Dear restaurant owners ...

スレッド
Foods from Safeway Foods from Safeway
Dear restaurant owners,

My company is purchasing lunch for every employee who must work at PSPinc to maintain Web and Email services. I wanted to feed the people who are working hard and local restaurants. But it puzzles me that no restaurant I know is trying to come up with the special lunch items for people.

I know your business is hurting ... but so as everyone else. So, is it inconsiderate of me to ask for some contribution from the restaurant side as well. Why don't you come up with something different. I am just not talking about price only. I am talking about adding one side dish as a tank you. Even adding little note scything thank your supporting the restaurant.

Why is your website the same as before?
Tell people you are Open.

* Reduce the menu items.
* Reduce the price.
* Increase the service. Just say thanks more often.

After buying lunch for last three weeks from the local restaurants, we started buying cooked foods from the supermarket. I want to get back to buying lunch from the restaurants if they take care if us.

If you want to serve us lunch, contact me.

Ken Uchikura Newsletter Vol. 71 : Crisis

スレッド
Empty Street Empty Street

Crisis

Most of us, whether we like President Trump or not, are enjoying one of the best economic growth periods in history. However, because of the Coronavirus Pandemic, we are now in the middle of the biggest stock value loss we have ever seen. In addition, restaurants are closed, airlines are running empty or canceling and hotels are vacant. Needless to say, there will be a lot of people losing their jobs. I guess the logic is that losing a job is better than losing one’s life.

I have been a business owner since 1987. That means I have survived through the dot-com bust, the housing crisis, and 9/11. Locally we have survived the Seattle WTO protests, a datacenter flooding and the Fisher Plaza electrical fire. Even more frequently, we have survived hackings, DOS attacks, virus attacks, and server breakdowns. When I look back, we are always dealing with some kind of crisis.

What did I learn? Here are few things that I keep in mind:

1. Do not make rush decisions and be prepared. I was not prepared for the Coronavirus Pandemic.
2. Reserve some cash. Having a rainy day fund makes it so you do not need to panic, it will buy you some time.
3. Communicate with your staff. You may not agree with many things but listen and try to understand. Also, many people have good ideas but do not know how to explain them.
4. Stay calm. If you panic, your entire company will panic. You are the captain of your ship … you should never show people you are sweating.
5. Always remember that a crisis will always end. You should start preparing for what to do when it is over. Keep your mind in better place.

Those are the things I think of whether we are in a crisis or not. I always think about “Murphy’s Law” and “Heinrich’s Law”. If you do not know what they are, you should look them up.

Remember, the Coronavirus crisis will be over someday, are you prepared for it?

This weekend, the CDC updated... This weekend, the CDC updated their recommendations to
include the use of masks and face coverings to help prevent
the spread of infection.

I am smiling ... Can you tell??

Use of Cloth Face Coverings to Help Slow the Spread of COVID-19!
CDC on Homemade Cloth Face Coverings


CDC recommends wearing cloth face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain (e.g., grocery stores and pharmacies), especially in areas of significant community-based transmission.

CDC also advises the use of simple cloth face coverings to slow the spread of the virus and help people who may have the virus and do not know it from transmitting it to others. Cloth face coverings fashioned from household items or made at home from common materials at low cost can be used as an additional, voluntary public health measure.

Cloth face coverings should not be placed on young children under age 2, anyone who has trouble breathing, or is unconscious, incapacitated or otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance.

The cloth face coverings recommended are not surgical masks or N-95 respirators. Those are critical supplies that must continue to be reserved for healthcare workers and other medical first responders, as recommended by current CDC guidance.

Essential Businesses

スレッド
I cannot think of a more essent... I cannot think of a more essential business than chocolate!
@FRAN'S OLD BELLEVUE
We provide Internet Web and Email services to many corporations through our datacenter located in Seattle, Washington. Because of that, we are categorized as an essential business / service. But even with that categorization, currently about 75% of people are working remotely for home.

There are many businesses run by may friends which are closed because they are not considered essential. As far as businesses are concern, there is not such thing as non-essential business. Regardless of the business type, when they are closed, they create huge amount void to our society. Not to mention the amount of jobs that are lost.

We often thank all the people who work at healthcare sectors fighting COVID-19, but we also have thank everybody trying to keep themselves health so that we do not overwhelm the medical system.

We are all in this together. Let's give everybody including ourselves a cheers. Good job everyone.

What is "A Machine Identification Code" ?

What is "A Machine Identificati...
Most of you do not know that your printer prints secret code to the printed paper.

What?

It is called "A Machine Identification Code" which prints date, time and printer serial number using tiny yellow dots almost invisible to your eyes. This is not something new. It has been going on since the beginning of printer to identify and authentic the printed document.

How do you use it?

Someone may present the document claiming the date of the document to be 2 years ago with your signature. With this "A Machine Identification Code", people can proof it was printed few weeks ago and the printer that you have no access of.

So next time you print something on the inkjet printer, take a close look and see if you can spot small yellow dots.

ps: What happen when you run out of yellow ink??? Hmmm

What Social Distancing ???

スレッド
1' is not Social Distance 1' is not Social Distance
One of the fact I heard that there are more COVID-19 infections in NY is the fact that people have to use subway and other public transportation system to move around. Looking at some of the pictures, it reminds me of rush hours in Japan.

Public Transportation is a good idea but when it comes to containing infections like COVID-19, it is not good. Here in Washington State, we are buliding light rail system. Is that a good idea?

I like rail system ... but I don't like the way they tricked people to pay more. We vote it down, but judge is still allowing them charge more. I really hate that part.
