Slipping out of the net - streamline.net

Advantages: was a good job
Disadvantages: Company sold out staff suffer

...I just thought I would point out some facts which are probably not known about streamline. net. Originally it was a very small company started by the owner , Andrew Dollermore in his father's barn in Derbyshire. It grew rapidly and was doing very well - over about 8 years I believe. Towards the end of the time - Oct 2008 There were about 12 web support staff who covered this service hroughout the day and night every day of the year. They were a nice close-knit group and enjoyed their job in this small family company. In April 2008 Streamline.net was sold for a huge sum - several millions - to Fasthost based down in Gloucestershire. All the staff were told that their jobs were guaranteed for a year. If they then had to move to Glouceter then there would be a removal package to help with tansfer to Gloucester. In September...

Review of Streamline.net

* Find them on t'net . .

Advantages: Keeps luggage secure.
Disadvantages: None at all.

...These things are a real boon, when it comes to securing anything on a roof rack, you need something like a net, otherwise your suitcases could be strewn all over the motorway. This happens everyday of the year, sometimes with dire consequences. The Police and Highways Agency are out there recovering your treasured items of luggage, and sometimes clearing up after road traffic collisions resulting from debris on the road. The idea is simple, the elasticated net, encapsulates all manner of kit, in a tray on your roofrack, and keeps it contained and safe. I very often see huge mounds of luggage piled high on roofs, with nothing more than just a couple of bungey straps to hold everything down. Thule are a company with a good track record in travel equipment, including these nets. They have a decent website, although to be honest, I...

avoid streamline.net

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Seems to me they behave like internet scammers

...Beware of Streamline.net and read the small print. The following is based on my personal experience and I am still in dispute with this company. To begin with, I thought they were a good company providing a good vale service but they seem operate an obscure contract of automatic renewal every two years which can only be avoided if you notify them that you wish to cancel the contract before the automatic renewal date. If you forget, and this unnoticed transaction takes place, they will hold you in the contract for the full period of two years with no refund. ?Streamline.net - the home of good value hosting? is oft quoted by them as part of their sales pitch. No, they are not, as a quick browse of a review site will demonstrate. I am now with another company http://www.5quidhost.co.uk This new host even provides a free hosting...

Clippasafe Cot Cat Net - Not very safe at all

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: doesn't do what it says on the tin

...When I discovered I was pregnant, the first thing that everybody said (after Congratulations), was "what are you going to do with the cats?". The general consensus of opinion seemed to be that having 3 cats was not compatible with having a baby in the house. Somebody said you will have to get rid of them, and I said, no way, because up until then, our 3 cats were our babies! I started looking into cat-proofing the cot and nursery. One easy option was to shut the bedroom doors, therefore stopping the cats from going in there! The next option was to buy cat nets for the Moses basket and the Cot bed. After a bit of research I settled on this one, the Clippasafe Cot Cat Net. It is suitable for both cots and cot beds. WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE? Well, the Cat Net is made of a strong secure open weave white mesh. It fits...

Foot-easy.net

Advantages: Footy
Disadvantages: Easy

...It's a grey afternoon in the beginning September 2001 and the football season is about to start. Matthew Britton, a lonely 13-year-old boy is bored while surfing the net. He suddenly has an idea. 'I want to do a fantasy football management thingamajig'. Matthew straight away goes to the sky sports website which had for seasons provided a god, free and easy service. He signed up and was just about to finish the deal when he got to the last part. 'Credit card details'. He was stuck. Why would anyone PAY for football management on the net??? He would give in. Why should he pay for a little fun? After going through the same process with many other web sites like Lycos and stuff like footballmanagement.co.uk he gave up hope and searched for another way to fill up his day. A few weeks after he was looking on the Brighton and Hove...

Can you trust the Net Nanny?

Advantages: Restricts online chat, blocks unsafe websites
Disadvantages: Cannot properly determine safe and unsafe websites

...Net Nanny 5 is just another 'Security Package'. But with the insurance of Internet Security, there is an added bonus of 'Parental Control'. The Net Nanny 5 provides a Chat Monitor which discretely monitors and records popular chat and instant messaging programs. It will also notify you when your child is in a potentially risky conversation, limit the time spent on online chat and will stop your child from giving out personal information. Net Nanny 5 is an excellent program for parents with relatively young kids, as this package restricts lengthy chatting times and also blocks inappropriate websites. You will also be able to personalize the security settings to suit the ages of your children. However, there is a downside to all of this. The disadvantage is for parents who use the internet. Net Nanny 5 will block potentially unsafe...

Earn a couple of bucks a week with dollarsurveys.net

Advantages: easy and quick surveys
Disadvantages: some offers lead to spam, you get rejected from most offers

...DollarSurveys.net is not going to make you a wealthy person however it will throw a couple of dollars into your pockets every week for very little effort. All that is required of you is the email address which is attached to your PayPal account - they require no other information for you to conduct surveys however there are some things you need to be on the lookout for. See, DollarSuveys may be a legitimate site, however outside of their surveys you may be invited to sign up for things elsewhere - and that is where you could end up with a headache. So this review is going to teach you how to navigate through the surveys available to determine which are safest so you can earn money and avoid spam. Some offers that pop up regularly seem shady at best and require you to register to some other site which will only spam up your inbox...

Caught in the net

Advantages: Exciting
Disadvantages: It was made in 1995 so some technological advances have been made since

...The Net is a film that shows how powerful computers can be when in the wrong hands. Sandra Bullock plays computer systems analyst, Angela Bennett. A lonely woman who eats, sleeps, works, and relaxes at home, with just her internet friends to keep her company. She even orders her food online and works from home having never been to her office at Cathedral, the company she works for. As she goes nowhere, she never sees anyone. Some might not even realise she exists. She does nothing but work, and even though this is a pleasure, she plans to take a holiday. Also booked on the internet. Before she goes she gets a phone call. From a guy asking her out but she's too comfortable on her own and declines. Then a package arrives for her. In it is a disk sent from a work friend at Cathedral, labelled ‘weirdness here, call...

Review of The Net (DVD)

Strawberry.net and cream anyone

Advantages: Cheap, quick delivery
Disadvantages: Customs duties, sometimes not cheap

...follow your parcel all the way from the Far East, a bit like a parent whose only child is on their first school trip, who keeps phoning the teachers mobile phone. Good news/bad news If your order is more than £18 in value, Customs can open it, then charge like a wounded bull. You will then have to pay the duty, and a charge to cover administration, which can be quite hefty. However, as a goodwill gesture, Strawberry net will sometimes refund this to you - so get a receipt when you pay the duty, cos they'll want to see a copy. VERY BAD things 1. Sometimes it's not cheaper at all. For example, some things are listed as having a substantial percentage off, but are actually charged at higher than UK retail. Sometimes the discount is so small, it's really not worth the bother. 2. You have to sign for your parcel. This is a good thing...

Review of StrawberryNET

Paint.NET is suitable for everyone and easy to use

Advantages: Very Easy to use, attractive piece of software, loads quickly.
Disadvantages: not a wide selection of functions

...I can not remember when I first came across this software. It's just something I always make sure to have on my computer and use regularly. It is free to download, easy to use and loads extremely quickly. I am not quite sure what the installation requirements but it works fine on Windows XP. Visit here: http://paint.net/ And make sure to click the image on the right of the screen, as to not end up downloading the original paint program that comes with the computer. This is almost like an updated version, which looks much more modern and features much more things to do when drawing or editing photographs. It is okay for photo manipulation, but does not offer the precise functions that Adobe Photoshop or GIMP would offer. So if you are looking for a program to fix photographs, I would not suggest Paint.NET. This program is more...
