Random Quotes(s) From newdream.net 0. Introduction. THIS IS February! (said to the pace and tone of "THIS IS Jeopardy!") Hey, I was about to write some stuff about February and how short it is, but then I got this weird feeling of deja vu. And.. yup, it turns out I was about to say exactly the same thing (about how short it will be until the next newsletter) that I did LAST February! Of course this year that wouldn't be such a great thing to say because this year is a leap year. That's right it IS. Of course you all already knew that.. but did you know why it IS? Of course you do, but in a cheap (possibly illegal) attempt to stretch out the introduction, here is a quote from the "Norman Rockwell Appointment Calendar for the year 2000" copyright 1999 Almanac Publishing Company, Lewiston, ME 04241 explaining the whole thing in historic detail: "Happy Leap Day! Because this year is a leap year, you'll be enjoying one extra day this month. Yes, February 29th is an actual day this year. But did you ever wonder why we have leap years? The "why" has to do with trying to get the calendar year to equal the astronomical year. Leap days and years date back to Julius Caesar in 46 BC. At that time, Caesar ordered the calendar be 365 days in length and that it contain 12 months. A few days were added to various months to bring the total from 354 to 365. Considering the fact that the seasons do not repeat every 365 days, but actually 365.2422, the calendar ended about one-quarter day early. After every fourth year, it would be one full day in error. To make up for this error, every fourth year an extra day was to be added to February. According to this calendar change, any year evenly divisible by four was a leap year, which meant that the average length of the calendar was 365.25 days. however, this correction made the year 11 minutes and 14 seconds too long; after 128 years, the calendar was ending a full day later than the astronomical year. In 1582 Pope Gregory XII stepped in and ordered yet another correction to the calendar. This change produced the Gregorian Calendar, which we use today. The reform stated that century years not evenly divisible by 400 would not be leap years. Thus 1900 was not a leap year, but 2000 is. This made the average length of the calendar 365.244 days and reduced the calendar error to only 1 day in 3322 years. Our modern calendar is based on this Gregorian calendar. However, a slight modification makes years evenly divisible by 4000 regular years rather than leap years. This reduces the error to less than 1 day in 20,000 years. And that's why you have an extra day this year and month to do as you please! Enjoy!" And I please to use that extra day writing the March newsletter, sure to be chock full of wonderful announcements about Dreamhost 2000.0! Some other little interesting introductory tidbits about _this_ February: Groundhog's day was yesterday. (I think we have more winter, at least in the U.S.) Artist/Illustrator Norman Rockwell was born today in this February, 1894. This is the longest National Black History month EVER! Two days before this February began my favorite NFL team the St. Louis Rams won Superbowl XXXIV in a very exciting game. (St. Louis is my favorite team because their mascot is such a refreshing change from the typical NFL choices of tough animals or Native American slurs. What other team would name themselves after a computer component? Still, I must say I don't understand what the design on their helmets has to do with random access memory.) 1. DHSOTM Round-up. This month we've switched the judging process for the winner to go to whoever has the highest average vote (after a minimum number of votes that is) rather than whoever has the most points. That's because everybody seems to be so critical of each other's sites and therefore, no sites apart from ones JUST posted have positive scores! Anyway, this month's winner based on average score (and I think they might have had the most points anyway) is http://www.vegasthecat.com/ ! That's right, a web site dedicated to a pet won the coveted DreamHost Site of the Month award (notice that it's always the "coveted" DHSOTM award? Just like it's always the "tech-laden" NASDAQ.) for February! Well, hey, at least it's a short month, right? But don't feel bad Vegas The Cat, at least it's a leap year, right? But seriously, the site ain't half bad, especially considering the intrinsic dullness of its chosen subject, so if you're already bored of this newsletter, click on over! http://www.vegasthecat.com/ 2. Suggestion Round-up. As usual we follow up the DHSOTM round-up with the suggestion round-up. This month, the top suggestions were again ideas about what WE could give YOU for free, or at least cheaper, or more of. WELL! How come we never see suggestions offering that YOU be able to overpay US if you'd like? Or that WE should raise YOUR prices so all those Happy DreamHost Employees can get those Happy DreamHost Ferraris they've been lusting for? Just shows you what a self-centered, looking out for number 1, me-me-me world we live in. Tsk, Tsk, Tsk. You should all be ashamed. But, we WILL be implementing close to all of those suggestions with our new system anyway, because we here at DreamHost are others-centered, looking out for number 2, you-you-you people and we give until it hurts! But please, stop posting those sort of suggestions.. at least for a few months... we get the hint already! This month's winner (and the recipient of the $50 prize) is MrTom who suggested some auto- responder improvements. 3. Auto-responder improvement! We warned you about these! The improvement is simply that the auto-responders will now send the same message to the same recipient as many times as they send a message. This is the behavior most people expect and want from an auto-responder in the first place! The worry about two auto-responders getting into an infinite loop with each other is eliminated by simply keeping track of the last email address responded to, and not sending an auto-response to the same address twice in a row. Also, you can now choose to quote the senders email at the end of your auto-reply, merely by checking the checkbox that is now there for that purpose in the auto- responder management section of the web panel. 4. Contest winners! Don't forget we're always giving away free stuff, whether people suggest to or not! On January 31st the contest for the five free (slightly used by Happy DreamHost Prize- Quality Inspection Team) DreamCasts (we're still debating as to whether or not we should sue..) ended, and the winners were decided. We're going to announce them right here, right now! Keep in mind we haven't already notified the winners through any other means, so read this list because YOU might have won! And the winners are (in no particular order): Patrick Shen Mary Lynn Coyle David Ely David Demers and Anthony Adinolfi! Congratulations fellahs (and missus), you've _earned_ it! We'll contact you about delivery within the next month. Hope you like video games! I know I do! There will be a new contest soon.. the details haven't been worked out yet, so keep checking http://www.dreamhost.com/ for updates! 5. http://www.vibeflow.com/ What is Vibeflow? It's a new site, just released by New Dream Network (you know.. DreamHost < NDN), and according to the blurb on the main page "[Vibeflow's] dream is to unite independent audio/video producers and give them an open resource for sharing their art." So far there's not too much there; a mailing list, a featured artist, and a guestbook, but that's just because nobody's heard about it yet! And now with this great plug from Vibeflow's sister service DreamHost, I bet it'll take off immediately! And YOU can be there on the ground floor and help shape it into a beautiful, special thing. That is if you are an independent audio/video producer. 6. New "About Us"! In the next few days we'll be putting a new "About Us" section up at our main site, just so people who don't have access to the newsletter (i.e. potential customers!) can get a little glimpse into what we're all about. If it were up already, I'd just put a link to it, but since it's not, I'm going to just have to quote the whole thing right here for everybody! If you're not interested, read it anyway.. there's a secret message hidden inside! "COMPANY PAST We at DreamHost have been happily hosting our clients' dreams (and websites) since April 1997, close to a century ago in Internet years! That was when we (four Computer Science undergraduates at hmc.edu in Claremont, CA) launched this company with no capital apart from a single Pentium 100 web server (Destro was her name), using shared bandwidth on a T1 line a friend gave us at no cost. By necessity we had to be frugal, but even with our less than ample resources we always did our best to provide a quality service at a reasonable price. Those early days quickly taught us the technical expertise and market savvy necessary to survive in our industry, as well as teaching us to respect each and every customer's wishes, dealing with them as though they were our friend. Hey, most of them were! It's hard to believe that in less than three years we've grown to over 30 servers (each with over 20 times the processing power of Destro), seven T3 connections and a full time staff of 20. Even though we now average more new customers per day than signed up total in our first three months of business, we've always made it our number one priority to deal with every client as a human being and as a friend. We like to think that that, more than anything else, is the real reason for our current success. Now hosting over 10,000 web sites, we've definitely come a long way since 1997. But, we can see there's still a long road in front of us. We don't know exactly where it will lead; all we know is that the trip will be fun, and we wish you'd come with us! COMPANY PRESENT As with all companies, there are some things we do the same as our competitors and there are some things we do differently. We try and imitate whenever we feel imitation is deserved, and we deviate whenever we feel deviation is a must. Most hosts offer a wide range of features bundled with various service plans, and we are of course no exception. Canned CGI scripts, full CGI access, PHP3, ssh and telnet, raw log files plus analyzed access statistics, unlimited email forwarding, aliasing, auto-responding, vanity domain names, MySQL, e-commerce, plenty of disk space and transfer allowance are available on our numerous service plans (Prices range from $9.95 to $99.95/month). Most hosts offer a web-based control panel to manage your account and its features, and we do too. From there you can control all aspects of your account(s), including any billing-related and customer support concerns you may have. But wait. There is more... Where you first start to notice the difference between DreamHost and all other webhosts is the community feel of our web panel. Besides the standard links for things like email and domain management, there are areas for customer suggestions, DreamHost newsletters, the DreamHost Site of the Month, the DreamHost WebRing, the unofficial DreamHost directory, the DreamHost Rewards program, DreamHost resellers, as well as a customer discussion area. All of these are a natural outcropping of our desire to stay in touch with our clients and to foster a free flow of ideas between them and us. What better way to learn how to keep our customers happy than to ask them, and then to act on what they say? Another refreshing difference is how relaxed and customer-oriented our billing practices are. There is an unconditional 30 day money back guarantee on all accounts, we have no set up fees for any services, no hidden costs, no minimum monthly contracts and a price freeze in effect guaranteeing that any price you sign up for on a recurring plan will never, ever, increase! We accept payment via Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, Diner's Club, and Carte Blanche, as well as by personal check or money order. We can even handle purchase orders if required by your Accounts Payable department. The differences keep coming! Our choice to not provide the Microsoft NT operating system for any of our hosting products is one that is a common subject of inquiry. We feel strongly that the best products available for the job of serving Internet content are those based on Unix, and that the efforts of the open source community specifically (Linux, Apache, MySQL and so on) are best of breed. To use any NT or NT-related products would be to us a vote of no confidence against the very technology that made it possible for us to compete in this industry in the first place! It turns out that once our customers give open source alternatives a chance they are overjoyed with the performance and feature set available to them. Of course, some will decide to go with someone else and use NT, and for those we respect their decision. Our only request is that if in the future the need ever does arise for a Unix-based solution they'll give us another shot! But of course, the biggest difference, the one that keeps people singing our praises and referring their friends, is our customer service. Every message is responded to within 24 hours, with a friendly, helpful, and completely honest answer. Sometimes a server does go down, and we let our customers know when it happens. We'll also let them know if a cheaper plan better fits their needs, or what sort of software we personally use for whatever they're trying to implement. We constantly try to treat everyone as a friend in need (indeed!). COMPANY FUTURE At DreamHost we have focused our attention on the virtual server webhosting market. That was the only market we could afford to enter early on, and we felt it was best to focus entirely on one area before pursuing others. Those who had needs beyond the scope of shared servers unfortunately had to look elsewhere and miss out on our unique brand of hosting service. We are happy to announce that we will soon be bringing that brand to the entire range of webhosting! We have grown such that we now feel confident in our ability to provide our level of service to the dedicated machine market. Besides having more physical resources for this endeavor, what has allowed this progression is our recent development of an entirely new underlying hosting system. Dubbed "DreamHost 2000", it completely automates all aspects of hosting, through an SPR (simple, powerful, robust) web-based interface. Whether you just want to register a domain or are the head administrator for an entire cluster of servers, all your configuration duties will be easily handled through the new software. It's also completely customizable for sub users and resellers of any of our services. Also in the works with the release of DreamHost 2000 is a number of new interactivity features to allow even smoother communication between our clients and ourselves as well as amongst our clients themselves. Our goal is to eventually create an environment where any sort of web hosting need can be fulfilled immediately at the best price possible within a helpful community of like-minded individuals. We believe that with our new software and open-minded approach that goal is not as far-fetched as it might sound!" Did you find the hidden message? You missed it? Keep looking! 7.
