We don’t post on this blog very often because we don’t believe in sending too much useless spam but I couldn’t help it this time. We were told about this Pattern Generator the other day and after playing with the site a little we decided to pass it on.
The original idea is to produce patterns that can be used as backgrounds for websites, twitter pages or Facebook etc but we also found the option to download the patterns to your computer. When you do this, you get a png image that you can do anything you like with.
To us this seemed like an ideal way to produce interesting backing paper. The patterns can be manipulated using some kind of art software (try Gimp for a free open source option), or you could just print them out as is.
Check out http://www.patterncooler.com and let us know what you think!

Stress Free Mail is a service site offering to set up a personal Domain and Email system for users.
Many services exist promising to do this for you. What people have told us though, is that most of these services actually expect you to do the setup. Not them!
Really, this is what puts people off. There is no human contact whilst trying to work with these automated systems and websites. We aim to change that.
Over the next few weeks, we will explain in more detail how this system works. However, in the meantime, have a look at the site and Contact Us if you have any questions.
If you like the idea of having your own domain name and a VERY personal Email address, talk to us. Our service is run by humans and we like communication. You will not be throwing money into the void and hoping that what comes back is actually what you wanted. We’ll make sure you get what you want from the start.
