What it takes to keep a business afloat in hard times...

News

...are sometimes hard decisions.

I regret to announce that I will not be able to take on new website design clients at this time. The past six months have been the hardest I've ever faced in this business, and have forced me to make some tough choices as to the central focus of Firewind Productions.  One of those is that I am unable to take on new website clients at this time.  The other is that I will no longer be able to provide the 800 number for my clients.  I will be available on my cell at 208-790-4739.

For my existing clients: no, I'm not going away or going out of business.  I am, however, in the process of restructuring my priorities and juggling the various things I do.  I'll be sending out a personal letter to each of you explaining the details.  Thank you to each of you for letting me serve you.

Blessings,
Jason Hackwith

Email Issues on FirewindProductions.com Resolved

Clients

We identified and fixed a problem today with SpamAssassin, the anti-spam filtering program we use on Firewind Productions' email server.  This only affected emails to and from the domain FirewindProductions.com and does not at this time appear to have affected any client emails, so you shouldn't have seen any interruption in your own email service.

Basically, about a dozen client emails sent to addresses on FirewindProductions.com were incorrectly deleted by the anti-spam program but have since been recovered.  Several outgoing emails from FirewindProductions.com were also apparently incorrectly blocked.

I apologize for any inconvenience to clients who were wondering why they didn't get a reply from me!  I'll be contacting everybody involved today and tomorrow morning to take care of your questions or any other outstanding issues.

The problem appears to be resolved, however if you don't receive a prompt reply to an email you've sent to me, shoot me a call on my cell at 208-790-4739 or toll free at 800-698-1647.  If you can't reach me right away, leave a message and I'll call you right back!

URGENT: Serious security flaw found in Microsoft Internet Explorer

News

From the BBC News:

Users of Microsoft's Internet Explorer are being urged by experts to switch to a rival until a serious security flaw has been fixed. The flaw in Microsoft's Internet Explorer could allow criminals to take control of people's computers and steal their passwords, internet experts say....
      "Microsoft is continuing its investigation of public reports of attacks against a new vulnerability in Internet Explorer," said the firm in a security advisory alert about the flaw.
      Microsoft says it has detected attacks against IE 7.0 but said the "underlying vulnerability" was present in all versions of the browser. Other browsers, such as Firefox, Opera, Chrome, Safari, are not vulnerable to the flaw Microsoft has identified.
