Experimenting at work

The other two Leaders and I are trying to experiment a bit with new ways to get in touch with or fellow Robocitans and mantain the city with the resources we have.

It’s like when we do a market research online: we need to get quality consumer data to be able to improve our politics and decisions regarding marketing and finance administration. Robocity is our hands, and obviously you can understand how much work we Leaders have on our hands when it comes to keep it all balanced. We need to keep track of the citizens’ consumes to understand what we need to do to improve the city’s overall well-being AND mantain everyone in a decent living condition.

Even online, we Leaders are going to setup a consumer panel to get our citizens to share more about their feelings and dis/satisfaction about the services we provide the rest of the crew with.

Personally, I’m going to experiment a market research panel (like uSamp) on a section of my website and involve the other Leaders and a few Robocitans as testers. If needed, we’ll start getting more feedback from the citizens ONLINE rather than offline, since over the years the population has grown a lot, and it would be impossible to reunite all of them in the Meeting Room; nowaday every Robocitan has a computer with a Internet connection, so it’s going to be a lot easier to get feedback this way.

Also, we’re developing a series of websites that have the precise purpose of keeping our citizens informed about every little and big event and decision that involves the city and our little community.

Granted, we’re going to need the Robocitans to collaborate on this project, but hopefully they will do it willingly. :) This should be exactly what we needed in so many years.

Robocity can’t close its heart

I’m amazed at the big number of robots who recently became Robocity citizens! :) This must be the greatest record in all our town’s history, and I’m really happy that the other two Leaders agreed when I proposed to re-open the immigration process! Now poor and scrapped robots can find a refuge in Robocity again, just like our beloved Founder had wanted in the first place.

What would Robocity ever be without its open heart to the ones in need? This town was born for that purpose, and thus closing the doors to immigrants would be killing it at its very heart. No, Robocity just CAN’T close. Never.

Actually, I hope more Robocitans are going to join in the next months. Yes, I do hope that, because only more citizens can make this city grow up and mature at its own core. AND we welcome human beings too! They would need other permissions too, but you see, human beings are not kicked out of here: our Leader Shotfire, for instance, has a human girlfriend and a human adopted son, and they’re sweet people to cohabit with. I really have nothing against humans, and I hope others in Robocity think alike too.

Anyway, I’m off to sleep now. Tomorrow I got to go out and buy a few chevy accessories for a friend, so I need to wake up early.

See ya.

I might get another domain soon

My nap didn’t last too long. My family bugged me again, gah! =_= I’m awake once again, but I feel slightly better, and that’s the one good thing about this (too) short nap. Heh.

Now I’m spending time reading web hosting news on WebHostingGeeks.com. They’re interesting, and anyway I was thinking already about getting another webhosting sooner or later. Blue Host? InMotion? Or a cheap reseller? Well, something. I want another web hosting account because I don’t want to keep taking advantage of my friends’ kindness and availablity in giving me free space on their accounts. It wouldn’t be fair. I want to return somehow. :)

So you see, I might be the one hosting others sometime! :D And I got another big news:

I haven’t put up the hosting page yet, but you can apply already by sending me an email to megatron95@gmail.com ^_^ I would give you: 40MB of free space, loads of bandwidth, a free email forwarder yourname@eileenson.org, FTP account and a subdomain yourname.eileenson.org. Is that enough? :P Hehe, I guess it is.

Right now, my hostees are my brothers Cyclonus and Galvatron, but it’ll be nice to have someone who’s not part of the family too. :) I hope many of you will apply, and I’ll let you know when I buy the new domain too! That’ll be after my birthday though, I tell you: I need the money first, eheh. :P I’m short on money lately, and I really need to save up again for many things, including this project.

Anyway, uhm… sorry about not blog hopping lately. As you might have read in my previous post written today, I’ve had a crazy week, and an even more crazier one is coming soon. x_x A Leader’s life is not easy, especially when you’re a young kid! But oh well, I can say I’m a grown-up already at least. ;) It makes you feel more important, ahah.
