Spoonflower – custom fabric printing
October 21, 2008
Print your own custom designs on fabric for quilts, clothes, pillows, blankets, and more! If you are a creative soul, then Spoonflower custom fabric printing is for you. The concept is simple and not unlike other POD sites.
Simply upload your file, add to cart, and watch for it in your mailbox. Ok, well it is and it isn’t that simple. Spoonflower has painstakingly developed their website to be user friendly – which is very impressive. The most complicated aspect of creating a viable fabric is making sure your file is ready to be tiled so it appears seamless on the fabric when printed. If you are familiar with Adobe Photoshop, there are several plugins that can be used to make your life easier. And, Spoonflower’s blog contains information on how to prepare your files for printing.
The upside: unlike many other digital textile printing companies, you don’t have to order 1,000s of yards to have custom fabric printed. Spoonflower lets you order as little as an 8 in x 8 in swatch. The current max order is 3 yards, but that should change when the site is out of beta.
Having had several designs printed, we can say that the color is extraordinary and that we are all very pleased with the service.

Data Backup
October 20, 2008
Protect Your Most Valuable Asset… Your Data!
7 out of 10 small firms go out of business within a year if they experience a major data loss – Information Security Breaches Survey, DTI/PriceWaterhouse Coopers, 2004.
Without adequate data protection, your business can become another unfortunate statistic.
I would like to introduce you to a valuable new service we are now offering to all our preferred clients: Remote Data Backups (RDB).
RDB is the most cost effective, secure, and convenient way to automatically back up your data offsite every night. Your files are transmitted and stored using 128-bit AES Encryption and SSL technology at their two state-of-the-art mirrored data centers, so it is extremely secure from any unwanted access.
Your data is reliably protected offsite from fire, flood, theft or sabotage, in addition to common technical disasters such as hard drive crashes, viruses, data corruption, hackers and even human error (deleting files). It is a much more cost effective and reliable backup solution than manually using tape, Zip, Jazz, CDRW, DVD or external drives.
We have researched backup solutions extensively and can confidently say we’ve partnered with the industry leader. They protect data for over 150 franchise organizations and have tons of client testimonials praising their service.
The software is easy to set up and use, and loaded with valuable functions designed to save you time and money, such as: Easy System Restore, Remote File Access, 10-File Versioning and Extended Archiving.
What would you do if you suddenly lost your data? How much would it cost to recover? Would your business survive?
We now provide the most cost effective, reliable, secure and convenient way to automatically back up your mission critical data offsite every night.
Enjoy peace of mind knowing that if the unexpected happens (systems crash, virus, data corruption, fire, flood, theft, sabotage, human error, etc.) your data is safe and secure offsite at our two mirrored data centers and easily accessible to you with just a few clicks, 24/7.
