Ask a Name.com DEVELOPER…

| 15 Comments

It's a new year and I've decided to create a new type of blog post segment titled "Ask a Name.com EMPLOYEE...", where EMPLOYEE will change based on who our fine customers want to ask questions of next! See the bottom of this post for the rules. Each of these kinds of posts will have a prize for the best question asked, as judged by our staff of highly skilled best question picker outers. The prize this time around? Read on and you will find out soon enough.

Today we will be featuring Pat Ramsey, aka pFro, aka pFro Fo Sho, aka Pat "The Man With A Plan" Ramsey:

Pat Ramsey - Name.com Developer

From the mean streets of Maine, pFro grew up with a love of snow that seems to know no bounds. He enjoys shredding the stuff pretty much every single weekend, sometimes twice. It's a good thing he moved to Colorado where some of the best skiing in the US, and perhaps the world, is just a hop, skip, and a slow agonizing traversal up the automotive gauntlet known as I-70 away. Give this man a pint of ale, a freshly powdered hill, strap some fatty boards to his feet and he's in heaven.

Aside from cutting up the slopes Pat is also equally adept at cutting up some code. PHP and Javascript are his mainstay when he's deep in the bowels of the Name.com trenches but he also likes to dabble with Android development, Nodejs, and cutting edge CSS3 magic. So without further ado, ask away. And ladies, before you ask, the answer is yes, the man is single and his smooth deep voice is like steamed milk and honey on a cold winter's day.

THE RULES:

  • Ask your questions in a comment to this post.
  • Make sure you check out our about us page and let us know who you want to ask questions of next.
  • Not really a rule but you should probably tweet this out to your peeps so that they can get in on the fun.
  • Play nice.

THE PRIZE:

  • A custom video with Pat himself speaking a message of your choice, within reason of course, in his sweet summery baratone voice.

    Are you planning on moving to Wyoming. We've got snow and a cold little lady who could use a buff mister like yourself.

      You're not seriously based out of WYo, are you??

        No, no...not that there's anything wrong with that. But I was testing the comment section as we had some complaints that it wasn't working.

          Haha, yeah, I re-read my comment, and it sounded like I had something against the place. I'm cool with WYo, other than the wind rips parts of my car off every time I drive through there.

    I have many clients who moved their domains from other registrars over to Name.com. They now complain that they had a much better user interface for managing their domains when they were at NetworkSolutions and GoDaddy. Is there anything Name.com is going to do to enhance their UI? Any redesign in the works?

    Thanks!

      I don't use drugs so I cannot relate to those people.

      Okay, you've seen our developer's response (we're glad to see he doesn't do drugs) now here is our official response:

      Yes! We do have an account management revamp under way! We can't nail down an exact timeline for you guys yet as our developer's time is booked out a little ways but the process has begun for sure - see below for a sneak peak!!
      What we'd like to know is what is it that you and your clients like about the NetSol and GD account management interface that you'd like to see us incorporate? This is a great opportunity for us to solicit some feedback that we can bring back to the team as they work through the redesign.Thanks for the question!

    Pat-
    Is transferring domains from GoDaddy easy enough that I could do it on my iPhone skiing down Spaulding Bowl at Copper Mountain?

    • http://twitter.com/livet0ski Pat Ramsey

      While our transfer process is super easy, it is unfortunately something that is not supported in our mobile app currently. Is that something you would like to see? I also wouldn't recommend doing it while skiing. I lost my iPhone in the sidecountry of Beaver Creek around this time last year.
