Dealing with public officials in small towns.
So, here’s a topic I never got to finish. It’s been sitting in my drafts for nearly a decade! Let me boil it down to a few key points: They are all they have, sometimes there will be conflicts of interest and they wear multiple hats even if they’re not great at every hat They…

Data Loss
So BarkWeb CPHost BarkWeb or whatever it was called by the end had offered a lifetime hosting deal via AppSumo for $24 (or maybe more, recollection escapes me). The events that followed are surely a sign of why you shouldn’t trust lifetime deals for a service. A slap-dash transition from one server to the next…

Brewing the 15-minute IPA
