Business Opportunity

3月

15日

There are many places people are asked TEXT something to somewhere to get something back. And like this sign says, you will be charged for texting.

You can replace almost anything TEXTing can do with the QR Code. When you use the QR Code, you will not be charged if you have a data plan.

I think there is a business opportunity here!

The term "QR Code" is a registered trademark of DENSO WAVE INCORPORATED.

Daylight Saving Hour Started Today

Why do we even care ... why don't we just keep the time. Why do we even change the time back to standard time?

We are not living in the farming community anymore. There is no reason for the daylight saving,

Open Source ... You get what you pay for

3月

You know the term Open Source. The software that is available with the source code and the free license to use it.

There are several things you need to know about Open Source software.

(1) There is no support or guarantee
(2) Better version of software is not usually free
(3) If you fix it and you are on your own
(4) If you have someone develop Web site using Open Source software, the system will not be free.

You get what you pay for. I am a fun of Open Source software. It is a great source for an individual to learn and develop Web site with. But when it comes to professional work, I rather build it myself from the scratch.

Carbon Foot Print of Servers

3月

11日

Each server uses approximately 0.5kWh (kilo Watts per Hour). Each kWh generates 1.297 lbs of CO2 according to http://www.carbonfund.org.

PSPINC hosts Web and Email using about 400 servers for about 37,000 companies both in the USA and Japan. We are emitting about 260lbs of CO2 every hour. If you compare that to if each 37,000 companies having their own servers, it would have been almost 48,000lbs every hour. That is more than 420,000 tons of CO2 per year. That is about 900,000 trees per year compared to 9,600 trees.

PSPINC is dedicated to using clean energy for its power source and striving very hard to reduce its carbon footprint by creating a software that require less hardware.

NOTE: Easiest ways to calculate is ... Every year a server require about 24 trees to recover its carbon foot print. WOW, that is a lot.
