@ceeasley21 @rachaelbreece I know you have it for Thursday as I made that one.
@TTU_ACM the #PARCForum viewing on Thursday is still on right? Also, if no one has made plans for food, might I suggest doing so afterwards?

@wade712 think the last time I had inbox 0, was an undergrad, and was only because web interface couldn’t actually talk to the mail server.
@wade712 I can fix that for you.

@jopas I’d think so, anything of size you want wireframe, you could easily spend 30mins 2 do by hand, surely most user time worth >$18 hour.
@jopas @wirfy having said that, think it’s a cool project and if you change to a model I can’t as easily make use of, will still think that.
@jopas @wirify current capacity, I’d be low volume, doubt you want count this 4 much, but I see $9/shot I can decided quickly if worth that.
@jopas @wirify congrats on getting new version out. While I’m sure someone will complain, I (would be infrequent user) like pricing model.

Has anyone measured the impact of url shorteners to page-rank et. al.? Seems like less real urls: more spam urls could be part of problem.
@ceeasley21 For large organizations, even without extra money, requires smaller uplinks to rest of network, which is a cost savings.
@ceeasley21 64GB SSD for all of Bruner would seem to be a good start, for example. (Guessing the gmail logo would stay in the cache)

@ceeasley21 Yep, thinking you could build it into wireless access points, or the router behind them (2nd option might be more PoE friendly)
