  • RAMPro

    Softpedia

    RAMPro will empty out any free working space which was left behind from a process. Basically each program requires RAM to run, it takes some space and works with it. Sometimes a process doesn't need that space any more but doesn't empty it again. RAMPro will automatically empty out the freed space for you.

  • Sonic4.info

    - Present

    We created a blog using Wordpress that would collate and automatically post content about the upcoming Sonic 4 game. Although we used it as a one-stop-solution to finding out the news, rather than trawling through site-upon-site, we also used it as a platform for testing SEO techniques and optimisations.
