  • Should Customer Service Be Better Through Social Media?

    So a month ago, I ordered a laptop for my second boss, and had issues with the order. They cancelled the order on me, and I was so infuriated that I couldn’t even manage to continue working on ordering it. How could a company not take my money because of a small issue with the Read more

  • WordPress.com Password Reset Request

    I’ve had my WordPress.com account since the service started years ago, and I’ve gotten over two dozen e-mail since then incorrectly trying to reset my password, as many people would like to have the sub-domain I have that originally came with my account. I’ve even received comments on the “dead” blog asking me to relinquish Read more

  • I’m Looking For That Perfect Job

    Copied from my site, BrandingDavid.com All of my work both online and off over the last six years have taught me a great deal about what I want out of a career. I’ve learned that money isn’t a true driving factor for me and that I want a job that provides me with a strong Read more

  • Headphones at Work

    Moving into the new office has basically meant that the only person with a real office is the CEO, and everyone else is in a shared space. I have some walls up that help reduce the noise, but there’s no door, and so I can hear everything happening outside of my area, and they can Read more

  • I Wonder…

    I wonder if I could still make a “top 30” Internet marketing blog according to the list on Winning the Web? XFEP.com, a site I used to own and operate made it from nothing to being one of the top fifty on various lists, and I enjoyed competing in such a saturated niche without being Read more

  • Co-worker Computer Frustration

    A co-worker’s computer worked before we moved offices and now it randomly shuts off. I’m at a complete loss on figuring out exactly what’s wrong. I replaced the RAM, same issue. Reseated the cables, still not working. Computer isn’t overheating as everything is cool to the touch. When computer shuts off, all the fans turn Read more

  • New Camera Accessories Ordered

    So yesterday, I was feeling super down, and got thinking about photography, the only thing that seems to hold my interest and make me feel better. I decided that I wanted to look on eBay to see what inexpensive things they had that I could add into my kit. My primary goal was to look Read more

  • Minecraft Update

    So my cousin and I are still playing Minecraft, and in order to facilitate a better gameplay experience, I decided to convert my VPS into a dedicated MineCraft server. This means that it is no longer hosted on my cousin’s computer. Secondly, I decided that we should start anew. My cousin didn’t want to give Read more

  • Office Move This Week

    I’m in the middle of a hellish week. There is so much to do regularly, and on top of that I’ve had IT emergencies I’ve had to deal with. Unfortunately, to make matters worse, our office is moving this week. On Thursday, I’ll go from being able to walk to work each day, to having Read more

  • Firefly From Start to Finish

    This past weekend, I also got to go to Barry’s again. It was nice to see him again. Hanging out with him feels like being home with family and I’m not afraid to admit that I was bummed when I had to leave. While there, I got to play another round of Battlefleet Gothic, a Read more
