Staff Changes
In
our last issue I mentioned that we had taken on a new member of
staff - Carol. Unfortunately, due to personal reasons, she is
no longer with our "tubing team" .. and we would like
to thank her for her efforts and for the wonderful drawings she
produced while she was with us.
Current
Site Projects
I
am currently working on 2 "site projects".
The first is to introduce a mechanism for our members to change
their own profiles .. email addresses, logins, passwords, etc.
At the moment I do this manually when members email me their changes,
and the automation of this function will make this a lot faster
and easier.
The second project is an interface to allow members to upload
their own tubes onto our site to share with other members. I know
that we have mentioned in the past that we were not going to make
this facility available .. however, I still get many requests
for this, and because we listen to our members we are going to
give it a try and see how it works out :-)
It will unfortunately be limited to members only, both for uploading
and downloading. Our biggest worry with this facility is copyright
infringements .. and "members only" makes it easier
to control.
The coding for both of these projects is quite complex .. but
I hope to have them implemented soon.
Our tubes
on CD-ROM ?
I
have had some requests from site visitors asking if we offer our
tubes as a collection on CD-ROM.
At the moment we do not. The reason being that the postage from
South Africa makes the price too high. However, if there is enough
people that would like to purchase our tubes as a collection on
CD-ROM then we can organise somebody in the USA to produce them
there and post them much cheaper.
If you are interested then please click
here and send the email to let me know.
I have no idea on price yet as this will be quite dependent on
numbers ... so if you reply you are under
NO OBLIGATION to buy if we ever produce it. I just want
to get some idea of interest :-)
