what makes a good day great

Today has just been getting better and better…how so??
UPS brings me a shiny new touch pro.  mmmm.  as if there was any doubt I was a geek…
VOTED.  proud to be an American.  proud to have taken the time to understand all the propositions.  I voted responsibly – how about you?
New client today.  Good size, good revenue for [...]

selling on a dare

oh man, I love my job sometimes.
been working on a small deal for almost a month, back and forth, again and again.  client is typical smb, no ethics and needs everything cheap.  what do i mean by no ethics, he took my ENTIRE proposal and sent it out for competitive bids.  lovely.  one ‘consultant’ was acutally stupid [...]

not for everyone

While hosted services are not for everyone yet, they are for a lot of people – even those eyeing a shiny new sBS box.  Any platform that gets its call in support axed for call back support is hurting – and that is what happened to sBS.  in a nutshell, without a support contract and you are [...]

does SBS 2008 matter? not a bit.

reflecting on all my sbs 2003 deployments, these sites are the suck.  I like to keep things pure, seems like whenever something is shoehorned, it becomes uncomfortable real fast – so no WSS3, exchange 2007 or the latest SQL.  may not be a big deal to most, but as office 2007 busts in, the pain is [...]

windows mobile 6.1 – biting the big one

man I’ve been slipping, the new windows mobile 6.1 ROM for the mogul dropped on Jul21st and I just got it today.  i resisted the leaked ‘official’ (whatever that means – I mean, if it leaked, hows it official) ROM because I just cant take the brick risk before the new touch pro comes out.
and [...]

the beginning of the end

until today.
i am now on twitter.  and what kicked me over the edge?  my defcon rss feed.  defcon is alot like other conferences in that scheduling and othe info is wrong before the press runs the [...]

turn it off

We all have clients that don’t pay – and most of the people I know in the technology biz who cater to the SMB are the most lenient.  Invoices 120 days out, hardware on “loan” – If the invoices are sent out, and ignored, TURN THAT SHIT OFF!  And I’ve heard every reason for not [...]
