Top 100 Websites

Hello from Texas,

I hope this blog finds you and finds you well!

I read and interesting article on the BBC webpage @ http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8562801.stm

As you can see, the leader of the pack is Synchro32! Wink
The preferred favorite of metalcasters around the globe! Cool

Ok, so I took a little "creative license" with the data, but give Synchro32 a year and this will ring very true!

Hope all is well in your neck of the woods. If the USA, we went through the "twice a year" ritual of changing our clocks. I do believe that the vast majority of Americans wish that we would stop this horrid habit. We "sprang forward" an hour and I went through the motions of changing all the clocks. Just think of all the time "wasted" by everyone in the USA having to change all the clocks. What is really frightening is the amount of money it costs businesses in "changing time". I saw a website page at CISCO a while back, and when the USA decided to change the date of the time change a couple of years ago, it was a massive undertaking for companies to reprogram software, routers, switches, etc. See http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk648/tk362/technologies_tech_note09186a00807ca437.shtml for an idea on how big of a challenge this is.

Time waits for no man. Time is fleeting. Time is an economic resource that once lost, can never ever be recovered. Time can't be stored for a future date and has an instant expiration date. Let's get out of this ridiculous ritual of changing time 2x a year and stick with one time.

Tis all for now. See you on down the road in Orlando Florida for CastExpo. Be sure and check out the platinum standard for metalcasting software at booth #2101 - Synchro32. Come and shake hands with Chris Collins, Managing Director/CEO, Simon Adlington, Worldwide Implementation Manager, and Shane Allen, North American operations!

Look forward to seeing you there.

Until next time...
