I also agree. I've been with them for 10+ years and only had 2 or 3 issues which were solved in a few hours. Great support and an excellent company.
I remember a similar styled ad notification about a year ago for the cr-48 test in chrome & chromium dev channels.
"If you're going through hell, keep going." First of all, congrats on getting this far. As you know, your consulting biz is a straight services play and will only grow in relation to how many employees you have.…
Some tnooz coverage[1] hit my inbox which answered my question. I love the idea of room concierge and hope you guys can increase the granted request rate. Best of luck. [1]…
Great work! Could you talk more about your room concierge service? Are you automating the request procedure or does the room concierge team contact the hotels? I'm curious what the process looks like from the hotel…

sorry, i've hardcoded biz apis and can't release it without lots of sanitization. the rescuetime aspect of it is really simple though! they have a decent api and nice js embeddable widgets.
rescuetime. I put together a simple chrome extension which hijacks the newtab page and shows a biz dashboard + personal rescuetime stats/graphs. nothing gets you back to work harder than seeing that today was only 50%…
task.io expires later this month. maybe send an email to the current owner or backorder it?
Not a myth. It happened a few years ago to me for several (totally random) domains. Since then I've also changed to checking from the CLI.
Seminars about long-term thinking: http://longnow.org/seminars/ An incredible series of talks & discussions. The scope of topics covered is akin to TEDtalks. I recommend downloading the entire catalog. edit: itunes…
