I know this is kind of old at this point but it’s the only holiday picture I’ve got. Cindy and I are going to be spending some time with family and taking a posting vacation starting today and through Christmas.

This doesn’t mean there’s nothing to read here on AgWired if you should visit. So far there’s about 2,700 posts you can browse through. Keep in mind that they’re all categorized too. You can use the categories links in the sidebar to narrow down your browsing search. And there’s a keyword search function as well.

Now just in case you missed it you can still see us do a little holiday dance for you.

All you’ve got to do is check out my moves here thanks to Office Max. Or if you’d rather, you can see Cindy doing the elf dance here too.

Merry Christmas from ZimmComm New Media.

Actually this isn’t about that kind of resolution. Right after the first of the year ZimmComm New Media will have a big announcement for you and I just thought I’d tease you now so you can spend your holiday wondering and speculating. We’re taking another big step forward in the new media world and very excited about it.

So keep your eyes on your in-box when you’ve recovered from your New Year’s celebration. That’s all I can tell you right now. Mysterious I know. It’s meant to be. Let’s just say though that we’ll have more to offer and that’s a good thing for us and I hope for you too.

Yee-haw!

This week ZimmComm New Media is going to take a TextDrive. Basically this means we’re moving to a new server. For a couple years now we’ve been with HostGator and for the most part they’ve been a good fit.

However, as we’ve evolved in the web publishing and social media world we need a company that really understands what we’re doing. As I was looking around at various companies we could work with I was pointed to TextDrive, a Joyent company. Ironically, this is the company that the original design artist for the AgWired theme moved to.

TextDrive is “hosting company run by and for people who love publishing on the web.” When I saw that slogan I had a gut feeling I was in the right place. This is going to be different kind of hosting management environment. We’re hoping for a smooth transfer this week but just in case we have a hiccup you’ll know what’s going on.

After this move is complete it’s full steam ahead into the new year. This is going to be fun.

I would like to take this opportunity to tell you how wonderful my oldest daughter is. For those of you who don’t know, her name is Chelsea and she’s working part time for ZimmComm New Media. We’re a community here so I feel comfortable sharing this with you. Many of you know that Chelsea was in an auto accident that left her paralyzed from the chest down.

I have not read the book, just the release. But because the author is from Ocala, FL I thought I’d post this. We moved to Missouri from Ocala back in late 1991.

Hello AgWired fans. You may have noticed that AgWired has been down periodically over the last several days. This was originally caused by an attack last week that hasn’t stopped. I guess that once you have a website with the level of traffic we have you become a target. If you want all the gory technical details I’ll be happy …

It’s time to start getting into the holiday spirit so I thought I’d offer you some (strange) holiday cheer to perk you up when you get into the office on Monday morning.

Do you have some real estate you’d like to sell? Are you wondering how you’re going to market it? Here’s a place you might want to check on. I don’t know who this is behind it but I’m sure I can find out.

Although the next two weeks seem very busy, they’re nothing like what the schedule will be like after the holidays. It’s winter meeting time and I’m sure a lot of state organizations are actively meeting. Our annual Missouri Governor’s Conference on Agriculture is kicking off today at Lake of the Ozarks.

As I posted previously, it looks like the spammers were out in force big time yesterday. We have ways to deal with this but unfortunately my hosting company support staff freaked out and disabled a vital part of the website. That’s why you’re seeing my old theme as of this posting. You can trust the fact that I’m not happy …
