'remix' Expunged

When we began the site 'remix' came up as a keyword with some competitive possibilities and we used it pretty extensively on our early pages.

We were always aware that it has come to have a special meaning but consulting Wikipedia earlier this week it became apparent that our use of it is way out of step with current usage and so we have expunged it from the public parts of our site. It is still present in file names and the description of many of our products on BitPass.

It will be interesting to see how long it takes for this change to impact. Many of the references to our site include text from our first month of operation and it can take a very long time i.e. years for this to be eliminated.

We have been working with a selection from JS Bach's Brandenburg Concertos (some of the faster movements) and should publish them later today when you can visit that page and listen to the LoFi streaming samples.

Customer Contact

Working over the internet you tend not to have too much customer contact. You can see the visitors coming through the site and what they stop to look at or in our case listen to. Even when they progress from visitor to customer the flow of funds and goods are achieved automatically and there is little human contact. So it is quite nice from time to time to get those little e-mail challenges like the one yesterday who couldn't find his downloaded files. It turns out that he had fallen victim to Microsoft's help in the way of hidden files on XP. Those of us who grew up on 2000 are used to being able to thread our way all round our directory structures - even unto the depths of our temp files with all their wondrous collections of cookies. In XP by default users, including those with admin priviliges, are not trusted to see these nether regions or even be aware that they are there but when IE is also configured to automatically put downloaded files there we have a problem.
