Microsoft Office Live is Ending

4月

22日

Microsoft Office Live is ending at the end of this month and all are asked to migrate to Microsoft Office 365. We are working this Saturday to migrate one customer from Microsoft Office Live to our email hosting service. This customer decided they do not need Microsoft Office 365. Unfortunate for Microsoft, this is not the only customer indicated to leave Microsoft.

It is unbelievable for us to shut down the service that has many customers. But then again, Microsoft Office Live or 365 are not Microsoft's main focus. They should keep Microsoft Office Live and slowly migrate them to Microsoft Office 365.

New Email Server Performance

4月

21日

We have not seen any email delay for a week now. We were able to reduce CPU usage by 70% by tuning up software thus making mail processing faster. The graph above shows the CPU usage for 24 hours (4/18 3:36 pm – 4/19 3:33 pm).

Legend: Red line: number of access user
Black line: Database CPU usage
Green line: IMAP/POP Mail Server CPU Usage
Pink line: Machine CPU Usage

You can see the server is running much more stable when it comes to CPU usage. We are still working to make processes even faster.

Seattle is not a place to live if you...

Seattle is not a place to live if you have to travel to Japan. This is a comparison of the wire fairs that I may face when I fly business class to japan. My trip starts with Seattle to Tokyo, then I travel to Osaka, from there I fly back to Seattle. On business class, you can buy those two legs for $4800 in Seattle. If I were living in LA and to do the same trip from LA, I would be paying $3600. Whopping $1200 less.

What is with Seattle?

Where did our 800 number come from?

4月

17日

Our toll free number is 1-800-232-3989 and this is where it came from.

When we started Pacific Software Publishing, Inc. back in 1987, we were located in Mercer Island, Washington. The area code was 206 but the prefix for Mercer Island (I do not know now) was 232. The first phone number Pacific Software Publishing, Inc. got was 206-232-3989.

So when we got the 800 number, we made it a same number. So, that is where our 800 number came from. This is a picture of our lobby area. We have collection of computers starting from Apple IIe.
