I have a client who does CNC machining, and often times the sizes of the design can clog his inbox.

He also wanted to increase the size of an email that could be transmitted, around 20 MB or so (the same as gmail).

They’re willing to pay for it! As with all things, though, I’d like to be able to customize it for them without having to go through a third party (ticketing system or live chat).

I have encountered similar sort of situations with drafting/engineering companies before and ended up with a dropbox type solution. You probably already considered that though. Bigger mail file size would be good. 20mb is what gmail allows i think too though.

I know it seems crazy, but I like to prepay bills to be sure they’re paid because, frankly, who knows what’s going to be going on with my debit card.

I’m sure most of your customers are companies where this is never a problem, and Rackspace has ALWAYS been cool about waiting two days, but being able to carry a small credit balance would be sweet.

Has anyone had any experience using Silverline? https://silverline.librato.com/

I’m thinking about using it but wondered if anyone here has used it or has any thoughts about it.

Also if you know of an alternative that would be interesting to look into as well.

We’re trying to identify processes that are causing the server to crash intermittently, this might do that and keep them under control.

美国/美国人民的梦想是外太空和人类文明的极致发展。看他们的电影就能知道他们在想些什么。70年代的《星球大战》暴露了他们的野心和梦想。这样超前的意识，天朝差了不知道多少个数量级啊。但攘外必先安内。美国首先要做的是统一全球于同一意识形态下——一步一个脚印，现在终于走到亚洲、中国跟前了。。。

中国几千年的内耗，毫无疑问，是非常巨大的。同理，人类文明这几千年的内耗，同样是巨大的。仅以近200年为例，如果这么多国家之间冷战、热战消耗的资源在统一调配下高效地用于和平发展，人类文明可能至少已经达到了地月系的程度。人类因外部事件而灭亡的概率因此降低。

美国在下一盘很大的棋。。。。。而我们可能只是他们宏伟计划中的一章而已。。。

可惜大部分父母都心胸狭窄（似乎和受教育程度无关），虽然物质上愿意无私奉献，但精神和心理上总是不由自主的倾向于否定和控制自己的小孩，以一己喜恶，规束小孩的行为，他们内心的天才终于被压抑了。。。。

现在回想小时的一些事情，发现家长（包括各种长辈）并不比我们成熟多少，他们也是人，他们也会嫉妒我们的进步和闪光点，不能容忍太耀眼的地方，批评我们的棱角，害怕失去威信，害怕道理讲不过我们，他们也会时不时在我们面前炫耀他们的能力，以此获得高高在上的权威感。。。。。成年人就算了，对小孩子这样，十几年如一日，必须成就一个庸才。。不比他们高明多少的庸才。

只希望懂这个道理的父母越来越多。

Hi Alexis,

A suggestion for you guys.

I contacted your support regarding the 4 IPs I’m endowed with after I have opened an account with you. They are all in the same C-Class which makes them useless with respect to SEO.

And SEO hosting is in. Search Google for "SEO hosting" and you would find plenty of providers providing VPS hosting with 10 – 100 different C-class IPs at the cost of no less than $5/m for each IP.
You should definitely do this, simply change your IPs to different C-Class IPs.

Instead of offering:

1.1.1.1
1.1.1.2
1.1.1.3
1.1.1.4

You should give us:

1.1.2.1
1.1.3.1
1.1.4.1
1.1.5.1

Not sure if I’m right on this but the point is all the IPs you give us should be in different C-Class. This is a very great selling point. Yet the support got back to me saying it’s not easy technically. I don’t think it’s any difficult to do this. Or is it?

I would very much like to see such a thing implemented on WiredTree and I would choose to host all my future websites with you. The only reason I have my $250 monthly hosting bills spread across 6 different hosts, is the IPs.

Think about it please.

Regards,
Yang

My experience with Rackspace has been absolutely terrible! I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone.

First of all, they promise you your own personal account manager but when I signed up it turned out the guy was only part-time. It seemed like he was only available for a couple of hours a week. They also claim to have "fanatical support" — I was not at all impressed. They may have support staff available 24/7, but their eagerness seems to fade if your problem takes more than five minutes to solve or requires anything more than rebooting the server. They can talk like real professionals but actions speak louder than words.

Second, I’m not real happy with their overzealous sales tactics either. I don’t doubt they have the best sales staff in the business, but once they get your signature they’ve got you locked into a contract that even Houdini couldn’t get out of! You’ll suffer for the next year or so watching your money be sucked into the black hole of cyberspace.

Third, if you get frustrated enough to try complaining to somebody with any authority, good luck there too. Everyone you talk to passes you on to somebody else, and nobody gives you an answer. If you try to use a support ticket you won’t get a response, nor will you be able to track your progress, or the lack thereof, because they don’t back anything up.

Be warned: if you’re going to use Rackspace be prepared for high blood pressure and lots of migraines!

这是从archive.org上抓回来的2006年12月写的一篇econguru.com首页介绍词。。。。哈哈，太有趣了！！

问：

现有一个公司，邀请我技术入股。我是做营销的。有没有这么一种机制，即如果我在一年内使公司的营业额提高50%，就给我10%的公司股份。如果我没有做到，就只给我1%？

答：

还有这种好事？不知道这个公司老板是怎么考虑到？
从实现路径上看，可以实现：
1、签订合作协议，将上述内容约束在协议内，注意约定好如何认定营业额提高50%，是签约金额还是收到帐金额，避免自己被圈进去；
2、同时签订股权转让协议，两份，约定老板将股权以一元价格转让给你。一份是10%的，另一份是1%的，在协议中说明根据那种情况，实行股权转让。注意签字时候不注明日期，待实现营业额后，再填写日期。
3、如果还能做到将工商变更手续资料准备齐全，那就更好！注意也不要填写日期。这样可以避免老板届时赖账，你可以直接拿着这些东西自己去工商变更即可！

啊，我睡不着觉
等不及天明
可以起来
但是我不会清醒
我可以纵声高歌
我想着白天
可以浑洒可以笑
可以神经大条
但我不会清醒

白天多么美好
夜晚太过漫长
支离破碎
的梦
和魇
浅浅地如此清晰
现实和梦境
翻来裹去
展转成丝
时间越来越慢
膀胱越来越敏感

啊我睡不着觉
啊我TM为什么这么困却睡不着觉
啊我TM到底为什么睡不着觉。。。。

哈哈哈哈。。。。

This is a message from Neil Patel, the legendary entrepreneur born in 1985 who’s making millions of dollars per year from his businesses. Very very insightful read.

Here’s another one by him: 3 Mistakes of Online Business Owners

And another one: How to get affiliate referrals?

Actually, just come here for the most recent mailing by him: KAVOIR BACKYARD ARTICLES

People often ask me how I’m able to get so much traffic to every business I own… how I’m able to find traffic sources where others can’t… and so on.

Let me begin to answer that with a question of my own:

On a scale of 1 – 10 (with 10 being “super crucial”), how important is traffic to your business success? Could you survive without traffic? Could you grow your business without growing your traffic?

Most people rate traffic a 10 — super crucial.

I, however, would give it a 7. It’s important, but not the most important element of my success.

Most people think the 3 components of a successful business are: traffic, conversion, and product. I disagree. These are 7′s on my scale.

So what are the 10′s?

Mindset, market understanding, and habits.

I realize this may be a disappointing answer. It sure isn’t sexy. But if you feel disgusted or this turns you off… then, I’m sorry, you probably aren’t going to succeed. If all you want is quick, tactical fixes, you should go look elsewhere.

This isn’t what most people want to hear. But I see it as my sworn duty to make you successful, even if I have to *force* you into it.

These 3 things are the reason I can get so much traffic. Once I mastered my mindset, market understanding, and habits… I could answer any traffic question I’ve ever faced. They are FAR more powerful than any single tactic like “get good anchor text” (though those are useful, too).

OK, let’s talk about mastering your mindset.

Most people right now believe traffic building is hard. You’re probably one of them. They believe this for 2 reasons:

Reason #1. They don’t have a systematic way to executing their strategies and tactics. They try one technique for a few days, then read a random blog post covering a different strategy and decide to switch to that. They have no guiding process. They don’t follow through. Instead, they half-ass a bunch of different stuff and as a result go nowhere.

Then they get depressed and give up.

Reason #2: all the mainstream blogs are telling you it’s hard to grow your traffic. They tell you to produce great content for weeks and weeks and weeks and then you might start to get somewhere.  (If I didn’t know any better, I’d believe that too.)

This belief is especially detrimental because if you think something is hard, you’re probably not going to give it much of a try.

OK. If either of these reasons resonate with you then the coming days will feel like a breath of fresh air…

… because I’m going to give you specific, step-by-step ways to grow your traffic. I’ve taken the hard thinking out of it.

I have a system that worked for me repeatedly across multiple businesses… so you don’t need to come up with your own solutions. You simply need to implement what I give you. (The knowledge you’ll receive is only a potential until you take action.)

I’m also going to show you how to think about your traffic… so you can come up with your own strategies.

And as this happens you’ll realize traffic building isn’t hard. As you’ll see, it’s actually quite easy.

All it takes is a little bit of intelligently applied effort.

I want to quickly touch on 3 more harmful beliefs and then destroy them.

(These are crucial. If you don’t believe, deep down, that you can achieve your traffic goals… then you won’t. That’s why we’re taking so much time to get our mindset right.)

1. Belief: you need all the paid tools you see out there.

Truth: You already have everything you need. The problem is you’ve been kept in the dark about what really works. (Since traffic is so crucial, most experts DON’T share their very best stuff. Why would they tell their competitors what is working?) I’m no longer in that game… so now I can share everything to set you right.

2. Belief: it takes a long time to build up traffic.

Truth: Actually, it doesn’t. The reason it takes *some* people a long time is they’re doing it wrong. They waste a bunch of time on the 3 Big Mistakes (which I’ll cover in a few days). With the rise of social sites, it’s never been easier to jump start your traffic. And it’s getting easier every day.

3. Belief: You need to be an “expert” to build a high-traffic site.

Truth: you just need to be a little better than the average person in your market. If you’re focused on your own learning, it’s easy to rise above average. People fail at promoting their content because they don’t believe in the content they’ve created and end up self-sabotaging themselves. If you aren’t confident in your topic area, spend the next few weeks reading and trying everything you can… then come back here and my methods will turn that knowledge into quality traffic.

OK this email has gotten pretty long. I realize you may not hear beliefs like these from many others… but then again, not many people can charge the consulting rates that I do

The point is, my main concern is giving you the keys to explosive growth. And the foundation to doing so is the belief you can.

Getting you to believe that is the hardest part of my job… which is why I opened your eyes to new possibilities today.

Now it’s time to deep-dive into my personal “traffic-getting” system.

Look for that tomorrow.

Neil

PS — actually, one more thing. A reader recently asked me why he should join my newsletter when he’s already reading traffic blogs. It’s a great question.

My thought on that initially took me back to math class. If you needed to learn calculus, would you do so by jumping around and studying random chapters?

No. You’d start at chapter 1 and work your way forward. Each chapter builds on the previous ones. You learn it systematically, step by step.

To me, learning from random blog posts is like jumping around the book. No blog out there starts you at Step 1 and walks you through becoming a master. Think about the last 3 articles you read. Did they build on each other in any way? I doubt it.

I created this newsletter to fix that… to finally provide entrepreneurs a systematic way to get lots of good traffic.

Plus, few other folks have the breadth or depth of my experience (not to toot my own horn, hehe). I’ve shown corporations as large as Viacom how to do this… and I’ve also helped the “little guy.” I built my website from scratch and now get 150,000 uniques every month.

And now I can pull from all those experiences to show you what works — and what doesn’t. So you’re going to learn from someone who not only “did it”… but also took the time to figure out how to teach it.

All I ask from you is — take action.

That’s what separates the A-list, well known sites from the forgotten ones.

So go back and review one more time the mindset you learned in this email. It’s far more important than any traffic-boosting strategy or tactic you could receive.

I’m teaching these to you first because I want you to succeed. These are my true secrets.

Now get ready for some SPECIFIC tactics coming your way tomorrow. There are 3 Big Mistakes you need to know about…

有位同学在BBS上发了一篇贴子，内容如下：

房子只是人的消费品之一，逃不出经济和市场调控的大规律。有一点必须坚信，房价不可能只涨不降，因为没有哪件商品只涨不降，但也不可能暴跌，不会也不应该跌破它实际的价值，包括地价、建造材料价加上税。

房子不像电子产品，比如十年前的一部座机电话要几千块，而现在爱疯才卖几千块，虽然它们可以算是他们那个时代最先进的通讯工具，是科技在进步。但房子的高科技含量没那么高，它本该值多少钱就值多少钱，刚需是重要，但房子也不断地在造不是么？事实是很多有先见之明的人已经通过房地产狠赚了一笔甚至几笔。人口高速增长的时代缓慢过去了，房子，会回归到它的理性水平的。

作为刚需人群，我是希望房价低到我认为合理的价位才会买，但是什么样的是合理的。我们，有时候必须为这个社会的发展成本买单。不是你，就是我。

心平气和，多提高自己的能力多赚钱多往高处爬才是王道，到时候你不会为这几十万的房价闹心，挥手就是一套，多爽！！

下面是我的回应：

关键是什么叫理性水平？现在是不是理性水平？如果不是，为什么不是？那多少才是？谁来定呢？该值多少钱就值多少。。这话等于没说，那到底该值多少钱呢？

房子的本质是土地。土地是最没科技含量的东西了，而且不可再生，这样一种东西该值多少钱呢？不要说土地其实很多，农村大片大片的土地，中国2/3的山地，但你们不是不愿意去么。好土地/地段永远都是稀缺的，这点没得跑。你又不想多花钱，还想拥有好地段。。。这个就说不过去了。

现在好多刚需可虚伪，老觉得先买房的、多买房的抬高了房价，剥削了他们，对他们不公平。口口声声说他们是刚需，而房子造出来是住的，应该只具备消费属性，不应该具备投资属性拿来炒。既然你只要消费属性，你租就是了，何必买呢？结果还是眼红房价上涨，在亲戚、朋友、丈母娘面前要面子，觉得“必须”有一套自己的房子——这已经不是消费需求了，你们想要的还是资产，而不是住处。

然后有刚需就嚷嚷，你是人，我也是人，富人是人，穷人也是人，凭什么你们就能有资产，而我们不能有？！这个问题，别说家宝，就是一百个镕基都解决不了，绝对的公平是不可能存在的，也是不经济的。最完美的情况，人类的财富分配不可能也不能平均，而应该和每个人对社会的贡献成正比。有的人生来聪明过人，有的坚毅过人，有的美丽过人，有的口才过人。。。这些都造成了最后财富分配不均。这是绝对正常的，人类社会要前进，也是绝对必要的。

所以有的人有房，有的人没房，这再正常不过了，这就是理性。

信用货币时代，只要货币发行机制不改，货币必然会持续增加。社会有用物品的积累很难跟上货币的积累。可交易的有用物品更难跟的上交易资金的增长。钱可以全部拿出来买东西，但并不是所有东西都可以拿来卖。一单位钱可以流动无数次，但物品特别是消费品肯定会有沉淀或损失，同一物品可交易部分极有可能会减少。

货币的流动性本质上远大于物品的流动性，也就是说，如果货币供应量没有收缩，流动性泛滥几乎是必然的。即使收缩，在个别商品门类上，还是会出现流动性泛滥。货币供应量收缩可能也意味着个人收入的降低，除非人口总量减少，而生产效率提高。
