I got a CloudAtCost server, a pretty big one (quad core, 4GB) that I get to play with. That should be cool.

Had a great time. Had two beers and then walked to Custom Burger. Got a salmon burger and onion rings and just got back to my hotel room where I am about to eat them.

Yup, that's really what it is. I've been calling it that for months.

ML is Twitter....

Watching the offices next door to ours move out in preparation of us expanding into them. We are at more then capacity now this expansion will add 10-15 offices. It must be slow at our other neighbors... two of their sales guys are now outside shoveling the sidewalks.

@MattSpeller Find it interesting that it is a 17 port Hub... I've seen 8 and 16s... not a 17.

@thanksaj - Yea,.. sleep would be good...

@scottalanmiller CloudAtCost looks interesting.. Since I don't develop anything... not sure if it's useful for me.
Completed you first ticket - Awesome.

Just about to get the truck.. general maintenance and such. Trying to take all the notes and such I have and form them into a structured document for the office. Passwords, IP address, UserIDs and such. Just in case I get hit by a bus... Oh - We have 30 or so buses (max passenger 28 persons).

Review the close down procedure since I got called at 9pm EST last night on an alarm trip. Turns out to be just as I expected - the basement door didn't get properly latched. It's an old steel door, when the wind velocity is high enough it creates higher pressure inside the building pushing the door open.. ever so slightly. The fix was a $2.00 slide toggle, which wasn't engaged last night.

$280 one time fee for it? Really not a bad price.

This seems to good to be true.. how do they pay for long term bandwidth?

Not at all. I am really intrigued. I will be playing with my first one probably over the weekend. I am pretty excited.

Investing. If you put enough money into an investment account up front, you can pay your bills long term. For example, if you have enough money to buy a house, let's say $100K and you want a house of exactly that amount, you could put that same money into a good index fund and pay your mortgage, month over month, just from the interest. That's the model that they are using. Pay up front and the cost of bandwidth, hosting, CPU, storage, etc. decreases over time. Between new customers and investment dollars, they, in theory, can pay for the old systems that have been paid for in perpetuity pretty easily. They eventually become almost free to maintain.
