Paul Baverey found on his trip to the UAE that our little site was blocked! He was doing some research on WooThemes (where we are Affiliated WooWorkers) and found that pronetindy.com was unavailable. I’m not sure how to feel about that really. Maybe some things are meant to be. Read Paul’s story here: http://www.paulbav.co.uk/uaeblock/

I have believed for a while that quality of life depends directly on the amount of risk you are willing to take. Part of a person’s risk tolerance must be genetic, but a portion of it is certainly choice. I took very little risk in my life until my late 20’s. Even since then, I’ve [...]

Sorry for the lack of updates, but August has been a busy month for us. A short list of what we’ve been up to this month: upgrading network infrastructures, new servers running Small Business Server 2008. Decommissioning old PC’s/memory and donating them. Working on network projects for various clients. Setting up new offices, network printer/scanners, [...]

I have spent over two hours on the phone with ATT Friday and today trying to get a simple DSL account provisioned at one of our client’s remote offices.  Everyone I talk to at ATT is very nice, except for their automated attendent who is incompetant and should be scrapped – the slightest background noise [...]

We’ve been approved by the Woo themes team to be Affiliated Woo Workers! What does that mean? Well, we’ve been customizing Woo Themes for our clients pretty much exclusively since 2008. Their code base is solid and their out of the box design is top notch! They often collaborate with top web designers in the [...]

Last week I was at a client’s office doing some good ol’ IT support – I ordered a new Dell laptop to replace a dead one and I upgraded the memory in another – and I stopped to chat with the owner. We were talking about the economy and how it’s affecting business and in [...]

Is the future of TV in doubt. Why pay for cable or the dish if you can watch all your shows online?

After about 4 weeks of procrastination, I finally got the pronetindy.com site up and operational. It really only took around 10 hours. There was plenty to do, moving all the applicable content over from the old site; creating a 301 redirects for all the old URL’s; formatting the text for the new theme; resizing images; [...]

I got an advanced copy of a CD that one of our clients has written and recorded.  I wasn’t overly excited to get it, as it is a children’s music CD.  I figured I would throw it into the car CD player to entertain my 3-year old while we were driving.  It is called “Wee-phabet [...]
