On Monday 16 March, PaperCut offices shifted to a “Distributed Working” model. Yep, these very words were typed from the comfort of my home office.

One of the things helping us hold it together is remembering our company values and bringing them to the forefront of our new daily routine.

Recently, I had the honor of speaking at the meetup for the Educational Technology Consortium of Victoria.

My topic of choice? How we, Australians, could put the “I” back in IT through Innovating, Involving, and Influencing.

And I’d love to get it on your mind for the next five minutes.

This isn’t the typical PaperCut post that gives you a bunch of tips or how-tos about print management or anything like that.

We made this short film, you see, and I really wanted to share it with you.

Let me know what you think.

Ah, Earth Day. The one day of the year people across the globe are guaranteed to be more motivated to recycle their plastic water bottle or pick up neighborhood trash.

And why wouldn’t they? Every day, we make a lasting impact on our environment. Unfortunately, it’s not always a positive impact.

Australian’s are a hardy bunch, a great nation built on the foundations of our vast land and abundant resources; our national anthem adds to the narrative of our golden soil and wealth for toil. As a nation we are now more aware than ever that our mineral and farming resources alone cannot sustain us as […]

This is a short behind-the-scenes blog post about our new Live Demo. We’ve always striven to minimize the barrier-to-entry to adopting PaperCut. We’ve worked hard since day one (1999) to offer an application that’s easy to install and to evaluate (direct downloads, unlimited feature trials, full support during trial). However there has always been one […]

Warning to regular readers – this post is “Geek Factor 10” At PaperCut we use continuous integration to monitor the quality of our codebase. It doesn’t happen often, but occasionally someone makes a mistake and the build gets broken. It’s important this is detected and rectified early so other members of the dev team are […]

With the release of iOS 4.2, finally Apple iPads and iPhones can print! Of course the this possibility opens up many questions, particularly from network administrators managing printing in schools, colleges and Universities. How do I control AirPrint printing and prevent a student free-for-all? It’s been such a popular question and hot topic on our […]

Writing blog posts is hard for us “computer geeks” in the PaperCut development team. We’re able to string together lines of source code like we’ve been doing it since we were born, but asking us to join enough English words into sentences and paragraphs to construct a blog post… now that’s a different story.
