    WeLoveServers Sold to HostWinds

    Was not aware of the hype business in a box selling conduct. I was aware of all the super cheap annual buy in packages that were being sold.  This is not the time or place to argue about this ,however. we did not perform a hostile takeover. The founder and owner of the project messaged us...

    WeLoveServers Sold to HostWinds

    I just wanted to chime in and say, we have never used any service provider except for ourselves. We have exclusively used our own IP space since 2011, so this would not have been one of our dedicated servers. IT could have been a server of a company we acquired, however if it was on the 15th...

    So, let's clear the air...

    I was wondering what was happening with K-Marts. We don't have them much around NE Oklahoma but I have seen a few. Mostly just Walmart's crowding the area to keep all other companies out. Not a bad corporate plan but it does become annoying after a bit. I agree though, Paying off your debt is...

    What's for Lunch?

    I'm a little bit embarrassed by my convenience store lunch after hearing about all of y'alls lunches. I had some microwaveable shelf stable meatloaf and mashed potatoes with a fruit smoothie and a side of regret.   :mellow:

    You think your work at home job equals isolation, how about whole town in one building?

    That is awesome! I would love having things nearby. I like to hear about how other people live and find it fascinating since how I live is very typical.I'm going to look into it more when I get home tonight!

    So much to do!

    Wrike has been helpful to me. You can assign tasks, check them off when done, etc. Pretty easy to use! But I always have a backup notepad on deck in case I'm away from my computer.

    You're all doing it wrong.

    Great post! I think your emphasis on waiting to respond to obnoxious tickets is important. Customer service is extra important when you're a company providing a service online. The customers can't see you, so they may behave differently than say, if a washer repairman was in their home. It's...
