Altadenablog welcomes our new sponsor, www.binary-monk.com.
Binary-Monk is an Altadena-based web hosting service run by, appropriately, an Abbott -- K. Zachary Abbott, a 17-year Altadena resident. With three levels of plans (The Novice, the Brother, and the Abbot), binary-monk can set up a business or personal website that's easy to manage, with easy-to-set-up email accounts, FTP accounts, and mailing lists. Features are totally customizable according to your needs.
The Abbott says, "I've been building/selling/repairing computers since 1994, have been in business as MyPCBiz since 1997, and in the web hosting business for about a year now.
"MyPCBiz grew out of a hobby and has been my primary "side business" since 1997 - I build custom desktop and laptop computers, sell pre-built computers and other hardware, and also do repairs and consulting.
"I followed the adage 'Find something you love doing so much you would do it for free, then make yourself so good at it that people will pay you to do it.' I guess it worked, because as well as running MyPCBiz for 12 years, I've spend my weekdays as a Senior Systems Administrator at Caltech since September 2003."
Why Binary Monk? "Binary Monk was started by a good friend who has moved on to the priesthood; I took over the business so he would be free to dedicate his time to ministry. I liked the name, though, and since I also have an M.Div. (from Fuller) but work in computers, I thought it was a good fit.
"We take our cue from Jeff Smith, a.k.a. The Frugal Gourmet - that is to say, while we will not always be the least expensive, we strive to provide our customers with the best value for the money in all things - whether that be our products, service, or advice. "
