Xpert.net is the brainchild of Earthnet engineers Paul Rennix and Matt Simmons. Having provided custom solutions in the managed web hosting field for a number of years, they felt something was missing: an affordable, self-managed Linux hosting option.
The goal is to let the customer choose from a standard OS offering or request any free Linux OS on the web. Simply point us to the distribution and the Xperts will load it up on your server and put it on the network for you to configure however you see fit.
As a companion offering, xpert.net will offer incident-based support for everything from email issues to clustering and server setup.
Where are we?
Xpert is hosted at the Earthnet Data Center in Boulder, Colorado. Earthnet has been in business since 1994, with the same local ownership. The facility is a SSAE16 Type II certified, HIPPA compliant data center. Earthnet provides colocation services and e-commerce advice to some of the most up-and-coming businesses in the startup hub that is Boulder, Colorado.

I got a new car, then got a bill for an e470 toll, so I added my new car to my account so E470 could collect. Now, months later, I am getting collection notices and no help from anyone at E470, including Supervisor Chris Collins, who transferred me to his supervisors voicemail, a Ron Newlander.

So really, you had enough of my money and the info needed to collect, but the system is so bad, I still got sent to collections months later? and now, no effort to remedy? BAD BAD BAD. I canceled my e470 account. Who can I contact to bring this complaint to light?I got a new car, then got a bill for an e470 toll, so I added my new car to my account so E470 could collect.

My Google Talk has been down for a month.

I’ve tried the forums, here: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/chat/thread?tid=074130bd7779fffb&hl=en starting on 12/16

the problem went away for a few days but then returned and I’ve not had it work since. I’m still floating around the Google forums, but Google doesn’t respond despite what appears to be large numbers of people looking for help.

You may say – “But it’s free!” and I say, oh, but no it’s not. Google talk seems to be the root of why my Verizon Droid won’t connect with my google account. So, no Google Talk on the Droid, no application downloads

So, I called Verizon and they are sure it’s a Google Account problem as well – but Verizon can’t get Google on the phone either!? (Google’s name is stamped on my phone, BTW!)

SHOW NOTES

FestivaLink.net presents Boulder All-Star Tribute to Bob Dylan, Chautauqua Community House, Boulder, CO 5/17/09

(A Benefit Show for The Oral Cancer Foundation)

Music communities are often knit together by a few people. In Boulder, producer/teacher/bandleader and multi-instrumentalist Greg Schochet holds that role in the acoustic music world. For four years, he’s recruited friends and bandmates to a musical Bob Dylan Birthday Party, a show for 100 fans with all proceeds donated to the Oral Cancer Foundation. Greg claims with some pride that even after 4 years of shows, no song has been repeated.

Of the 3+ hours of entertainment, Greg selected these songs to represent the event. A highlight for some was Halden Wofford’s dramatic reading (from his iPhone) of Patrick Cullie’s tale of survival as lighting director for the Rolling Thunder Revue.

Players:
Blue Canyon Duo (Gary Dark and Jason Hicks)
Dave McIntyre
Lazarus Brothers (Aaron Keim and Scott McCormick of Boulder Acoustic Society)
Gregory Alan Isakov
Andy Monley
Peter Fiori and Greg Schochet
Greg Schochet and Scott McCormick
Billy and Jilian Nershi
Halden Wofford and The Hi-Beams (Greg Schochet, Bret Billlings, Ben O’Connor, Damon Smith)
Swing State (Greg Schochet, Bill Pontarelli, Nancy Thorwardson, Aaron Keim)
Cowhause (Janet Feder and Colin Bricker)

Produced by Greg Schochet; recorded by Paul Rennix; mastered by David Glasser and edited by Steven Haver, Airshow Mastering.

someone asked me if I’d been to seminary. ahh, nope. It appears some other poor guy has the same name out there. If you know the guy that went to OVU, give him a break if you ever google him, because the poor guy and me aren’t the same, he’s likely never been a troll on Usenet or cared what kernel version he’s running.

how’s that for a useless blog post?

I had some difficulty with a proflowers.com order. I use them often (6 or so times a year), and this order could have been the last one – but guess what? They stood behind their product and made things right.

I’ll let the world know when something goes bad, but I’m determined to also let the world know when something goes right. These folks deliver a good product at a good price and they stand behind their service.

Bravo!

I figured I would give this a spin and bring you the first performance of our 2008 Fall Season. We gather with a bunch of friends and have a pre-music potluck with the musicians, then the musicians play, then we usually have an ‘after pick’ as many of the guests are local grassers. I record all of these unamplified gatherings, and mike right up front. This is the first 4-track I’ve done with the HD-P2 and I’m excited to be doing more 4 track goodness as time goes on.

Swing State took the first half of the evening, followed by Finders and Youngberg. (The F&Y set will be posted later on.)

Swing state is made up of some Colorado All-Stars including:

• Greg Schochet Mandolin & Guitar (The Hi*Beams, Expedition, The All Night Honky Tonk All-Stars, Runaway Truck Ramp)
• Nancy Thorwardson Guitar & Lead Vocals (Blue Mountain Ranch Hands, gadzukes)
• Aaron Keim Bass (Boulder Acoustic Society, Flat Foot, Hudson Super Six)
• Bill Pontarelli Clarinet (Flexigrass, Deco Django)

People know me from many worlds. Many from a shared love of roots Americana music (including putting up with my microphones in your face or letting me clamp to your stand), Rail potlucks, tapers.org, from the campground at Planet Bluegrass in Lyons or Telluride, from work at Earthnet in Boulder, neighbors and old friends spread throughout the world now. I consider myself to be SO LUCKY to get to have the fun I do with so many fun, diverse, and talented people.

As I make these posts I hope you get to enjoy some new art, maybe even a new kind of art. I also hope you are encouraged to go see some live music, be it in a club or a campground or a festival or a living room. Get some live music in your life!

The Steam Powered Preservation Society & Bruce Molsky

I work with this 501c3 non-profit for I think 5 years now. The SPPS does preservation of Americana music. We take decaying reel-to-reel, casette, or other distressed media and digitize, master, and research the material. The worthwhile, non-commercial material is shared in an electronic library for students of Americana, musicians, and music lovers to enjoy.

The SPPS shares the music with folks who don’t know about this beautiful music and those that do stay excited. Getting to follow an artist’s live work keeps people excited, and leads to sales of tickets and cds for these often under appreciated American treasures. The SPPS is in the works with some interesting opportunities to partner with events and other like-minded organizations. We’re seeing more people get involved everyday as the website has gone from a static webpage to real Americana news source with a growing and talented staff of writers. Check it out, and see the exclusive story on KC Groves written by Sarah Hagerman, just published today.

You can become a fan of the SPPS on facebook. You’ll hear about more great tunes!

I do the ‘backend’ server stuff & used to do the web page but luckily found Chris Coyier – a real webmaster and CSS guru who gave our site a nice overhaul a couple months back. Now all I have to do is add content to the wordpress installation he did, and it’s beautiful. I also do onsite archival/recording mostly around Boulder County, Colorado. (Because, I’m super lucky.)

No matter which world you and I share already, I want to share with you the SPPS and a great musician: Bruce Molsky. Bruce is an amazing Americana musician. Call it Old-Time or Americana or Folk or whatever you will, he’s a living treasure and not enough people know about him.

You may wonder why the heck would an artist like Bruce let us record him and share this music for free? I can’t really speak for him, but here’s my take on it. Many hard working super talented musicians are out there that you will never hear on the radio (well, maybe on KGNU). Many people have never heard of these great musicians & many have never had the chance to appreciate this kind of music.

In talking to artists over the years of recording them, the ones that ‘get it’ understand that more fans is a good thing. Real fans buy tickets and commercial releases, so if a great recording like this helps you get to know this kind of music and Bruce in particular, then it works and it works well. It works really well when a listener is inspired to go an buy a CD or two after falling in love with the music.

After you check out the show below, if you feel inspired, give a virtual thumbs up here. it’s just like applause.

This is a fantastic set of music. just beautiful. It was recorded by David Avery who does a great share of the reel to reel digitization for the spps.

some free-to-share music follows. download it, put it on whatever you listen to music on, give it to a friend, but never, ever sell it : ) Keep scrolling to see the setlist near the bottom of this note.
