Last weekend we exhibited at LinuxFest NorthWest. It was pretty exciting, since this was the first time we’d actually had a booth and marketing schwag at an event. Hopefully it won’t be the last.

As these things go, the preparation was pretty intense. Between the time we signed up for our booth, and 10 days prior to the conference, we didn’t have much time to plan for the event. At T-10 days, we decided we wanted stickers and T-shirts.

With 8 days left, I called up Robert Kaule over at essensys, who also owns a silk screening business. I asked him to make it happen on time. Being an engineer first, and a screen-printer second, his response was “no problem, I’ll have to bill you for overnight delivery “.

Pusher of Bits Needed (Senior Linux Administrator)

BitPusher manages web servers, networks and other IT infrastructure, both owned by BitPusher and hosted elsewhere. We build long-term relationships with our customers and take the time to understand their applications, their technical needs and their business needs. We customize things as required to meet those needs, but we also keep things as standard as we can for reasons that we’re sure you already understand.

Do you like making order out of chaos? Are you effective when managing lots of little projects, but also have a tendency to make improvements that you didn’t originally have in mind? Are you always looking for ways to manage servers more efficiently? If so, let’s talk.

Congratulation to BitPusher’s latest customer, RunWild! RunWild launched tonight at 8:15 PM PDT, and everything went off with flying colors.

We had a TBPCE (team building pumpking carving experience) last night where we each got to carve a pumpkin. Thought we’d share this one with everybody.

Happy Halloween from BitPusher!

I’m in London now for Carsonified’s Future of Web Apps conference. For the next two days I’ll be listening to talks from a variety of interesting speakers involved in web apps in various capacities. Friday is the conference workshop day, and in the afternoon I’ll be running a workshop on Scaling the LAMP Stack.

I’m also in London for a couple of extra days, so if you’re in town (at the conference or not), let me know.
