On behalf of the FuseMail team, I would like to wish everyone a big green happy Earth Day! In celebration of this event, FuseMail will be shutting off all redundant servers to conserve energy (just kidding, of course).
In all seriousness though, FuseMail is committed to being a green company. In honor of Earth Day, we have made a significant contribution to Conservation International (www.conservation.org). Their mission is to maintain and restore habitats so that wildlife can flourish alonRead More…

Supporting Blackberry, Windows Mobile, Outlook, iPhone and over 1000 other mobile handsets.
The Logic Behind itYou want to stay in sync no matter what device or machine you connect from… It’s not a big ask, but the impact to your efficiency is enormous. However, surprisingly few providers can help unless you pay for an expensive Microsoft Exchange service. Thankfully, we have an alternatRead More…

The long awaited sync service we have been mentioning for a while now is literally hours away from launching. Stay tuned to our blog as we will announce its availability here first.

For those who don’t know about this service yet, it will let you easily sync up your mail, calendars, contacts, tasks and notes between Outlook (and some other email clients) as well as over 1000 different mobile handsets. Even some handsets that don’t support email by default will support it after theRead More…

This is the video tour that we mocked up while looking at our new office space on March 13th. I don’t think we were planning to publish it at first, so apologies for bad quality, stupid remarks, etc.

One of the great features about our new Webmail version is it’s panelling interface. It lets you easily customize the way your webmail looks, so that you can display only the information you need, in exactly the layout you would like.
I made a short video today to demonstrate this functionality. Hope you enjoy it.

Due to FuseMail’s strong growth, we are moving our office to a new location (this is just for our employees, not servers). The new office space will still be in Kansas City (MO), but will be about four times larger than our current space and will put us right in the heart of the downtown area. The office space is on the 23rd floor of the City Center Square building.

Our buildout for the new space has begun and we expect to move in within the first couple of weeks of April. We have incRead More…

FuseMail has announced that it will sponsor HostingCon 2009 as a Silver Sponsor. FuseMail will also exhibit at this event. HostingCon is one of the largest conferences and trade shows for the hosted services industry. Whether you are showcasing your new services, or you are simply checking the pulse of the industry, this is a great event to meet and network with current or potential business partners.

The event was bought by iNet Interactive last year (a company that FuseMail’s presidRead More…

Here’s another improvisation I got done today. It’s based around the theme from Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story.  It’s a really simple, but beautiful melody. Again, hope you enjoy!

I’ve been meaning to do this for a while since I recorded Music of the Night at Christmas for my Grandma. The sound was terrible because I didn’t have a good mic at the time. This time I’ve plugged my keyboard straight into the computer, so it sounds pretty good.

Hope you enjoy it.

It’s been far too long since I’ve written on this and I know some of you out there are interested in what I’ve been up to.

Music

I’ve started playing classical tunes again, which has been a lot of fun. I hadn’t really touched much classical repertoire since leaving high-school, so the return to it has been long overdue. I’m really surprised at how enjoyable it has been and it’s pleasing to see I haven’t lost my ability to play notes quickly! At the moment, I’ve relearned some old Rachmaninoff and added Flight of the Bumblebee and the Chopin Etude in C Major to the repertoire. I’ll try and get some videos back up shortly.

Business

Has been going great… FuseMail has had a pretty good year despite the economic climate. We exhibited at HostingCon about a month ago in Washington DC and the feedback from that has been very good. While I can’t mention names here, we have leads now with quite a few big fish. At the show, I gave a presentation on the past, present and future of the email industry (more focused on the email hosted industry) which had great attendance… around 100 people.

I also had an interview posted with theWhir. You can watch that below:

Sport / Taekwondo, etc.

I’ve been trying to get back into a good workout routine each week. This week I’ve tested for my high brown belt at Taekwondo (www.kckarate.com). All is going well there with the aim still to test for my Black Belt in October next year. I’ve been playing a lot of golf as well (usually twice a week) as well as some Tennis – all good stuff!

Love life

I’m dating a great girl – Laura. She is awesome and we are get along great!

That’s it for now… I promise for more regular updates…
