091002 -
091003 - Had a problem this morning - got an out of space message from
091004 - Earthlink. Temporarily solved it by deleting about a megabyte or so
091005 - of images in the pic directory.
091006 -
091007 - This indicates we have now reached the 100 MB limit that Earthlink has
091008 - erroneously set for our account, per letter to Bruce submitting
091009 - analysis on 010419. ref SDS 31 L64J
091010 -
091011 - [On 010502 call from Earthlink to correct problem. ref SDS 35 L64J
091012 -
091013 - Left yet another message for Bruce following up the call on 010423
091014 - discussing the letter, ref DIP 3 0001, submitted on 010416,
091015 - ref SDS 31 0001, showing payments seem to indicate we should have 150
091016 - MB of space.

0913 - 1203 called Bruce back
0914 - ..
091401 - We reviewed the record on 010423 when Bruce planned to have Ken
091402 - Barnarby call about transferring our account from the JPS legacy
091403 - servers, to new servers that are under Bruces's management.
091404 - ref SDS 33 DP4N
091405 -
091406 - Bruce advised that he talked to Ken, and Ken told him that he would
091407 - have someone call us.
091408 -
091409 - Bruce said he assumes that I am calling because no one has called, as
091410 - Ken planned?
091411 -
091412 - I confirmed we have not heard from Ken or the contact.
091413 -
091414 - [On 010509 Ken recalled planning to contact Welch. ref SDS 36 5M5I
091415 -
091416 - We reviewed the record this morning, where the need to sort out
091417 - capacity on our Internet server is now more immediate, per above.
091418 - ref SDS 0 L64J
091419 -
091420 - Discussed changing servers solely for the purpose of maintaining the
091421 - relationship of Bruce providing direct support for Welch account,
091422 - which he set up in a letter received on 000304. ref SDS 9 0896 This
091423 - has been successful the past year in expediting solutions to problems.
091424 - On 010424 Bruce recommended Welch change servers in order that he can
091425 - maintain support for the account. ref SDS 33 DP4N
091426 - ..
091427 - Bruce feels that on balance, we should end his role coordinating
091428 - solutions for the Welch account. He took this on previously in order
091429 - to get direct feedback on improving management of customer accounts.
091430 - Welch was one of 3 or 4 customers Bruce handled personally, as case
091431 - study material.
091432 -
091433 - He feels it may be possible to develop a similar relationship with a
091434 - manager in the Earthlink system. He noted that Earthlink has 5M
091435 - customers, so it is harder for managers and directors to give personal
091436 - treatment that has been effective this past year.
091437 -
091438 - [On 010511 Bruce provided support. ref SDS 37 093A
091439 - ..
091440 - Bruce recommends changing from JPS legacy servers to "Earthlink
091441 - Farm" servers.
091442 -
091443 - I asked for 2 or 3 reasons for doing this in light of prior problems
091444 - that occurred when servers were changed to "improve" service, and it
091445 - caused weeks of extra work revising links in our records, and then
091446 - uploading the record again, compare, for example, the record on
091447 - 990423, ref SDS 4 6496, with extra work on 990426. ref SDS 5 0668
091448 -
091449 - Bruce feels the change can be done this time without extra effort by
091450 - the customer. He explained highly trained Earthlink experts will make
091451 - sure the transfer does not disrupt welchco service and practice using
091452 - the Internet for Com Metrics.
091453 -
091454 - [On 010511 Earthlink's servers are in Atlanta, and so the time
091455 - files are identified is hours different from files generated in
091456 - the Pacific time area, and this impacts uploading. ref SDS 37
091457 - EL7O
091458 -
091459 - Bruce cited following reasons for changing....
091460 -
091461 - The change is inevitable. Eventually, all JPS customers will be
091462 - transferred, so might as well get it done.
091463 - ..
091464 - Earthlink servers are new and improved. They all of the
091465 - capability of JPS servers, plus following additional customer
091466 - services.....

091468 - 1. Customers can determine online how space they have
091469 - available, which is a current Welch requirement.
091470 -
091471 - 2. Customers can change the space, increase or reduce space,
091472 - online to fit expanding or reduced needs.
091473 -
091474 - [On 010512 requested information on using these features.

091481 - 888 932 1997 option 4.
091482 -
091483 -
091484 - He said the way to place the order is to ask that the Welch account be
091485 - transferred from Corp Web 1 to the Earthlink farm.
091486 -
091487 - He said to sort out issues about payment for space, contact
091488 - Web Hosting non-technical, at.....

091498 - Bruce requested a record of work accomplishing this transfer, to
091499 - provide case study history for developing system improvements and
