Can never get anybody in the US office.

Tuesday, September 27th, 2005

We have 2 main offices at Comodo, one in UK and one in US .. unfortunately we have a few people who always seem MIA in the US.

Every time I need to get a hold of Norm or Andrew they are MIA .. quite irritating.

Like today, got a server which needs to be shipped soon, trying to get the local Sysadmin to build it .. but as soon as we start talking he has to leave .. to leave where ? .. one never knows what these guys are working at.

Last month I sold a 3 server cluster which was to be shipped on a Monday, the following Wednesday I had been trying to contact Norm for over a week about the status of the servers, when i finally got him on the phone, i find that they had been given to another client who was in a hurry, leaving me stranded.

After allot of apologizing to the client, we shipped it the next day, but I let him (Norm) know this was unacceptable .. just need to make sure this doesn’t repeat with this order now :(

PayPal Site Mess

Tuesday, September 20th, 2005

Here is something one doesn’t see every day, as I try to access PayPal this morning, I got this nifty looking page…

(it seems I have lost the image, basically paypal CSS was not loading and messed up it’s design .. bummer)
Initially I tough maybe I had gotten into a physhing site, so i looked into the url I typed in .. no typos .. it was PayPal.com alright .. refresh a few times and it continued to display like that.

10 minutes later it was back to normal, but it was funky to see one of the largest sites on the web goof-off :)

Swines

Today I took on the task of cleaning the car .. the kids make a constant mess on the back, and there were papers, toys, fast-food wraps, everything on the back-seat floor and trunk.

Once I was done, I had a full trash-bag (and not a small one, but a big black bin liner) .. who the heck do you get a trash-bag full of crap form a back-seat.

Easy .. drive around with a 2 and a 3 year old :)

Once it was clean, washed and vacuumed it was new again, I love to look at a nice clean car .. hopefully it will be clear for more than 24 hours this time.
