And Then Some News


How about And Then Some diligence! The andthensomeworks.com website now has a Contact Page. It is possible to reach us more easily and efficiently than ever before.

Dropping the proverbial pebble in a pool of water was just the beginning. The pebble was the "Contact Us" page, and the ripples changed the whole website. We ended up switching servers from Windows to Linux. For anyone who has not engaged in such an adventure, the process is easy to explain. Start by downloading and saving your current site, delete your old site including email addresses, then upload everything onto the new server, and create all of the email addresses you deleted. This sounds easy, but these are computers with a human at the controls. In my experience, switching servers has rarely been a smooth transition. There are always frustrating kinks to work out.

When asked how the transition to the new server went, ~ANT immediately dropped his head bemused, "Wow, I haven't sworn that much in a long time. If it weren't for my IT cohort, Scott Weaver, I'd still be swearing." Probing further, I asked if he was happy with the results and with a huge smile he emphatically said, "Oh yeah. The Contact Us page has been an issue for quite awhile. To finally have a way for people to easily and efficiently contact us has been extremely important. Now they can . . . in And Then Some style!"

Don't forget... the BarnJam/And Then Some Book 1 Official Release Party is November 3rd!! We will have Book 1 available for purchase for $15. That is almost $3 off the Amazon.com cover price. Come join us for food, fun, dancing, and of course... have Richard L. Weaver II sign your book!

And Then Some Saturday Essay - October 27, 2007
Celebrity’s Millennium plies the Mediterranean with an emphasis on service and satisfaction
by Richard L. Weaver II

Excerpt:
Every night at dinner, we would sit and watch the sun go down, ships coming and going from the local harbor, lights along the shoreline, departure from the port, or just the calm, soothing waters of the ocean. Every night, too, we had an opportunity to thank Zafer for his kindness—proof, once again, that who you know makes a difference. He dropped by to chat, kept an eye on us, and once as we were leaving the dining room, introduced us to his recently acquired mother-in-law, whom he admired greatly.

And Then Some - see you on Saturday
