1) Thank you to those who sent in the information about their Christmas Fairs/ Fayres etc. after
the October Update Email. If you went to one or more of the events perhaps if you saw something special or different or would like to write an article, you could email an item with or without photos to add to the
web site.
2) Thank you to all those on Gosport Borough Council who made it possible for the items about
Gosport.info to go in to the December 2007 issue of the Councils newsletter. Remember a free entry for all Gosport linked businesses and organisations can be added to Gosport.info, just send me the details. In the
same newsletter there is good news about the ferry pontoon, if you do not live in Gosport you can read it on the Council web site
3) I know Gosport.info web site is due for an update, or so I have been told by 2 web designers,
who phoned for business but when they hear about the number of pages and the level of income, they are no longer interested . I did started looking in to making the web site about 8 years ago, though I did not get
the site on the Internet until 18 months later. So I accept that its style is a bit old fashioned. I use Net Objects Fusion 9 (from version 5) I have been trying out Ubuntu Linux, the software will not work, so am
seeing if I can use Nuv, though it seems to do each page separately, someone has suggested using something that you can use from a web browser, any suggestions about what I could try, gratefully received,
though I do need something that can work with the current site at least for a while.
4) I understand another site in Gosport, covering Lee, has a lot of interest in the site due to
the forum. There was one set-up by Craig Jones and MyGosport.org, but understand they did not get much interest. I believe that the Gosport.info Blog at http://gosportinfo.blogspot.com/ can be used in that
way. I will try to add more to it but you can add comments, or just carry out sending me your emails, which I find a great help.
5) Nick Millerchip a Gosport resident have recently launched a new Internet startup
company and we are looking for some local press coverage. The following is a brief synopsis of our site at aims to make life just that little bit easier. Whether its a quote required for property maintenance or pet grooming. Bookkeeping or blind fitting, Spondoola allows the user to upload their request for free. Registered suppliers (businesses) are able to search listed RFQ's (Request For Quotes) and tender for the work.
Jey Muir sent the following. (UWDC) at www.millrig.co.uk have just introduced a couple of new services that I thought might be of use to your readers if there is anyway for them to be given a wider audience: 1. We now have a process for all local fund raisers, scouts, cubs, swimming clubs, football clubs, gym clubs, coffee groups, church groups etc, to be able to get an income every month towards their fund raising activities. 2. The second service we have introduced is a combined package of broadband with a free Lap Top computer with a lifetime warrantee. 3. The third new service is the ability of giving residential and business customers a new telephone line with its own local number (02392 us), that plugs into your router and it only costs £2 per month. This service should not be confused with VOIP or Skype, but a true 2nd (or 3rd) phone line. Ian Jeffery www.gosport.info
