It's been an interesting couple of weeks for everyone, I'm sure. I've been searching for my earphones as my 2-year-old has been telling me they are her stethoscope and hiding them in various places around the house. Working from home certainly has its challenges!

😂 Best of Sean Locke

One of our favourite comedians passed away recently. Here is a playlist of some of his funniest moments. If you're easily offended (or at work) maybe skip this one.

⌚ The Way Back Machine

Have you ever wanted to look at an old website that doesn't exist any more? The way back machine will let you do just that. It periodically takes snapshots of websites, allowing you to view them from previous periods.

📖 Scribd (Craig's Link, Chris's Link)

This is Netflix for books. You pay a monthly subscription to get access to a range of books, audiobooks, magazines and more. The range is pretty decent. You won't find every book you're after, but you'll find a fair few of them. I like to listen to audiobooks while going to sleep. There's a handy sleep timer that will automatically stop an audiobook after a set amount of time. Use one of our referral links to get 2 months for free. We get an extra month ourselves if you do.

😎 What we're up to

It's certainly been a strange last few weeks. We've been working away at our computers as normal. However, there's been a bit more variety than usual. We modified an ecommerce system for a food service, so that they could integrate pick up dates and times into their checkout. We've moved multiple sites between multiple servers. We've been squeezing extra speed out of websites with some of the latest tips and tricks. We even got to modify our own plugin for a very specific need for a customer.

Now that we are down to level 2, we are excited to be working alongside Hannah and Emmari for RBPN. You can read a little more about it below.
