Things

Haven’t updated in a while … I’ve been pretty busy I guess … many changes happening … The major thing is that Weekend at Bernie’s is breaking up. Therefor, I no longer have a job doing sound for bands … I don’t really know yet what sort of ways this will impact me … There have been some other offers and suggestions of what I should do, but I’m not entirely sure which way to go …

A new version of Counter-Strike and the HLDS dedicated server came out, so I have spent way too much time installing and configuring that … Of course, to test things that have changed, I go into the game and waste way too much time playing the game … It’s easy to get lost in the game itself as well as the company you keep with people from all over the country …

The web business is a big troubling as of late … Everybody wants something for nothing, and while I would agree with that myself, I have a hard time being the provider that demands a payment for services … There are so many different levels of what I feel are worthy of my fees, and then there are those that could hands down outweigh me simply due to the network they’re on. I mean face it, I have a T1 going into my house … What can I expect to demand from others coming into this blindly? While *I* know that I have a better uptime than hosting I’ve bought in the past, it’s the catch phrases that I don’t peddle … With all the machines and all the time I have invested in what I am doing, I have to re-evaluate the direction I take the hosting on, and in the process try not to lose anything I’ve established thus far … What makes this difficult that no matter what someone else may have to offer, I have to realize what I myself actually do offer, and not undersell myself … While some people may not agree with this, I guess at some point there has to be a line drawn … and it has to be clear and fair … To me, and to ‘them’ … *sigh*
