Sometimes you come across people and customers who make you laugh, especially if you have been in this biz for a few years. This last week we have had "one of those". We suspended a nonpaying customer's site after being three months overdue (we are little lenient in this regard if they pay...

I had to look hard during a second view to realize that was a car in the middle, :-(

I'll get some up this spring after we do some cleanup... it has rained so much since we moved in that we haven't had a chance to do anything outside... The previous owners kind of let the yard go. The front doesn't look too bad but the back looks pretty rough with broken branches, a couple of...

I like it. It's way too big for us, really, but with the grandkids being here all the time it helps a lot because they have their own playroom, we have an office now that is well separated from that playroom, lol. You're right that relyng solely on the internet for your source of income would...

Anything is stressful at times, even if you love it as much as it sounds like you like being a network engineer. Hang in there... eventually IT will be hiring big again... don't know when but eventually... outsourcing is killing the field now but sooner or later, those big companies will figure...

yes, it would be but there are perks... with the income from the business we were able to afford a much nicer house than we would have with only our income, :-). We just bought our house in October 2004. We were able to save up the down payment faster and a better down payment for a better...

I wouldn't either, ian... it's just not safe to do... as you said, the internet is too fickle for that.

Yes it does, zkiller. It really does. Between taking care of kids, working on the business, and all the other demands on my time it seems like a neverending circle. But if you pace yourself and adapt to the demands in a realistic way, it can still be done... maybe not overnight or even this year...

I belong to a few writers' groups. This subject came up in one of those groups and I remembered some advice Ian had imparted here in another thread. This particular writing group is very active against bad publishers. There is a 238 page thread against one particular publisher who stands head...

I think ian knew who I was without the avatar. I didn't upload it right away, :p

Yes,that's what I meant. vaelor mentioned one of the businesses he had thought about was web hosting but didn't or tried it and it failed as welll... I'd have to read back to remember that.

they worked for me, too, z as ian said the googlebot for adsense is quite different from the spider that indexes your site... I've had the mediapartners bot on mine for ages and still not indexed on google.

Okay, right off the bat, I see two problems. One is the forum hasn't quite reached critical mass yet... that's the number of members it takes to keep it from lying dormant on a day to day basis. The second is your home page. It says nothing about what the site is for. People see that, lots will...

vaelor... sorry... they didn't transfer any of the hosting posts from the old board... i'm pretty sure it was freewebs.com or free-webs.com. If I'm remembering right at all, the posters raving about it said the banner ads were not on their webpages but other parts like the ser control panels or...
