| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Feb. 01 | Web-development is definitely the way to go based on the talent pool that we have here, it was the original intention for Over The Limit, and it seems to be what everyone is good at and interested in. I still even have the executive summary that I wrote up for it. Never finished the business plan though.  ~Matt/Froy from Jersey Official Protector of Gay Marco & SwampJunk...if he ever decides to post. This message was edited by Froy on 4-3-01 @ 3:54 PM | ||||

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Jan. 01 | Hosting? Design? Which end? I think that design would be the place to start because hosting is some big bucks in server cost to start. It could be something added later. All that redundancy can get expensive. What about start up costs in general?  | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Aug. 00 | I agree that we have strong computer/graphic design/internet here, but that's along the lines I was thinking anyway. As for slacking, people slack more when they don't love what they do. I'm a slacker too, and I'm all for a relaxed, happy atmosphere, but I figure as long as people are willing to meet hard deadlines, then they can chill and work at their own pace if that's how they like to work. -----  E-mail: [email protected] Adoptee: Delta Sigma Phuk Ups You listen to me! While I will admit to a certain cynicism, the fact is I am a nay-sayer and a hatchet man in the fight against violence! I pride myself in taking a punch and I'll gladly take another because I choose to live my life in the company of Gandhi and King! My concerns are global. I reject absolutely revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method...is love. I love you, Sheriff Truman. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | In the consulting business, there are two schools of thought... specialize in one thing, or have a broad spectrum. Different companies will find the appeal in both types. A company that can design and build your website, while at the same time providing you with IT support... sounds like a hot commodity to me. Lots of companies (like mine) like a company that can do more than just one thing for them. They draw up a contract with you, and want as much as they can get out of it. And I know there are more developers *and* IT guys on this board that haven't checked in yet..  Me droogies: Two positions currently available.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | When I worked for NJB (New Jersey Bell) there were 13 of us."I" was the only one who volunteered to type the first ISDN order in NJ.Took me and another person to get it through the system.The thrill 3 days later when it finally did.I had to report to my super why I wasn't meeting my 200 page quota a day.She felt like shit she had no idea that I was the one who inputted that mess.From that day on I had to sit with my co-workers (cough) and train THEM how to do it.I was up for supervisor but we know how the f'en phone company works.When I did leave, they had asked people who retired or left to come back to clear up the billing system.Guess who was a substitute supervisor when ours wasn't in.(3 days a week).Gotta love a challenge!!! ;) This message was edited by Dana Dillon on 4-3-01 @ 5:21 PM | ||||

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Aug. 00 | Like I said earlier Jon, I think it is a good idea...I have plenty of sales and marketing experience to get the word out about the business. I know the ins and outs of building a business as well...I agree we should all get together sometime and seriously talk about the potential.... Is that Magus in the bushes with Raven again?
