Sky Banners Fly and Ferris Wheels Turn

Two new and exciting plugboards from OziFree have just been released.

First we saw the new Timed Sky Banners make their debut with animated planes flying across the screen towing little advertising banners with the name of the web site they were promoting. The clever little planes begin flying at the top of the plugboard when first plugged or posted, and as time elapses, they begin flying lower and lower, until finally they reach the tarmac and become vacant again.

It’s an interesting concept that provides a unique twist to the basic plugboards, as pluggers do not even need to have their own button image, just a site title and the URL they wish to link to.

The latest addition to the plugboards stable, is the new and very unique Ferris Wheel plugboard. The wheel is now available currently decked out in the OziFree Christmas livery, that will revert to a skinnable typical Ferris Wheel, as soon as the festive season is over.

At the moment, 8 cute little smileys continually don their Santa suits as they rotate around the wheel, then they brush behind a Christmas tree, before appearing in the Gondola Station, where they can be clicked on to visit the web site they promote.

An interesting feature for the absolutely bored plugger is the ability to move the mouse cursor in the station and rapidly increase the speed at which the wheel revolves. Placing the cursor once again on a gondola while it is in the station stops the wheel from turning, until the cursor is moved outside the station square.

This would have to be one of the best examples of a Ferris Wheel Plugboard that we have seen yet.

New Ozifree site is done

Well after much hard work we have successfully re-coded the entire OziFree website. As we mentioned earlier in another post, we have retained a theme similar to the original, but without all the clutter.

Everything is now managed from one menu bar, with drop down sub-menus. Some categories with many sub-pages such as the Nigerian 419 email scams have an additional menu-bar located at the top of each page.

Another big change is that the single plugboard page has now been replaced with individual pages for each different PlugPanel. Each PlugPanel now displays the installation code required at the bottom of the page.

We have gone all out and have purchased our own HP Proliant web server, and have co-located it directly within a major data-center in Australia. This way we have direct connection to the internet, and are no longer reliant upon the routers and web servers of others.
