Today, The UX Group completes 5 years of its existence. What an experience it has been! Don't ask how we did it despite the downturn and many odds. We stay focussed and have faith in the fact that open source never fails us. Surely it didn't! Nor did the people who encouraged and motivated us throughout. Thanks a ton. The developer of C language - Dennis Richie, who was instrumental in Unix

In place of the WiMax internet connection that we had as a backup to our main broadband connection, we took another broadband connection from BSNL. Everything was set up quickly on Linux yesterday. Then the sudden surprise before they are about to leave! -  the assitant tech person mentioned "formalities" (meaning some tip or bribe, whatever you may call it)!?! We flatly denied saying that we do

SysAdmin day is celebrated on the last friday of July every year around the world. With this year's SysAdmin Appreciation Day just a week away, we wonder how much importance companies around us give to the overworked and (mostly) underpaid SysAdmins! Do companies still think that they are a necessary overhead? Do they still try in vain to figure out how to calculate their effort into monetary

The delivery boy from DTDC couriers says that they can deliver our consignments only between 1 and 2PM. Just to pick on us, they have sent one of our consignments back to the sender instead of working it out with us on the best time of delivery. It seems that these service-motive souls try to teach us something! Requesting all our clients not to send us any communication through these great

2010 has come already, while we are busy announcing our new hosting offer (2x Hosting) and modifying the hosting server's firewall wrapper (which is causing unnecessary extra load). Fine, let's hope for the better and let's hope the decision makers in our state and country talk and act sensibly, rather than act like comedians. We have had enough entertainment already, watching their flawed

We have completed three years of our existence on Oct 13th, 2009. We thought the business would fare well this year, but from Jan till Dec, the whole year, we have seen the worst performance in our segment, and so does our business. However, this has proved to be an excellent time to figure out who our real friends are! Some of the web domains which we thought of developing and popularizing have

We thank everyone for contacting us to find out whether we are fine. We are watching the situation closely and The UX Group is safe from flooding as of now, as the flood water hasn't entered Vijayawada city yet. We have been watching the histrionics, short-sightedness and the after-effects of systematic weakening of the basic administrative structure by the so-called leaders. None of them have

We dedicate this month to review our existing partnerships and to have some new ones, using which we can offer some more innovative services or solutions in our niche areas. Keep watching our company site for the updates.

After the recent upgrade of our sites from 1.5.11 to 1.5.12, while trying to edit a content page, we noticed that not all editing buttons could be seen at the top of the edit window. TinyMCE, our default editor, has got updated in this upgrade alongwith some security and other fixes. Googling, we figured that we have to edit the TinyMCE editor plugin's functionality to "Extended", apply the

This brand-new Sun Fire T1000 server, which we never got a chance to even power up all these months since it arrived has finally been placed where it should belong to! Came with Solaris 10 pre-installed. Our engineers set up DHCP, connected a network cable, and powered it on. We figured its IP fine, but it took us a while to find out the ALOM sc admin password (It is the last 8 characters of its

We have just launched another hosting offer, in which, for all the annual plans that we offer, you pay only for 6 months and get hosting for one full year. Since there are limited number of promotional coupons, we suggest that you check out this promotional offer and use it for your hosting needs. We assure you a trouble-free hosting experience with TUXG Hosting.

We would've been happier, had IBM closed the deal with Sun Micro; but Oracle buying Sun? To do what? Remembering the past, if this deal hasn't gone through, would they have created UBS (Unbreakable Solaris)? Shame on them for creating UBL in the first place! It is anybody's guess what they have achieved with UBL.If everything goes smoothly regarding this buy, we need to rethink whether we have to

It happened somehow finally. Solaris Made Easy , one of our sites which gets lots of diverse traffic (despite nothing much currently ;-) ), has a new look finally. We uploaded the new design today. Hope we get time to add all the content in the near future. Keep watching...

Lately, we have seen a few companies trying to mimic our site wordings etc in order to rank higher in search results for their web hosting services. So, we decided to show them the taste of a proper SEO and marketing effort. We knew that we neglected doing this for quite some time. Two weeks ago, we got started with a clear strategy of improving the visibility and rankings of our Web Hosting

Due to workload, we couldn't cover this in our last post. Our second year of operating The UX Group has taught us some more lessons. While we continue to believe that persistence and hard work pays off, we are pleasantly surprised to note that a few companies are getting inspired by us and implementing our ideas at their workplaces. We do encounter other copycats, who just try to mimic us,

We now have completed another year successfully. On this eve, we have launched a directory service for Coastal Andhra Pradesh. Over the next few days, we will be adding most of the resources to make it a full-fledged resource site for this region, which is not properly covered by the existing online directories.

Its almost a year since our last post here! Having a blog and not updating it regulary is worse than not having one. So, from now on, we promise regular updates here.Okay, we have started a new project yesterday. This is to create a directory of resources about locations which are not properly covered by other sites so far. We will announce this on our 2nd Anniversary day (Oct 13th).

A year has passed so quickly - leaving us with so many experiences to learn from and making us realize what it takes to run a business! We decided not to spend our money on some bashes on this occasion; rather we have decided to give this anniversary offer. So, what actually have we learnt in this one year? We learnt 3Ps and 1Q as our success formula: * Patience

We launched a Linux-based web proxy configuration service named tuxprox today. Considering the need for the local businesses to have a cost-effective alternative to speed up their Net connection speed, we have included all the needed features in this service. As a matter of fact, this service would always be a work in progress since we keep on improving the features and/or add some more as we see

Joomla CMS on our site upgraded from version 1.0.10 to 1.0.12 today. Took us 30 mins to finish the whole thing, including taking backups beforehand. Apart from better security, we now got SE-friendly URLs working also for our site.
