Pre-Week Blog….

So busy busy as of late, of course really, when is it not with me? I had a good weekend though, got to hit a party, watch a flick with friends, goto church and eat pizza & wedges, I mean really - that’s a good weekend for me There was a hint of work this evening… of which should result in hopefully a large check no later than Friday… but more on that in a second.

FH/TN news - this week the new mail servers should go online, going to be shelling out some cash to get some dedicated mail servers online and operational - the plan is to really help take some of the load from spam and email from the webservers and really let them do their job when it comes to serving sites & applications, load should drop a TON, so I can fit a few more folks per server vs. buying lots of new servers - does add a minor layer of complexity to configuration, but if I can wing some API magic, who knows - I may be able to write a simple interface from cPanel -> API to deploy accounts in a more native setting.

The check bit above is of course about the never end saga of clients and lack of payment, one is over $1000 overdue - no calls, no nothing, just never sends in a check, or has given me a working card, another one is 1 day late, and they used to be the one I worried about the most, but they’ll have the card fixed by end of the work day tomorrow (or at least that’s how they have been doing it lately when their card messes up) but it just is becoming a normal occurrence in this case, usually 1 month behind, now 2…. and I am out the cash as I am paying for hardware for this “ol friend” but sadly with my own expansion and such I can’t start floating an entire hosting business for 2 months… so boundaries must be set.

Anywhoo - not going to let that ruin my entire weekend, if I don’t hear from him tomorrow, I’ll figure something out - but for now bed time is here, earlier than usual, but I want to get some time to unwind and fully zonk out no later than 1am, and if I start now… I might make it so have a great week this week folks!
