I can’t bring myself to poke Hostway in the eye over the botched data center migration of Affinity Internet / ValueWeb / Gate.net, I’ve known too many great people from those companies. Instead, I’ll quote our marketing guy:

Silence is Never an Answer
31Jul07Screw This!
30Jul07Okay, time to put everything back together. I screwed the drives into the cage, screwed the cage into the case, but before I screwed the cover back onto the case, I turned on the computer just to make sure everything was still okay. A colleague of mine happened to stop by as I was doing […]
