My new car came with 90 day trial version of Sirius XM Radio. There are two problems.

(1) You can't hear anything if there is a roof over your car.
(2) 240+ Channel ... Just too many and navigation is one channel at a time.

I am keep going back to regular radio. I will connect my MP3 player when my trial subscription is over.

What have we learned?

What did we learn from this recession?

If you are too big to fail, you are too big to fail.
If you make money you are doing something illegal.
If you don’t make money, you are screwed.
If you outsource your production overseas, you are evil.
If you don’t outsource your production overseas, are stupid.
If you provide health care, you are screwed.
If you don’t have healthcare, someone will pay for it.
If you work hard, you pay more tax.
If you don’t work, taxpayers will pay you.
If you want to buy a house, it is too expensive.
If you want to sell a house, it is too cheap.

So, what have we learned?

Business as usual.

Have you ever heard of Heinrich's Law?

To leading up to a major incident (accident), there are 3000 unsafe actions, that lead to 300 near misses that lead to 29 minor accidents that lead to one major accident.

If you can eliminate 3000 unsafe conditions, you will be able to avoid major accident. Basically, there will not be any major accident if there is nothing leading up to that. So,, it is our mission not to have any unsafe conditions.

Web Hosting Company GoDaddy For Sale At $ 1 Billion Or More

GoDaddy is a web hosting company largely known for their domain registration services. In addition to web hosting, the company also indulges in the sales of domain names and domain space and domain registration on its servers. The company is a private holding of a former US Marine who intends to sell it away at a whopping price of $ 1 billion. While it is a huge price, the company actually makes great sales and profits would be soaring high too, supposedly.Bob Parsons, the owner of the company is an outspoken, extrovert man who seems to always find a way to be in the talks. Some of the advertisements of GoDaddy.com that are screened during the Super Bowl become major talking points and kids and young adults gossip about them for weeks. However, that doesn't mean the company is only good at making controversial commercials.

Anonymous reports say that last year this company has made sales of about three quarters of $ 1 billion. GoDaddy was a talking point in Wall Street for quite some time. Earlier this year, the company was tipped to be made public by the owner. However, that did not happen. Instead, Bob Parsons has invited private equity bids of over $ 1 billion on Wall Street recently.

Quatalyst Partners seems to be showing keen interest in the Artizona based company on Wall Street. Quatalyst Partners is known for advising 3PAR on making investment decisions during the recent auction bids between HP and Dell. The owner, Frank Quattrone seems to have keen interest in cutting of this deal with GoDaddy.

Web Server Down

We had one of our web servers go down this evening.

Although we have alternate server setup at our HQ location, our server administrators decided to spend time looking for the problem before switching the service to alternate servers. Because of this foolishness, the service were down for 90 minuets. If we switched the service, it could have been less than 30 minuets.

This is the type of mistake we canno0t afford to make. I really hope they learned their lesson. I am mad as hell for this mistake. They need not only understand this by their head, they need to know it by heart.
