There was a server that ran in the back office of the restaurant which ran SQL Server 7.0 and we eschewed the built in replication infrastructure for a custom synchronization app, which talked to the database which powered the website. Designing for a touch screen was an interesting challenge and eerily familiar to the debates raging pre-iPhone launch. Technically it consisted of mini form factor touch screen PCs* that were running a custom VB app, which was placed at the hostess stand (is that a sexist term? what’s better?). It was 1998 or so and I worked for the consultancy ZEFER, the client was (long gone: Ebituaries)

Little known Corey professional trivia: I designed a (the first?) restaurant reservation system before Open Table existed. Five years ago, they had 1,000 restaurants to choose from, now they have 7,000. Now, they book two million every single month. (original Times story).ĭuring the company’s first three years, they booked a million diners (in total). The company has raised more than 20 million dollars to date.

It’s free to use and the restaurant pays a dollar per diner. Open Table is an online reservations service. Check out the demo video they have on the site, if you’ve ever dealt with this stuff before - it will rock your world.

I’ve been dealing and struggling with internal, external, hardware RAID, software RAID, systems for so long that having a box that was so automatic would be like waking from a 15 year-long nightmare. In other storage news, I’d already own one of these “storage robots” called Drobo if I had the extra cash. And Scott Hanselman uses it, so you know it has to be good. If I didn’t already have a FolderShare based setup at home, I’d be using the personal version there. Doing the math on what it costs someone to physically get to the computer room, rotate the tapes, take them to a safe location and deal with this and it becomes instantly clear which solution is cheaper. MozyPro (the business version), as of this post, costs $3.95 per server and $.50 per GB/month. MozyPro supports encryption, Exchange Server, SQL Server, open and locked files, automatic/continuous block level incremental backups! Helping out my dad’s company take over some IT related tasks today and this seems like such a no-brainer in 2007. While I haven’t signed the contract yet, and I can’t vouch first hand for the service, the online backup service Mozy wins over tape in every dimension imaginable. I’m going to go ahead and declare these things dead. The lesson for site builders and administrators here is: Make notifications and subscriptions (RSS + Email) an option everywhere imaginable and enable it early on. I gave it a good effort, but I had to look elsewhere and now I go to the forums at Runner’s World instead because they have a good notification options available. The net effect of this is you end up joining discussions, dropping some knowledge and then never coming back. The community there is pretty good, but the design of the system suffers from a major flaw:Īs a thread starter, you can get email subscriptions, but not if you reply. I began my search at, which is part of, which does a lot of race registrations.

Message boards are the standard solution for this type of community and they work pretty well in many cases. Published Jcommunity designĪs a tech startup builder, I’m intensely studying online communities - what makes good ones work, why do others fail.Īs a runner, I have insanely detailed questions and some geeky answers to share and I need an online community to fill that need. If you are going to run an operation that pretends to be core Internet infrastructure, you must be able to support it. But to ignore the issue for this long is inexcusable.įor now, I’ve had to set up an SMTP relay at another location and route mail through that, but there are problems with this set up too. I would have no problem if they had come back to me asking for some sort of proof that I run a legitimate server, I would have provided anything they asked. This is incredibly frustrating and completely out of line.

I emailed them last Thursday, got an automated response that they received my message and SIX DAYS LATER I still have no response. Technically they don’t do the blocking, they just put you on the list and all the servers that subscribe to that list will block you. Spamhaus decided to go and blacklist the entire IP range and now I can’t send email to hotmail, optonline, and countless other domains. It turns out that a few servers down from me in the datacenter a box was taken over by a spammer.

I’ve struggled with email spam heartily, so I know how much of a pain it can be.Īnd now, through no fault of my own other than choosing a tier-two co-location provider, I’m suffering at the hands of a well known blacklist provider called SpamHaus.
