Good times for NOVAWS

Things have been going well with NOVAWS lately. We've launched our newest site, Strategic Alliance Employment & Consulting Services, Inc. (SAECS), and we our currently working with a good friend of mine, Bill Boebel, to develop a site for Discount Newspaper Printing (DNP) which is a printing company owned by his family.

After the site has been developed the plan is to host, maintain, and provide web marketing for DNP. We are all pretty excited about this because the end goal of NOVAWS is to completely take care of a small business's web needs. We want to provide services, such as, register domains, provide hosting, web design and development, graphic design, perform search engine optimization and web marketing for our client's. Basically, we want NOVAWS to be a company's online department and this should be a good step in that direction.

New Beginnings

Northern Virginia Web Solutions recently signed a new client, Strategic Alliance Employment & Consulting Services, Inc. and we are really excited to have them on board. But what I am equally excited about is that this will be my first site that I'll be working with a old friend of mine, Ashish Sethi. We worked together at Gannett/USA Today for 3 years and he does amazing work.

Ashish gives us the ability to create Flash web sites and brings 6 valuable years of graphic design experience to the table. Welcome Ashish!

Hokies in the Final Four

So I was doing my annual filling out of the brackets for the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament and decided to do a little research online when I stumbled upon this little gem:

Apparently Michael Freedom, a columnist from cbssportline.com has picked my beloved Hokies to go to the Final Four. I now have newfound respect for this brilliant, noble man. God I hope he’s right. Go Hokies!

Looking for a few good people

My web design company, Northern Virginia Web Solutions, is looking for someone to work on a site for a client located in Fairfax, VA. We need someone to do the HTML, CSS, and graphic work. If your interested please send a resume and portfolio to me at info@novaws.com. We also have several other current and potential projects so this could lead to more work in the future.

Now I've been tagged

My kind girlfriend, Liz over at an OC girl living in an extraordinary world has tagged me.

The rules:
-Grab the book closest to you
-Open to page 123
-Scroll down to the 5th sentence
-Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your blog
-Name of the book and the author
-Tag 3 people

Unfortuantely, I'm at work right now and only have dorky tech books around me. Sorry Lizzie, but thats what happens when you date a software developer. I'll give it a shot anyway.

Choose Site > Locate in Remote Site. (On Windows only, if the Site window is active, choose Edit > Locate in Remote Site.) You can also select the file in the Local Folder and right-click (Windows) control-click (Macintosh) and choose Locate in Remote Site from the context menu.

Very interesting, I know. Now you know how I spend a quarter of my life.

Wanted: A few good seats

If anyone out there has any or knows anyone who has two extra Virginia Tech vs Georgia Tech tickets, please let me know. Please email me at jepalmer24@yahoo.com. Thanks.

JP's Power Rankings - Week 4

Great games this weekend with some upsets, poundings, and last minute victories. As always, opinions are welcome.

JP's Power Rankings for Week 4

1.	USC	2-0	The Trojans just keep on rolling.
2.	Ohio State	3-0	Better not play the way you did versus the Bearcats during the first half against the Nittany Lions this weekend.
3.	Auburn	3-0	They won the annual Battle of the Tigers and their path to the SEC Championship just got a lot easier.
4.	West Virginia	3-0	The Slaton and White attack came out flying against the Terps. They should have an easy time until Louisville.
5.	Michigan	3-0	Huge win in front of Touchdown Jesus should save Lloyd's job for another year.
6.	Florida	3-0	Big win at Rocky Top, only Alabama, LSU, Auburn, Georgia, South Carolina, FSU and possibly the SEC Championship to go.
7.	LSU	2-1	Tough loss on the Plains, but with that much talent they should stay in the Top 10.
8.	Georgia	3-0	Quiety the Bulldogs are marching into the National Championship picture.
9.	Louisville	3-0	They spanked a solid Miami team without Michael Bush and Brian Brohm. It's scary to think how good they could be with both of them healthy.
10.	Virginia Tech	3-0	One more game left in the preseason for the Hokies. Then its time to get to work with Georgia Tech.
