Evariste

| 6 Comments | 1 TrackBack

As many of you know, it has been a rocky ride over the past couple of days at Winds. Actually, we've had a few of those over the past year, as we continued to search for a host that was both affordable and reliable.

Throughout, 'Evariste' has put in as lot of uncompensated hours to help me keep Winds running, research tough issues and/or alternatives, and enhance the site. Not because we're a paying client (though he has those), but because he wanted to help some friends.

If you've enjoyed Winds of Change.NET over the past year, it's in no small part thanks to him. Now that Winds is up and fully operational again thanks to his efforts, it seems only just to feature him as part of today's good news.

UPDATE: Coincidentally, Friday, July 28th was Sysadmin Appreciation Day. Did you appreciate your sysadmins? IT's not too late.

Thanks, Evariste. I've put in enough sysadmin hours to know how much of a bitch it can be.

Obstinately ignorant, I haven't put in those sysadmin hours ... so thanks double, Evariste!

Another thank you, not only for keeping the site running, but to everyone at WOC for everything they do. This blog is required daily reading, and given the wealth of information (and traffic), it can't be easy to keep this running.

That's what it's all about, extending a hand to help someone out...the world could use more of it. Hats off to Evariste for playing a part in keeping one of my favorite stops up and running.

Two words: ev rocks.

ev can't help it, being a class-act is his nature.

love you ev :)

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:

*This* puts text in bold.

_This_ puts text in italics.

bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.

To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
