Shanti’s Dispatches

My cox high-speed Internet was down over the weekend.

Talk about several hundred dollars in lost opportunity cost of working on my projects.

Luckily the cable guy came out and got it back online… only $59.95 for a new cable modem. Apparently my Internet connection had been turned off too by a cox technician. (Anyone else think this sounds a little fishy?)

O’well, I was just happy to be back online!

In unrelated news, Ruby on Rails had a very special birthday today, reaching 1.0 baby!!!

I’ve also been looking for some extra help on Niner Niner to help knock out changes to our various WordPress themes, etc.

I know that you get what you pay for… but when did $10 per hour become peanuts to do basic HTML work?

We’d love to pay $20 or $25 an hour, but what we need done just doesn’t warrant that kind of dough, even if we had it.

If you’re interested, or know of anyone, drop me a line at: shantibraford (at) gmail
