Website Speed
Today I dramatically improved the load time of our eTill website after finding a bug in the PHP code.
We where using the getimagesize function, but passing a full URL instead of a relative file name. Each time the function was called, the server had to download the image instead of looking on the local drive.

Retail EPOS Website
A few days ago we launched the website for our new retail EPOS software, eTill.
We are tried a few different product names for the retail till software, before settling on eTill. The letter e signifies once of the key features of the new package, simple e-commerce website integration.
The original name for our new retail software was reTill and we may use this name again in the future.
