Intro Video Recorded Live Via Ustream
I had an impromptu idea this morning to record a welcome to OCB video and coffee roaster introduction. I think it turned out pretty good considering I was using a little netbook to stream the video through. If I ever get a better more capable streaming gadget the video will get better. The audio is from a decent headset and sounds great.

Small Load Of Coffee Today
I picked up 2 bags of Brazil Mogiana Yellow Bourbon, 1 bag of Mexico Chiapas and 1 bag of a new crop Sumatra that I want to roast and cup before I list it. Prices stayed close to the same so I might not even need to adjust the sites pricing, just quantities.
Coffee Inventory Update
I just want to post a quick note that we are low on inventory of some coffees. I am hoping to be able to make a coffee run to Cafe Imports tomorrow. I will update the site when I know if I can.

Rwanda Coffee Special Newsletter Sent Twice
This is kind of a Coffee Of The Week! Sale ends Jan 21 2012.
Well I will apologize right here and now for any extra emails sent today. I am still working out the kinks with the new server settings. It was bouncing my own emails back to my bounce handling software and goofing things up. I had the host set the settings higher to send when I want it to. I just had to start my bounce count over so I didn’t lose any contacts that want the newsletter. And for those of you who did not get it here you go….
Our Coffee Barn
I had issues during the first sending of this email, Sunday morning. I hope this goes out to everybody! The Rwanda is truly a great coffee! You know how much I LOVE Coffee and to get me to say “Wow” it’s good!

Take some time to read the full description on Our Coffee Barn, it has a testimonial from a grower writen to the coop that she sells her coffee to.

I love our coffee barn. they are consistently reliable, responsive, and helpful (even when i make mistakes in my order). The product is excellent too!
We Have A New Server!
We tried out a cloud based server for hosting our website and it just didn’t work very well, site was down 3 times in one week. No extended down time but still too much for me.
We have been using GlowHost for many years now and we love the way they help us out! This new server is huge!
4x 3.2 GHz cores
8 MB L3 Cache
2 GB DDR3 RAM
1x 1 TB SATA HDD
4 Hotswap Drive Bays
And they are keeping the price within $1 per month of the cloud server!
The switch is done! Faster site now!
I might just use this new server as a back up for our family photos and movies too!
