...like working longer hours, and weekends, more often than I ever have in life at a time when there is supposed to be so little business activity out there to speak of. Then again, perhaps that is precisely why this has required so much time and effort. Maybe all of it would be a whole lot easier if we weren't trolling the economic depths on a global scale right now.
Our efforts to build a first class web hosting service continues apace. It's what Roy and I decided to turn to when the product testing gig collided headfirst with everyone's decision to rein in all new projects spending and almost universally decided against putting new products on the market.
We will be offering a full range of Web hosting services, including domain name registration, shared Web site hosting, private game server hosting, application hosting, virtual private servers, dedicated hosting and fully managed outsourced technology solutions. We are offering a completely green, fiber optic bandwidth, solar-powered hosting solution with a 100% guarantee of up time (gulp).
Three of the servers I built are already up and running. Two more to go once I finally feel like looking at a Tyan motherboard again. I swear this is mind numbing work and if I break another goddam nail I'm going to scream. Maybe I should just file them down to nothing for the duration.
I promise to write more later, perhaps this weekend.
Game-wise, we've had little time for anything. I've been on CoX exactly once in the last few weeks and then only to apply my 42-month vet reward to a few of my toons. Roy made 80 on his Night Elf Priest and has been flying me around the new continent of Northrend, which is about all I can manage before I start falling asleep on his shoulder.
Roy and I have decided to take Julian to SXSW 2009, the South by Southwest Music and Media Conference in Austin, Texas, to give ourselves a little break. We're really looking forward to it.
