Tips❤️Hello, Crowdstack people! We migrated our community from Facebook at the end of last year and have been looking for creative ways to bring more of our Facebook following to our shiny new Hoop.la space. We came up with an interesting option! We implemented a chatbot for Facebook Messenger that allows us to automate correspondence with our fan base and offer them options based on keyword inputs. It's a great way to steer our Facebook audience into specific areas of the community based on their...

Blog Post CommentWell, James, if I *did* talk to her when we're alone, I wouldn't necessarily tell you. This plant is as old as my great-uncle. The story is that my great-uncle's grandmother sent a clipping from HER Christmas cactus to her daughter, on the day he was born. She rooted it, and this is the result. When my great-aunt died, my great-uncle had my parents drive it home from Coeur d'Alene (that was about 13 years ago, I think), and I've had her ever since. I'm the one who named her.

Blog Post CommentThanks for your comments, James. I don't disagree that Facebook has potential to serve a purpose for keeping in touch. My experience has been that while it has that potential, it doesn't typically play out in practice. I typically have used email/IM for those types of "light" contact, instead. I think that Hoop.la has a lot of the tools that are needed to enable networking and community in an effective way. If you haven't already, I'd recommend you check it out (you can set up a free site to...

Blog Post CommentRaid is an interesting technology. Companies that sell hard drives often use this technology. I wonder if they have to license it in order to avoid patent litigation . Do you guys know how this works?

Blog Post CommentYes, for those who don't know, Don's been with us since the putting-together-furniture days. We were discussing the new equipment in our Monday meeting, and I said, "we should blog about that!" So we enticed Don out of the cave...er...his office and asked him to tell everyone about it. Thanks for a great explanation, Don, feel free to blog any time!

Blog Post CommentGreat blog Don... if I understood any of it! But to make it something I might understand then. A RAID is like an old vinyl record? You might only play one track a lot and whilst the part you play disintegrates, the rest of the record would perform fine if you could be bothered to move the tracks on? So your SSD drive spreads the wear and tear out across the disc without seemingly taking any time to reach or store stuff and thus making all tracks available at one click? Thereby extending the...

Blog Post CommentThink of RAID this way: You have a 3 disk drive RAID array. Using your vinyl record example, we'll consider each vinyl record on it's own LP player as a disk drive. Now our records can only be played at single speed, i.e.: audio speed. That's what we call the RPM, or the speed of the spindle. This means for a 6 minute song, if we stored it on one of our records, it would take us 6 minutes to listen to the entire song. It is not possible for us to play it any faster. The limitation of our...

Blog Post CommentGreat blog, Don. Exciting stuff, for sure. Will these drives be used on hosting machines or LiveCloud?

Blog Post CommentStand well back, Rosemary and Lori! Don! Your additional description made it all largely comprehensible to me! And that is no mean feat! Bravo! Give the guy a raise!

Blog Post CommentGreetings Steven: Everywhere and anywhere that we would have been using 6-8+ disk arrays for performance -- you can kiss the notion of a JBOD good bye. Our latest hardware addition, however, will be for some recent Enterprise customers. Greetings Xochiquetzal: Fantastic! I enjoy explaining technology, but haven't had much opportunity since leaving college; used to drive a white board after classes -- frequently, others would join for a sort of informal brown bag (but without the lunch). It...

Blog Post CommentHey Danny! I just thought I'd pipe in on this as I got the email notification that you'd responded. The video is before I had set up premium memberships and more focuses on things that I had learned about bringing new members to the site in only a couple of months and keeping them engaged. I've since set it up and do have maybe 5 paying members currently (at the standard annual rate) but I really operate the site for the love of sharing my interests with others and learning from one another...
