Impulse Computer Services Cc

See the "Description" under the "About" section for more details! In 1999, Impulse Computer Services was established by me, Volker Bause, its sole owner, after successful studies as a programmer and years of employment in the technical departments of two large IT companies. Impulse Computer Services Cc is based just outside Windhoek and serves corporate and private customers anywhere in Namibia, i

n English, Afrikaans and German. Activities are focussed around sales and especially after-sales support and service of quality hardware and software. Impulse Computer Services also provides quality ICT and IT Asset management services. Having been involved in technical departments working with customer complaints and claims and addressing the IT needs of especially corporate clients, I realized that there was demand for better IT advice, services and hardware/software than commonly available in Namibia. It took another ten years to build up a customer base for Impulse Computer Services that put quality over price considerations and to organize the internal workings of the company. A good part of 2011/12 was spent re-thinking and re-organizing internal operations so that I could respond better and faster to client requests for goods and services. I am grateful to those clients who kept supporting Impulse Computer Services during this transition, and they are now assured of improved services, just as those who will make use of Impulse Computer Services in future. However, transformation and adaptation always remains high on my agenda, as the IT needs of individuals and corporations change as often and quickly, as the technology that surrounds us. Background: I was born in Namibia, in 1971, to German parents who are descendants of German immigrants, during colonial times in the early 1900's. Over the years, I have come to appreciate traditional German values and principles, although having been brought up in African surroundings and educated in Afrikaans and English schools. My home language is German but I am equally fluent in English and Afrikaans. I always strive for perfection, quality, honesty, rational thinking, and discipline. I am very industrious and have numerous hobbies outside the IT field as well, which include music, photography, woodwork, painting, metalwork and similar activities that make me have an active lifestyle. I am used to overcoming adversities in my work as well as daily life and to turn weaknesses into strengths. I started supplying ICT (Information and communications technology - or technologies) services as well as IT Asset management and disposition services to assist dedicated customers in maximizing returns on aging computer equipment by refurbishing it, if still considered meaningful, and reselling it to clients who had good use for it. Since I generally don't believe in just throwing things away, I can often assist customers with computer spare parts not available on the market anymore. I believe in personalized customer - supplier relationships based on mutual trust and respect. Therefore I am proud and grateful to have clients nowadays who not only fully trust that I will do everything in my power to assist them in achieving their goals but to also admit when constraints on my part make it advisable to seek professional support elsewhere, if only for a limited time or to meet certain demands. Office Hours:
08:00 to 19:00 Weekdays

Where necessary, I am also available many weekends, if jobs are organized and scheduled in advance. Likewise, I am always willing to attend to a crises situation outside normal working hours, as well as on weekends and public holidays. Contact Number(s):

I just wanted to notify everybody that the new web-page for Impulse Computer Services is now online.

http://www.icsnam.org

I thought you might find it interesting to know what we do as well as use our page as a small demonstration of my own web-design skills, which will only improve. It should be noted that I chose a less formal design which allows for better expression of what is possible whilst also making things more interesting. Technical websites can be quite boring if presented in a more formal fashion and this opted me to avoid this path.

Still, their remains much to be done and many revisions to be made. My design already went through 3 revisions based on my experience at the time. Future plans for 2017 include activating a web blog, FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) section anjd a responsive version of Impulse Computer Services. As off December 2017 I will also concentrate my efforts in setting up database driven ticket system to make it easier for clients to reach us and track their status. I believe their might be a greater need for such systems in Namibia and globally.

Future development for early 2018 include PHP and Wordpress. PHP should be easy enough to master with existing programming skills such as C++ to name just one. Wordpress also appears simple enough. We believe it would be more. A sneak peak at both indicated that getting familiarized won't be to difficult. Both could be mastered in a very short time. The struggle would be gaining more in-depth experience and advanced techniques. As with HTML5 and CSS3, most of the time is spend on refining existing skills and we have learned something new every day.

Did you know that according to Cisco, 91% of cyber attacks in 2013 & 2014 were Java-based?

Oracle’s decision in early 2016 to eliminate its Java browser plugin has helped to make Java a less attractive web attack vector.

It's shameful and questionable why FNB (i.e. First National Bank) Namibia, who appeared surprised when I contacted them around March / April 2017, still hasn't stopped using browser plugins. Their recommendation instead was to either use Firefox ESR (i.e. Extended Support Release) or Internet Explorer. They promised they were working on an update which would be implemented in May. Surprise, surprise, we are in the middle of October, at least 5 months past the due date and still I am awaiting FNB to get rid of Java for their Online Internet Banking. According to CIsco, Java-based attacks are on the decline. Isn't it obvious why! Everybody stopped using Java plugins. The question on my mind is when FNB Namibia will wake up and smell the coffee?

As per their (FNB's) recommendations (Use Internet Explorer or use Firefox ESR) back then - No serious person uses Internet Explorer for anything other than downloading another web browser. IMHO Microsoft Edge, the replacement browser for Windows 10 is not much better. It's basically a Google Chrome rip-off. The only time I use it is if I have no other choice, which is rare. In my personal experience, Firefox (Standard release) is presently your best option if you are a heavy browser user. It' not perfect but it gets the job done. I specifically prefer it for its extensive plug-in support and reasonable lightweight use of Internet bandwidth. Bandwidth and memory usage is the primary reason I haven't been using Google Chrome for a while now. The only thing it has going for it is it's reasonably simple design and Google integration. I tried to get it to behave more like Firefox does by default. I prefer customizing my and my customer's computers to my needs and not me and my customer's needs to my or their computer's needs. Computers are there to serve us and not the other way round. Same goes for big companies, institutions and corporations. You are there to serve your clients and not the other way round.

I have got a similar incident with MTC at the moment which believes that it is OK to disrupt Internet data services between 00:00 and 00:30 each day, never mind the unsolicited spam they send their customers in the form of competitions and who cares what new ways of customer abuse they can dream up in future.
