I’ve been looking round for a small, simple helpdesk system that I can use for keep track of contact with my customers.
I want something that can create tickets via e-mail, something that’s easy to manage and, because I’m just starting out, something that’s free!
I’ve decided to give Trellis Desk from Accord5 a go. I’ve not seen it talked about much but it was pretty easy to install and looks really nice.
A friend of mine has recently launched his website selling jewelry in the UK - www.sanye.co.uk
Why not head on over and check it out and, maybe, buy someone something nice 
I have no shame in admitting that my graphic design skills are pretty poor!
When I needed a logo for my new system administration company I first had a go at designing it myself and really didn’t like the results. So, time to get a professional in.
I had heard about elance before - elance.com is a website where you can employ all kinds of freelance professionals for one off jobs. There are programmers, graphic artists, accountants, lawyers … I signed up and paid my $10 (refundable) deposit and started to have a look at what, and how, other people were asking for logos.
You basically create a “Project” that details all of your requirements. As I found out later on it pays to be quite specific when you are drawing up your requirements. Instead of just saying “Logo wanted …”, I had a pretty good idea what I wanted and tried to describe it as best as I could.
So, I finally finished the website for my fledgling system administration business - http://sysadminman.net/
Please let me know what you think!
