Twitter is down. It is not cool but as a another company who operates data center and hundreds of servers, we really understand what they must be going through.

Recently, I have noticed that twitter is being run over by the people who claim to get you bigger traffic by posting porn picture. They must be having hell of a time fighting with those abuse the system. All I can say is "GOOD LUCK!"

Tank Less Water Heater

Recently, people here in America are given an option to purchase and install tank-less water heater. But most of homes still use water heater with tank. It is still very new in Japan.

In Japan, I have never seen a house with tanked water heater. So, this is a picture from my parents home in Japan. They have tank-less water heater. It works great. I would like to have tank-less units in my house. However, we just upgraded our heater and duct this year to better than 95% efficiency one. So, the water heater must wait until next year.

BLOG STRATEGY

Making blog work for your business. Like any other web services, you need to spend time and put in some effort. You need to update your blog. People will not come to the web site that is not updated, so as your blog.

The amount of time that you need to spend has the direct relationship to how many people will visit your web site. Nothing will happen over night. But you need to work at it. Just because you will not get any response, do not quit.

SAS 70 Audit Completed

6月

13日

Web hosting and Internet solutions provider Pacific Software Publishing (www.pspinc.com) has successfully completed a Statement on Auditing Standards No. 70 (SAS 70) Type 1 Audit of its controls and processes, assuring customers their data is secure, based on specific standards.

According to PSP's Wednesday announcement, the successful audit demonstrates the company's commitment to server monitoring and security, and support service practices by an independent auditing firm.
Developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, SAS 70 is the part of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that concerns data center operations and internal controls. While the Sarbanes-Oxley act was originally intended for the financial services industry (in response to a number of major corporate and accounting scandals such as those affecting Enron, Tyco International, WorldCom, and others), the SAS 70 element of it has become known as a high standard for evaluating outsourced data center solutions.

Founded in 1987 and based in Bellevue, Washington, PSP is currently one of the largest hosting companies for Japanese corporate domains. Its completion of the SAS 70 Type 1 audit provides assurance for customers both in the US and Japanese markets.

"We are proud of our successful completion of the SAS 70 Type 1 Audit," PSP president Ken Uchikura said in a statement. "We are committed to providing quality services to our customers and requested this audit to make sure that the objectives for the controls and processes we developed at PSP, Inc. follows specific standards. We are extremely pleased with our achievement."

No more Firefox

6月

12日

At PSPINC, we have banned the use of Firefox browser. We now asked everyone in Research and Development and Web Design to use Internet Explorer as their browser. There are people who hate this change. But it was necessary when some of the products that we have developed worked fine on Firefox and not on IE.

Firefox might be more flexible, but we must consider the market size of the browsers. So we have decided to ban the use of Firefox and asked everyone to uninstall it from the computer.

Now everyone is using IE except me.

No, I am not using Firefox. I uninstalled it from my Mac. There is no IE for Mac, so I am now using Safari. It is not too bad. It actually works very much like Firefox. Now, there is no more excuse saying, It worked on Firefox.
