Cotton Rohrscheib

I've been an entrepreneur my entire life and have been blessed to have been associated with hundreds of startups and projects throughout my career. A few years ago I started offloading many of my business interests to spend more time w/ my family and retool my focus toward the agricultural industry, ultimately I landed at Farmers Business Network, Inc. w/ a great team of people w/ shared mission / vision and the rest is history! I still operate my personal website & blog occasionally on topics of interest to me including; parenting, agriculture, technology, and whatever else comes my direction! My blog, cotton.buzz, is the product of over 20yrs worth of content, photos, podcasts, videos, etc., and all of the content I produce is mine personally, and only represent my views and/or opinions on topics and do not represent any of the businesses or associations I'm affiliated with.

Microsoft, this will […]

R1Soft- Continuous Data Protection (CDP)

My business partners and I recently made the decision to add another server to our existing network to serve as an off-rack, dedicated backup server. This wasn’t an easy decision for me because I had already grown pretty attached to our disksync synchronization service that we were leasing from The Planet but at the end […]

I wasn’t too surprised to learn the other day that Comcast had purchased, or was fixing to purchase, Plaxo. I have been a loyal Plaxo user for about 10 years or so an absolutely love the service. Not only is it the single best way to stay updated with all of your business and personal […]

Now Feeding to Twitter!

I think I am a little late to the punch on picking up this cool little trick because I have seen some of my friends already using it but I finally took a few minutes to get my mind around Twitterfeed this afternoon. Basically Twitterfeed just feeds your Blog’s RSS Feed (or content) through to […]

Email As a Service…

I ran across a blog entry on smallbiztechnology.com that referenced two companies that we (Pleth Networks, LLC) have worked with in the past and still have a current working relationship with, Maltrust and BlueTie. Both of these companies offer an awesome alternative to hosting your own email in-house or on your web-hosting server. If you […]
