The guys who work at those companies are crazy. They earn sales commissions. They dress in ‘business casual’ attire. Some of them might even wear suits! They’ll toss around fancy words like ‘monetizing’ and ‘ROI’. They attend hosting ‘conferences’.
They wear cologne.
Wearing cologne in the DreamHost office is grounds for a firing. Or at least […]

Ok seriously. Who has investigated web hosting services? How the hell did you pick one. There are soooo many, and the differences between them are often pretty subtle.

Ok, to expand on photo hosting options…
I am not sure I realized how cheap hosting can be. godaddy.com (and yes I know, there are a bajillion other options, it’s just a name that people recognize) will give 5GB space, 250GB transfer a month, my own domain name, email aliases up the wazoo, and more, for […]

Beauty and the Beast is done, it went well, but I am not auditioning for Guys and Dolls. To many demands on time. Helen and I want to start some ballroom lessons again, and I […]

3 injections. It took 3 injections to freeze my lower left mouth for a cavity fill, and I was still feeling twinges. My jaw hurts now, just from tensing in anticipation. We got through it, the worst that happened was just twinges and pinches, but I was on tender hooks in worry the whole time, […]
