Needcoffee.com - Ten Years of Insomnia: 1998-2008!
The Latest From the Spambucket, or How I Lost Out on $1000

Keep cool with Spam!

Just received this in my inbasket. Subject line is "I will pay $1000 for needcoffee.com website right now, payable today."

Wow. The John Denver bit from earlier must have gotten you at an emotional point in your life. We've been offered money to stop writing but never for the whole website. Sweet.

Anyway, I read on:

Hi,

We are looking to potentially immediately buy your website. It must meet the following criteria:

Minimum Google PR: 3

Be in one of the following categories:
- Canadian focus

(more...)

New Server, Same Flagrant Disregard for Sleep
Posted on 12.06.07 by Widge @ 4:35 am

Needcoffee.com's new server; we got it on special

So Needcoffee and our One Tusk sites have moved to a brand spanking new server. We had to, because no matter how hard we work at scaring you away, you just keep playing your ZZ Top tunes in our yard, ya damn kids. So okay, fine. We upgraded. A bit.

What does this mean to you, the consumer? Well, first of all, DNS propagation these days is pretty damn fast, but some of you might still be on the old box for a little bit. So don't freak if it looks like we haven't updated for a day or so and alluvasudden all your co-workers are talking about the latest and greatest on here and you feel left out and it starts to seem like maybe we're all in a conspiracy against you.

We are, naturally. All of us here and everybody at your workplace. And your in-laws, too. In cahoots. But it has nothing to do with the server change. Just so you know.

This also means that things should be a bit snappier around here, at least as far as server speed goes.

But if you see something wonktified, please let me know.

And I will reiterate: never, ever become a webmaster. Just heed me in that, if nothing else.

Headsup on New Affiliations
Posted on 12.04.07 by Widge @ 3:10 pm

Just so you're aware, Needcoffee.com is now an affiliate of three new online shopping emporiums: Entertainment Earth, Half.com and Hotels.com.

As always, if you shop with those fine establishments, please do so by stopping by our Shop Needcoffee.com page first, so we can get some kickbacks. Because Needcoffee.com loves you, and kickbacks are how you can love us back...albeit in a safe, platonic, non-stalking way. We thank you.

Your Pre-Holiday Reminder: Buy Through Us, Because We Love You
Posted on 11.20.07 by Widge @ 3:33 pm
Boca Java Tower of Joy

That's right, folks: Needcoffee.com Loves You. It's not just a slogan. It's a scientific fact.

Next year is our 10th year of doing this crazy shit. No, seriously. 1998 was the spawning of Needcoffee.com. And for our ten year anniversary of not having lives, we've got some even crazier shit planned. I can't tell you anything more now, because then I'd have to kill you. And killing you would be difficult because the ninjas are all busy working out the Turkey Day buffet and you outnumber me thousands to one. So I'll just refrain from telling you, because that would be easier for everybody.

(And for those of you wondering how we can love you and threaten to kill you in the same post...you've never been in many relationships, have you?)

[[ Keep reading...it's okay, it gets better. ]]
