random ramblings of a crazed nerd

Needless to say, I was excited to stay up past my “bedtime” so to speak, but I don’t really have a real bed time but I wanted to stay up as the first round of invoices ran tonight via the new system, and it went wonderfully! Only a single little glitch, but nothing that was a REAL show stopper, but it got things rolling good.

My long term plan is to phase out the old billing system overall, but I love the PDF option, great for printing, great for customers - so I am very excited and hope to have all customers migrated over by month’s end if at all possible - but for TN I hope to have it’s migration and activation setup and running by Friday, only a few customers migrated to Digital Billing, but with this I hope to make the push for all customers lingering on Check -> Credit Card.

All in all my hope is to get things all rolling sales wise again, I have been fighting burn out for a while - this job can be unforgiving, while I love to serve customers, not all respect it, and I think in the time fighting against burning out on this job, I have come to realize and respect that not all customers see my service as “above and beyond” and that’s fine, but I look at customers who have been with me for several years and know that it is customers like that who keep me sane!

I do hope that over the next few weeks money will level out, and I can get things going - I do hope that by the end of the year to be seriously looking at this nice 2 bedroom apartment, granted I could probably swing for a single, but honestly, I want 2 rooms so I can have a office and secondly a place to sleep - so I can really have a spot to simply “walk away” from and not have squish everything into one spot - so my hope is things continue to progress forward, and with the addition of Exchange Hosting here in the next few days, I hope to pick up some more clients, plus I am finishing up some tweaks to offer my DSPAM interface I wrote in PHP to manage users on the filter per-account holder who’d have access to all domains they have paid for, just a few more tweaks in the PHP and I’ll be good to go.

Anywhoo, thats all I have! Going to go find me a light snack, and then setup a plan for tomorrow, mainly the move to get folks ready to move on over to the new billing + continue writing content for TN. Good times. Have a Good Week folks!
