.
We reckon Spotify is pretty interesting eitherway. More…
