Griffin Studios – Expanded

Sunday, June 5th, 2011

Griffin Studios is proud to announce the launch of its new website!

There have been some additions to Griffin Studios. We now offer in-house hosting instead of using a third party. This helps us to ensure that all hosting environments are configured to the clients specifications and quick correction of any problems which may arise from hosting.

The second addition, and the more interesting one, is that Griffin Studios now has a web software development department. The internet is fast becoming the transport of choice for many companies, with systems going fully web-based. Our new department is highly skilled in a fantastic framework called Kohana which is built off the popular Code Igniter. It is leaner, faster and simpler to use, ensuring that web software developed by Griffin Studios is up and running sooner.

Although Griffin Studios still sits on a South Africa domain name (.co.za), we have expanded to international clients. The beauty of web development is that it can be done from anywhere and we plan to utilize this feature to its maximum.

Griffin Studios is looking forward to a very bright future.

Death by Computer

Death by Computer

The marathon running machine I call my laptop has recently decided it would rather walk than run. In laymans terms, it slows down to an almost unusable state. It gets so bad it cant even restart itself, complaining that it does not have enough resources. This prompted me to investigate in PC tuning solutions and from previous experience, I re-installed and completely tweaked my PC for best performance using Auslogics Speed Boost. Did it help? No. Did it make my Windows 7 look atrocious? Yes.

That was to be expected however so I am in no way rebuking Speed Boost. It’s actually an extremely useful application and I recommend you try it out. Anyway, thats not the end of my story because as of yet, what I’ve said has nothing to do with the topic. As my computer still decided to take a nap while it was awake, I realized this is not a matter of fragmented disks or overabundance of internet cookies and cache. I started investigating the applications I was using. Apparently FireFox 3.6 has a memory leak which can cause the exact same results that I was experiencing. I swapped to Google Chrome. Did it help? No. Final thought, it must be some sort of virus! (more…)
