Kwik-Az Updating (Version 5.0) released in Beta

Sat, 21 Jun 2008 00:00:00 +1200

Kwik-Az Updating Version 5.0 has now been launched in Beta. Called K5 for short, K5 is available to Go Kiwi Internet customers, although some restrictions may apply for a while to existing users with advanced features.

Conversions will be handled on a first-come-first-served basis. Get in first before the waiting list grows!

K5 is a major version release, effectively a total new back-end that brings amazing speed and increased power to all K5 users. K5 is Application software that is so fast that it has to be tried to believe it. Test have shown K5 to be up to 50 times faster than some CMS systems and at least twenty times faster than previous Kwik-Az versions. This is because K5 is a program that resides on your own computer, so there is no longer any need to CLICK and WAIT, CLICK and WAIT while the Internet downloads the updating pages.

Our development team is proud of their work and are excited to make months of progarmming work a reality for GKI customers. Director and Technical Manager, Tony Rigden says "I believe that this is the way of the future - using a rich, powerful application on the customers' computer, and only accessing the web to update the page. It totally removes the WORLD WIDE WAIT factor!"

Production Manager, Eileen Taffard is looking forward to helping customers downlaod and install K5. "K5 is so easy! They [GKI customers] are going to love it!"

Managing Director, Dennis Smith says that K5 is a new direction forward for the company. "Our focus is on giving tools that are fast, easy-to-use, and just get the job done. Most Go Kiwi Internet customers can't be bothered with waiting and fancy features that never work. They want to get in there, do the changes and get on with their business. K5 is a great improvement to previous versions of Kwik-Az Updating."

K5 has it's own website, with screenhots, online help and FAQs.

Invite to Internet UNMASKED!!

Sun, 24 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +1300

Happy New Year, - that's if we haven't had any contact with you so far in 2008!
If you are located in the greater Auckland district (or if you are coming to Auckland in April), would you join me for an amazing educational experience on Wednesday the 16th April? The Web Developers Association of NZ is running an educational and networking event called Internet UNMASKED!! that will just blow your socks off - I promise.

I will of course be presenting again - this time two full-on sessions - and we are launching our new book on the day (Internet UNMASKED!! - The Essential Handbook for New Zealand Business and Not-For-Profits - 2008). We have limited the numbers attending to just 800 (yes this is one MAJOR event!) and six other professional speakers and authors will be joining me to share our knowledge and experiences. We already know of people coming from as far as Gisborne and Timaru just for the day - and it will be well worth it.

Go Kiwi Internet has purchased a number of copies of the book and we are offering the Internet UNMASKED!! book to all Go Kiwi Internet customers attending the event at a VERY SPECIAL below cost PRICE of only $1.00 incl GST. This book is being sold on the day for $39.95!.

This 2008 handbook is not just any book. It is a massive 250 page, high quality, easy to read, A4 format book packed with 60,000+ words of very practical suggestions and professional advice on everything to do with the Internet for business and Not for Profits. It also has contributions from dozens of New Zealand web developers, all sharing their advice with you.

Here's the deal . . . Just log on to www.internetunmasked.co.nz and register your attendance for the day using the Promotional Code 1670287 and you can order the book for $1.00 and get a FREE LUNCH. You can use the Promotional Code as many times as you like for your friends and colleagues, but the book offer is only valid for one copy per Go Kiwi Internet customer.

I know some of you told me that you regretted missing the other events, so now is the time to get in early. Earlybird registrations close on 19 March 2008 which is a saving of $50.00 + GST. ($99.00 + GST is the Earlybird price - $149.00 + GST after 19 March)

As many of you will know, I've been presenting nationwide for the Web Developers Association for almost 2 years now, and everyone who has attended the past events has got good value. Internet UNMASKED!! - especially with the book launch and one-time offer - will be a day you won't forget in a hurry.

On top of the seven experts presentations, there will also be seven speed networking events throughout the day, so there is a good chance that you may even meet someone who you can do business with. Speed networking is a cross between speed dating and a Business After Five network meeting. It really works well, as it is a simple quick formal process, only a few minutes at a time and everyone loves it.

The Internet is now reaching right into our various businesses in more ways that one - online banking, email marketing, security risks, global markets and opportunities. We are all at different stages of our learning with these new technologies. Come along for the day and hear from our various experts, and of course "yours truly", on how you can use the new technologies in your business.

Now, if you really absolutely can't get along on the day (like say, you will be in Europe at the time, or you are getting married the day before) and you just can't get your husband or wife or secretary or cleaner to attend for you, the book will be available from 16 April, at the normal price of $39.95 at Whitcoulls or available online at www.emerald.co.nz.

For our Christchurch and Wellington customers, WDANZ may be bringing Internet UNMASKED!! to you later in the year, but these details are yet to be confirmed. To everyone else, I look forward to seeing you on the day.

Regards
Dennis Smith
Managing Director
Go Kiwi Internet

PS. Of course, please feel free to contact Eileen at production@gokiwi.net or (09) 489-2222 if you need any help with your website. We're here to help.

E-Mail configuration

Wed, 31 Oct 2007 00:00:00 +1300

We strongly advise all clients to use their own domain name for email purposes, at the earliest possible opportunity.

If you tell people to use an address something@xtra.co.nz or something@clear.net.nz then you are simply wasting opportunity. Using your ISP's email address when you have your own domain name is just buying yourself a future problem. When you wish to change to another ISP (and we all will want to do this at some point), you will have to reprint all your marketing and advise your whole contact list of your new address!

Transferring your email to your own domain name is easy. The old email address will still continue to work as long as you are with your old ISP and you can reprint your business cards with your new address in due course.

Your new email settings will be:

Incoming mailserver: pop.safemail.co.nz
Outgoing mailserver: smtp.[your ISP here] (e.g. xtra.co.nz, ihug.co.nz etc)
Username: as supplied
Password: as supplied
