First off, the spam report: I got a note from an industry leader in managed hosting, as I’d mentioned the company he owns, or, at least, the company that he’s partly responsible for.
The personal note is nice, even if it is spam. The upside was that I know this particular executive, and he would probably answer a reply email. That’s a nice touch. The downside is that his demographic, what he’s pitching, matters not one little bit to me, my clientele, or 99.99% of the readers. I’ll have to take a pass on providing a lucrative “astrofish.net endorsed” link. But it was clever marketing. And if you are in the market for volume web-hosting, in a safe, secure, managed environment, hey, RackSpace does have a good rep. Plus the two guys running it? Seemed nice enough.
Secondly, did I mention that Lance Armstrong is a Virgo? With Jupiter at his back? He’s about to break that hex? With the time off-set from France? Might already be history by now.
Finally, at the movies. Kansas City Bomber, starring Raquel Welch. At the Alamo. Hosted by some roller derby group. I went for late pizza and a cheesy movie that’s not available on DVD, as far as I could determine. I think I read that someplace. I’m not sure that it’s a movie that needs to be remembered. As might be expected, the show before the show was possibly more interesting. But I must applaud the Alamo Drafthouse, once again, for excellent – if way off-beat – entertainment. Plus good pizza. With some movies, maybe the less said, the better.
