Hi,

We just got latest electricity bill, almost $800... :(

Unfortunately holiday season was very slow and we cannot afford running computers 24/7 for the Rosetta project any more.

I hope it is temporary - the business is picking up slowly but still - it is not like we earn as much as we should to have cash for all bills and debt payments (we used our savings in last two months).

But I am not writing this post to complain. I am wondering if you guys can help us to get some additional income? We are render farm (the cheapest on the market) and animation studio.

If you have any contacts, maybe some of your friends or business contact is doing 3D animation or visualisation and have need to use farm from time to time, why not to use the cheapest one? Maybe someone want commercial / science or engineering visualisation, or any other kind of animation? Please share our link.

(note for moderators, if you think that is breach of the rules and it is a commercial advertisement and you feel like it should be deleted, please do, I wont post it again if it will get deleted, so do not ban me for it, please. ;) )

Cheers

PS I am feeling really bad about all this situation but I will do my best to be back ASAP. :)

I think this would be better off in Cafe Rosetta.
Its not really a number crunching topic.

Well you're definitely not short of computer power!

I think it's fair enough advertising your business if the project benefits directly from that. Hope you get the business soon ;)
