This is a topic to post things that have no where else to go ... there's

This topic is for things that you can't figure a place to put anywhere
else. Like, the following would go in a business conference in a topic
called 'self employment resources'. But we don't have a business
conference (should we?)
And if you're into web marketing...

* Quick Hits: There are numerous sites devoted to
small-office/home-office associations. Most include
information on online newsletters, benefits, news,
links and other resources. Here are a few: the Small
Office Home Office Assn. (http://www.sohoa.com), the
SOHO America Advocacy (http://www.soho.org), the
American Assn. of Home-Based Businesses
(http://www.aahbb.org), the American Home Business
Assn. (http://www.homebusiness.com), the National Assn.
of Home Based Business (http://www.usahomebusiness) and
the Home Office Assn. (http://www.hoaa.com).
* SOHO Diversity: There are at least a handful of
sites devoted to assisting and informing managers of
women- and minority-owned businesses.
At http://www.blackbusiness.com, you'll find SOHO info for
black-owned businesses. Black Women on the Web
(http://www.dtshop.com/bwow) has small-business and
home-business resources for African American women.
* Info Central: The Business Resource Center
(http://www.morebusiness.com) offers info for all kinds
of business owners. Check out business and
profitability tips, Tax Talk, Marketing Department and
the Management Center. You'll also find upcoming trade
show listings, financing guides, templates and work
sheets for business agreements and plans, discussion
groups, and software and reviews.
* You Want Answers? The Times' Small Business Web
site can be found at http://www.latimes.com/smallbiz.
Check out the 30 most-asked questions about small
business, tips on how to start a small business,
listings of classes and events, and articles from The
Times' archives.
* Get Involved: Advocacy issues are a primary
focus of the National Assn. for the Self-Employed. It
offers a weekly briefing on legislative issues and
activities that affect small businesses and advocacy
efforts, in addition to a reference area and a survey
of the "joys and sorrows" of owning a small business.
The NASE site is at http://www.membership.com/nase.
* Sitting Pretty: Ergonomics is just as important
in a small or home office as it is in a bigger one, so
stop by ErgoWeb (http://www.ergoweb.com) for the
lowdown on ergonomics standards, guidelines and
publications. The site has an interactive buying guide
and case studies on ergonomics gone awry.
* Don't Forget: Last, but not least, is the good
ol' Small Business Administration, for starting,
financing or expanding your office. The national SBA is
online at http://www.sbaonline.sba.gov, and the
California SBA is at http://www.csba.com.
* Online Research: Calling itself the "one-stop
resource for business, management and technology
knowledge," Brint.com (http://www.brint.com) allows you
to conduct research online, visit a virtual library on
knowledge management, participate in online discussions
and read or post publication and event announcements.

The Spring is a home business. I run it out of my home in Quail Creek. Do you want to talk about how we're set up and how we do all this? And do you want to make suggestions on how we could improve as an organization and do it better?

Yes, Terry, please tell us about the set up and so on, I'd be very interested to hear how all this works - but in English, okay?

C'est vrai... ooops, almost started explaining in French. English, ok.
Basically, we have 3 Intel boxes, two BSDI (www and barton) and a Free BSD
box (access) running all the spring stuff. And then I have a subnet of
about 8 machines at my Austin house. This is where we author our websites
mostly. A box is a computer. BSDI is an operating system. A subnet is a
collection of networked computers.
The video is streamed to the website via a VCR, right now it's playing the
party that I just came from over at Brad Adams place in Travis Heights.
What else?

We have three of our own servers on a D3, which is a very fast connection.
They are www, access, and barton. (eg. barton.spring.net), and we have
about 8 machines, mostly Pentiums, running Win 98 and one running BSDI at
the Austin Spring HQ.
What we're about is incubating ideas for new web businesses where someone
has a business and we provide the web infrastructure for a percentage
stake in the business. This is the model we're using for
http://www.silkcloth.com and for the "street" series that we just
registered (http://www.ih35.com, http://www.congressavenue.com,
http://www.burnetroad.com, http://www.lamarbouldevard.com,
http://www.thedrag.com etc. ). We're looking for more of these
collaborations either locally or virtually on the net.
Maybe we could set up a virtual art gallery here for Riette? Maybe others
of you have businesses we could implement.
