My cost centers

Please note:

If I am doing work for you, this will be important information to have. I am not 1 cost center. That is to say I have different billing rates depending on the work being done, and the hours are split out.

The cost centers are as follows:

  1. Web stuff - Including setup, maintenance and updates. Oh yea, email management falls into this category too.
  2. IT Stuff - Including setup, installation and configuration. This is on-site work for your network or PC’s.
  3. Podcast stuff - That stuff I keep separate so I make sure the money is going where it is supposed to go.

If I’m doing anything for you that is IT related and Web related, you will get separate bills with different rates. Please don’t think otherwise.

Thank you.

Oh yea, will someone please tell jSchwa to go to the doctor already?!?!?

Spam update - final

Wow. You spammers really let me down. Did all y’all take the month off to go to Disney world or something? Sheesh. I mean are you happy with 794? Seems pretty weak to me, especially when you consider it’s spread over 8 email addresses.

Get your head in the game! You are making me look bad!

Power outages

I hate them. They cause me much grief they do.

Here at the casa of db the power was out for about 30 minutes. Out, then a surge, then out. No damage to any of the electronics, but I had to complete restart my network, renew IP address and it caused all of my cookies to disappear. Great.

But, really, it’s not near as bad as when there is a power outage at the folk’s place. What a cluster fuck.

I’ve mentioned before the reservation system that they have in the motel I believe and it’s inability to work and play nice with Windows XP. The problem is not only with WinXP, but also with a few of the Win2K updates. There is only 1 work around, and that is to start the reservation system BEFORE the XP computers start.

So, when a network restart is required at the cove, 4 PC’s have to be turned off, 1 router and 2 switches have to be power cycled, 2 Win2K boxes have to be restarted then the 4 WinXP boxes turned back on.

Wouldn’t be so bad if they would just remember the right sequence. I get a call everytime for this. I finally typed it up for them and sent it over. Hopefully it gets printed and posted for all to see.

At least the power didn’t go out here today. Happened yesterday and the A/C took until midnight to get the inside temp of the house to 78. UGH.

Trying to come up with a domain name?

Just a quick hint.

Avoid using the words exchage or express after a word that ends in ‘S’. I’m just sayin’… (thanks jSchwa for the link)
