We’re meant to be moving today from our home ‘Ongar Towers’ at the Essex Technology & Innovation Centre into our new bigger offices in Springfield Road, Chelmsford.

Solicitors moving slowly (not ours!) has resulted in a slight delay, until that moment we remain at Ongar.

So contact details remain the same, we’ll release our new address and local phone number once we move in…. Our national telephone number will remain the same 0845 868 90 20.

We’ve just upgraded our computers at Cleveratom, we now have MacBook Pro’s. Running applications for me are now a lot lot faster, my G4 Powerbook was getting very slow.

Migrating from one Mac to another is very easy. Using a firewire lead simply link together and migrate!

Hal and I were astonished by the speed MacBook Pro gave when rendering film footage in Final Cut Pro.

Intel in Mac simply rocks.

We’re loving iChat video built into the screens! Still got to think what I’m gonna call this Mac, so far I’ve named laptops Milhouse, SuperTed and Elwood.

Back in June last year I worked in Northern Ireland on the BBC Blast Truck. Emma the event producer sent the link today of the TV programme that went out with me on it….

Take a look at what I wrote last year here on my blog about the events.

I also wrote about the truck stops at Belfast and Derry over at digitalcreativity.org

Take a look, I’m near the end of the show running the animation sessions…. which was broadcast on BBC 2 last year….

Watch the show!

The best organised events last year were Northern Ireland and Cardiff.

clever.jpgWe’ve been running now for five months, enjoying the projects and experiences. We got to the point where we needed somebody to help us deliver on some of our technology based projects, and we’ve interviewed and hired our first employee… Welcome to Damian who will be joining us shortly.

Our project list has been expanding and a positive pace, so much so that our blue board (which I wrote about back in April) has turned into two blue boards…… soon to be three ….

On July 1st Cleveratom moves to Chelmsford into a larger office near the town centre. This puts us back on the main line to London and increases our working space substantially. We’re really grateful to our friends at Exdra who have helped and supported us so far in our Ongar offices. Time has gone so fast since we moved into Ongar on the 22nd of January (I wrote about it here).

We continue to increase our technical team (PHP, JAVA, RUBY, C++ etc…) size, CV’s have been arriving thanks to our appeal… the more the merrier!! the address to send to is on our website.

July the 1st will mark a new era for the company, we’re looking forward to the continued projects, challenges and enjoyment this business is bringing.
