Pokerati is pretty happy about how things turned out in 2006, and our remote Third World sweatshop/think-tank is hard at work preparing for an even better 2007. And part of that means continuing to improve the site itself, to make your experience while visiting slightly less pathetic/irritating.
So, question(s) that I\’m hoping one of you uber-internet geeky types or my newfound SEO friends can explain to me … first off, what-the-fug is that strange little snare-drum noise when you refresh the page?!? I can\’t for the life of me figure it out, but obviously I had to put it on there somehow.
And second … I have had multiple offers recently from people to host Pokerati on \”I have my own server.\” (Some complain that the site is still slow-loading as all get-out.) Obviously I\’d like to get you our intelligent mass of pixels to you as fast as possible. So what\’s the catch? Am I giving anything up by letting someone else with their own interest at hand take over the hosting duties? Or am I just being an ass and not recognizing when someone wants to help just for the sake of being nice? Current host is Startlogic, for whom I have neither love nor hate …
Oh, and while I\’m at it on this non-pokery kick … we should all be for the idea of net neutrality, right? Just making sure. Seems to make sense — big nasty cable and telecom companies are bad — but I am still waiting for Mark Cuban to tell me how to think.
