Joomla sitemap creation.

This sitemap is created with a Joomla! extension. It also auto-updates every time I post a new blog entry, and then categorizes it as well.

This site is about poker software reviews and was offline for 6 days due to the paint-ball accident at Westhost.

WestHost NEWS: Its all Bad.

Is it just me or does WESTHOST not even realize the damage they are causing small businesses that have entrusted them to keep their business accessible. Here they seem to think I am going to appreciate, rather then expect FREE temporary hosting while they get their noodles untangled.

Just to be clear WESTHOST, one week of downtime means LOSS of income, LOSS of back-links, LOSS of subscribers, LOSS of Google indexing, and LOSS of sales to name just a few. Westhost thinks a couple months of hosting reimbursed is going to fix it.

What Westhost has no clue about is that hosting is about trust and reliability. We have all worked with doofuses that can pull a wrong (fire suppression switch) switch, but since they are in the hosting business, they MUST be prepared for such uncommon or bizarre situations.

That is YOUR job WESTHOST as a host business. We rely on your dedication to reliability, speed and sufficient back-up systems. That is obviously a failing of your management, not the wanker who thought he was turning on a light bulb.

Now in a time of crisis, they are NOT answering their phones and have robots, even slow robots manning the chat line with scripted responses. Yet they start thier response with things like "WestHost has a history of delivering solid and reliable hosting platforms with top-notch support" and finish their emails with "When you expect more from your web host". It's this utter blasphemy that makes my blood boil.

So stop with the excuses WESTHOST and get our sites back up. When you do that, you can go into damage control while re-engineering your emergency systems and cleaning the management house.

Marty, You are my new best friend!!

I was in a situation with pocket queens big blind. The guy on my left who was very tight (as noted on my wonderful tournament indicator) pushed all in, and the fellow on my right called. The donkey in me wanted so much to push back, but thanks to you and your common sense approach to the game, and the wonderful tutorials you so generously offer... it was an easy fold. Turns out, that would have been the end of me for that game had I pushed all in. So I said "thank you Marty!"

I receive all sorts of video tutorials from you. I still don't know how many different sites your name is on. I think the one video about taking care of my bankroll really hit home the most for me and came at a very timely moment. I signed on to Titan poker to get TI (which I now own after 900 hands). Reloading was just part of learning the game I thought...That was pre Marty Smith. There are many times now when I think more about placing in the money and the importance of guarding my bankroll as my primary concern when making decisions. After nearly 1000 flops where I have vp$ip, Titan poker is the only site that I am still playing with my original deposit. That's a huge step for me. You have taught me so much about the game. I was lucky enough to catch you on Full Tilt the other night. You were short stacked with 700 chips. I thought what a great opportunity for me to watch how you work with a short stack. There were two fellows to the right of you that had some 6,000 plus and 4,000 plus chips. Anyways to make a short story long, I watched you grow to chip leader with over 13,000 chips at the final table. You managed a second place finish in a very long and volatile fight when it came down to the last four people.

Marty, I could go on and on. I am stunned at how much time you dedicate to helping me play a better game. And when I say "me" I mean all the "me's" out there. I sincerely thank you and eagerly look forward to watching more of you and from you in the future.

Iain.

P.S. After taking in all the fee videos you send out, I decided to put a few loonies in your pocket and bought your three pack of videos.. Thought it only right, and besides I was sure they would be packed with all sorts of common sense "Martyisims"

P.P.S. I live in the GTA and frequent Toronto. If a guy ever comes up to you and gives you a big non gay man hug... "not that there's anything wrong with that".... ... well that will be me,
