GRUB error 16
Fri, 05/02/2008 - 18:07 — Alexis WilkeToday I had a problem with one of our computers. It did not want to boot. The boot loader is called GRUB. Most Linux distributions now use GRUB which is much more advanced than LILO and some other boot loaders.
GRUB is great for several reasons:
Order Made!® has its own website
Tue, 04/29/2008 - 16:43 — Alexis WilkeAfter a couple of months, we finally released the Order Made! website.
Order Made! is an online system for ordering food from restaurants. This isn’t new, others have done it before, however, Order Made! uses our Instant Cart technology. This means: it is very fast! So fast, that customers will return to the ordering page over and over again. All the better for the restaurant owners using Order Made!
And it is not just fast, it is also very easy to use. Customers can order an item by clicking on it. Voilà! For the few items that require you to select a specific ingredient ...
Metrics. Why are they needed?
Fri, 04/11/2008 - 13:35 — Alexis WilkeWhen managing your life, when managing your work, when managing your business, you need to accomplish a certain amount of work to get where you want to go.
In general, it is difficult to judge how much work will be necessary to do one thing or another until you actually do it. So you setup goals and draw up plans to reach them and then you try to do all the work you assigned yourself to reach these goals.
One reason an Internet Business has an advantage is because the computer can do a lot of the work for you. It can give you information on how many people come to your website every week, ...
Really… What is a goal?
Wed, 03/26/2008 - 16:06 — Alexis WilkeI’m writing this blog after meeting with a few people with great experience at the NCAE networking group in Roseville.
I have been in business for quite some time now and I have read many things about goals. But what is a goal? How do you set a goal? How do you make sure that you reach your goals?
So, let’s start by setting a goal.
“I want a home worth $1.2 million dollars”
Ah! Is that really a goal?
The truth is that this is so blurry that it cannot be a realistic goal, at least not for most people. This does not mean you won’t be able to get the home of ...

Microsoft: Vista Worries Cause Businesses to Consider Macs and Linux
Wed, 12/05/2007 - 17:52 — Doug Barbieri
Eweek reports:
“A recent survey shows that 44 percent of businesses are considering Mac OS and Linux rather than switching to Vista.”
We are seeing the barbarians at the gate now, and the MS empire begins to show its first signs of crumbling. And it’s been a long time coming, I’m afraid. It goes to show you how ineffective the US anti-trust laws are, and how the free market is self-regulating.
It seems that Microsoft is very out of touch of what their customers really want, and is full steam ahead using its outdated business model of forced upgrading. Looks ...

Server Switch!
Fri, 11/23/2007 - 17:58 — Alexis Wilke
For the last few days, Doug and I have been working on switching from our old server to our new server. The new one is with JohnCompanies.com that offers VPS (Virtual Private Servers). It was a nice surprise, the computer we have access to has 8 processors running at 3Ghz (”proven” by the Linux Bogomips computation: 5985.31) And so far, I’ve seen about 0.8% of one processor being used. The rest is 100% idle most of the time!
