    More than Crazy intensive week

    The past 2 weeks have been heavy on all at HEXUS - we have been working on heaps of things, and most of us are doing crazy hours at the moment (I am doing roughly 7am until the late (sometimes early hours) of the night). Lucikly the hosting appears to be stable at the moment (kiss of death I bet!) and we have some plans with this too.

    I thought I would post and dispell rumours of this being an easy job - hell it is fun but my god intensive, Oh I wish The heat seems to be pretty tough conditions to work in, especially when I just want to be outside. It has for sure been pushing me to breaking levels.

    Rys and I recently went up to Scan to have a play with their Chameleon system, it was impressive to see this sort of solution being delivered to the UK market - bringing us up to competition level with the big boys in the USA.

    Rys has also written up a piece about what we "really" went to Canada to do with ATi, check that out over here

    I will be getting some statistics for you guys on emails and things which go on at HEXUS each day. With only 6 people fulltime it is impressive what we manage to do

    In the time off which I have craved I have managed to have a couple of BBQs, but finding the time seems to be tough at the moment.

    We have some exciting things coming soon with HEXUS, a lot of them are being discussed right now - and we will look to release them soon.

    We have also been playing around with a new page: Hint - Move your mouse over the images...

    New Page

    to replace this page:

    Old Page

    Let me know your thoughts

    Thought for the day: HEXUS is run around honour, integrity, and trust. I also think people could learn to apply this to life since this is about trust too - sometimes you trust people with too much, sometimes with too little. It is important to make sure you really know and trust people before opening up too much - since you never know where things end up. But it always gets back to the source.... and without the guts to tell it like it is (and directly) - it should not always be said?

    I like the new style, esp the text.

    But looks like a big gap on the left, between the pics and the sidebar. Maybe its just me

    New page is MUCH better, tbh I hardly ever use the old style page because it is too difficult finding exactly what you want in a massive drop-down list. BIG improvements. Nice.

    Sounds like the Hexus team is pulling out all the stops to keep the great content coming. Good work, I appriciate how much of a mammoth operation it must be to keep this site running smoothly. Thanks.

    Thanks for the feedback - we often have cool things we work on which we forget to tell you guys about hoping you will find them.

    We will make this page 'active' soon - just wanted to let you guys preview it.

    We are just raising the tempo and making sure more cool things happen.

    That means getting the whip out, going down to the basement and waking the code monkey up in an inhumane fashion iirc.

    that new way of doing the list is sweet - is there a way to quickly search all the reviews for a specific thing though? (Without having to click the graphics card graphic and then search?)

    That'll come a bit later on, when we roll out a new round of improvements. Trust us, being able to find site content easier is a paramount concern of ours. It's no good when the site staff that run the place use Google to search it, so we know better than most that we need a really great search function for the site. Coming soon hopefully!
    MOLLY AND POPPY!

    Can you make the search function like the Ctrl+F find function in FF? So it dynamically filters as you type... now that would be cool!
