It's All Over Now Baby Blue
While I’m working on business KPIs and online marketing, I listen to the Grateful Dead belt out Dylan’s “It’s All Over Now Baby Blue.”

Commenting on registration and comments at TheDailyTimes.com
Registration and Comments are among the enhancements we've been working on at TheDailyTimes.com and the process goes something like this:

- We decide whether it is work that can be done in-house, in a reasonable amount of time and cost, or whether we need to contract with a vendor.

Now I realize [...]
