Jinya Ramenbar

I went to new Ramen restaurant called Jinya in Crossroad, Bellevue. It tasted okay but the food was very small and too over 30 minuets to serve. Too slow for Ramen. And the price was very high for Ramen.

Today, I checked the website and found the same Ramen costs $10.55 in Studio City in California costs $11.80 in Bellevue and $14.00 in New York. Considering this is a franchise restaurant, do you think it is a good idea to set different prices depending on the city?

Web.com … bait and switch???

Mar

3

Yesterday I registered domain web/email at Web.com at low price of 1.99/month. Our hosting price is much higher than this. After looking at this, I was wondering how we can compete with this company. I cannot lower our price to $1.99.

I looked at the billing section today to find out $1.99 only applies to the first month and it will go up to $20.95 just for a web. I am calling Web.com to find out more about how much it really costs. I am currently on hold for over 10 minuets.

I will keep you updated.

Email Service Problem … I am sorry!!!

Jan

23

We took last several months to design and implement the new email software with new servers and storage system. They turned out to be faulty and unstable. We have to rethink the design and implementation in last one week. The system is now more stable, but we are very sorry the new system caused many headaches.

I have not gone home before 11:00pm all this week including last Saturday and Sunday. I am getting too old for this. We will get this right.

San Diego "Time"

Jan

15

When i am in Bellevue, may day starts with walk in the park with dogs. Then I have morning meeting, take care of SNS and have lunch. Then I have few more meeting and work on the design or review the products and services. When I realize that I have done all that it is already dark out. I prepare dinner and feed dogs then I think about my own dinner. I usually work until 10 to 11pm and go home.

Here is San Diego ... I have no such a routine and it is up to our San Diego staff to setup meetings. Time moves very slow here. I think the weather has something to do with it too. It is a very once to place to visit. But I have to concentrate of helping San Diego PSPINC expand its business.

What can I do?

My business strategy is "Do it, and if it does not work, change it." But people here are very conservative and not ready for big change.

Apple Store

Dec

I was cleaning up my friend's MacBook when it stop working. I tried everything but I could not get it to work.

So, i made an appoint meant and went to the Apple Store in Bellevue Square. I waited a little but the tech. came out and rebooted the computer with LAN. After it was booted, he diagnosed the problem to the corrupt file in the hard disk. He reformatted and reinstalled the OS. It took only 20 minuets.

What a service.
