Welcome to the Official Launch of the Unofficial Official Blog™ of Pick // Internet Services—The Saltmine Chronicles!

I'll be your host and the primary author of this blog, which is bringing you a “behind the scenes” look at webhosting; an explaination of what exactly goes on around here as we sling bits across the Internet. The other intent is to present a more human face to the company and by explaining what goes on here, you can, well, not appreciate what goes on here, but at least understand what's happening and some of the difficulties that come up from time to time. I'll try to keep the technical discussions to a minimum, but if I feel I have to, I'll appropriately label the more technical bits (skip):

Technobabble

Like this. These bits go into more technical detail for those of you who are curious, but if you aren't you can simply gloss over this bit.

And please, don't feel you have to read the more technical bits.

I've also settled on a more-or-less Tuesday-Thursday publication schedule, but that's me. There are a few other folks around here that might be posting, like Mistah Wheelus (the General Manager) or Pavan (someone else in Technical Support), or even Carl (the head of Technical Support).

Hope you like it here.
