On 11 July, GreenNet staff will be taking part in some strategic planning sessions, in order to review our working practices and improve the products and services that we offer our users. As a result, there will be reduced technical support available. If your query is urgent, please leave a message on 020 7065 0942 (or 0845 055 4011 if you are outside of London) and we will respond as soon as possible. For all other enquiries, please write to support@gn.apc.org. Thanks for your understanding, we only do this once or twice a year!

We’re excited to announce a cool new tool to make GreenNet email even better! Your GN email account now gives you not only unlimited mailbox size, a choice of pop, imap and web based mail, but also access to your own auto response message tool. You can set up an ‘away from my mail’ message – whenever you want, from wherever you are, using whatever text you like. Check the step by step guide for setting up your own auto-responder in the support section of the website.

Don’t let moving links spoil your day. Webmail still has a link and it’s still at the top of the page – it’s just a bit more over to the right hand corner. You see – it’s just over there and it works just the same as it ever did.

I told my kids today that we were about to launch the GreenNet website and they asked me if we’d be using a rocket or a space ship. In the event it was a bit less dramatic than that. Mimo typed in some commands on the server, and I went out for a cup of tea with Liz and Hattie.
Well there was a bit more to it than that…

It’s the 29th of April 2008. Forty days of rain, impending mayoral elections, and the new web site is almost ready to go live. But is it really ready to go live?!

I have decided to enable the blog facility here on the new GN web site. The aim of this is to document significant technical development on the site and the way things are done. Also, it should allow other GN workers to see what features are new/available. Screenshots inside!
