104 Hours 23 Minutes

8日

I am not going to wait for 104 Hours 23 Minutes for Mac OS installation.

May 7th will be the first working day out of long holiday in Japan started on April 27th. This is called Golden Week holiday in Japan.

What is the significance of that to PSPINC in the US?

Well, for many people in Japan, this is the first day of work after 9 off days. That means on Monday we can expect as m,ugh as 10 times the email traffic as usual. This Monday puts more stress on our servers than any other days of the year.

Our server software is optimized enough so that it should have no problem, but just in case, we are standing by to act if there is something.

Home Made Video Recording System

We have purchased several HD Web Cam and placed around the company buildings to record what is going on into our servers. This is completely home made system. Cameras are very good deterrent against crime. Since we placed the cameras and housings around the property, we have seen no problem, not even people smoking around the buildings.

SPAM FILTERING

PSPINC is in the process of making the SPAM filtering more strict (to catch more SPAM). To do this, we are adjusting the threshold by 1% every week starting this week. We are asking our customers to report to us as soon as they start seeing false stamping of regular email as SPAM by our filtering system.

Thank you for using PSPINC as your email outsourcing company.

Free Server Monitoring and Recovery S/W

PSPINC started Web and Email hosting back in 1986 using Windows NT. Yes, we hosted everything using Windows NT. We still host Windows Servers, but we have developed a monitoring and automated recovery tool called "NT Reboot". Without it, Windows Servers are just not stable enough.

For the first time we are making "NT Reboot" available to public. Please check it out. Oh, we made it free too. If you wish to contribute to our team, we appreciate it. Here is the link.

Good Housekeeping

There are many web sites that has lots and lots of information. Some web sites have hundreds of pages that owner think it is important for their customer to know.

I am sorry to tell you, you can not be more wrong. If you need to give information to a customer, instead of making it on the web site, create a link for people to download eBook and PDF files. People will not spend hours reading your web site.

Besides, having too much information makes your web site very cluttered and complicated. You do want your audience to get the message as quickly and easily as possible. That will make it easier for the search site to rate you as well.

Phishing

4月

This email is not from American Express. This email is sent to get my information. From time to time, you receive email like this one. Do not click on them.

You must take a look at where email came from first. If it is not the domain name you trust, through it away. Also, if you click them and it open a browser, take a look at the domain name.

It is called phishing and you may receive this type of email from not only financial institutions, but hosting companies, shipping companies, logistics companies and government agencies like IRS. Be very careful.

Mailing Photos

Emailing photos few years ago was easy. Just attached the photos that you can't to send to the email and click send. But now, it is not that easy. For instance, I took this picture with Canon SLR and the original file size of this image is over 6MB. Imagine sending 10 of those pictures ... you cannot not do that with a regular email. You need a special program design to send large files.
