You are probably here because you joined coreos... congrats!
What is SHOJ? It started as an email. Then, when we started using MatterMost a lot, I made it a channel.
If you like consistency, you will not like SHOJ. SHOJ is both omnipotent and dysfunctional. We mainly sell weird items, think Ronco or K-Tel. But we also have a tech company (Quasitech), a bank, and dabble in foreign affairs. We are know by all the global leaders, who call upon us for help sometimes; like security at the Queen's Funeral, or overthrowing a government.
But SHOJ is also continuously broke. Every time we make money, we blow it on something stupid. Think Jeff Foxworthy redneck, not real redneck. We are always looking for money for another case of beer.
So, feel free to post. You can claim SHOJ is involved in almost anything.
If you feel that SHOJ is too silly, feel free to leave the channel. I realize it is not for everybody and will not be offended.
Q: Why is the website so ugly?
A: Thank you. We are trying to go for a geocities look, just
without the glaring colours and minimal animated gifs. We, of
course, have the obligatory "Under Construction". And it is Marc
Perron approved.
Q: What is up with the ISO9001 image?
A: SHOJ has declared itself self-certifying in *all*
standards. This is SHOJ ISO9001 certificate. No standards body
is willing to go up against SHOJ.
Q: Why are the operators sitting by?
A: Because we care about our operators! Here is the original
quote:
"Order yours today! Operators are standing
by... well, actually they are sitting. Why would they stand all
day to answer the phone?"
Q: Why all the talk about mauls?
A: That is really not associated with SHOJ, but I will still
answer. I can't remember when I recommended the maul to answer an
MM question. I wanted a very blunt instrument, but a
sledgehammer was too obvious. So I went with maul... and it went
viral (on QNX MM at least).
