Steven (Rack 911)
Can anybody recommend someone who has the skill set of Steven Ciaburri from Rack911. I would love to have worked with Steven, but he has been completely unreachable for months.
Steven was amazing in his abilities. I have never worked with anyone as good as him. However, he has not once responded to several requests. It is a shame, really. I liked him, and thought he was going to be invaluable to me.
So, I really need someone who is a proficient in all areas as Steven. Any ideas?

Are you contacting him via email? Have you tried to email him from a different server?

I usually hire my guys locally so I can't really give you a recommendation except hiring locally gives you a chance to meet the guy your going to trust with your servers. =)

I also need to replace Steven from Rack911... He was the best programmer at the best price, nobody came close in my 20 years of doing this... It's unfortunate he had to disappear again like he did... He was on top as one of the best for years, then dropped out of sight for a while and lost his core base and following... then came back with a bang and wanted to regain his status, but just as he was beginning to reach that wonderful plateau again, he drops off the face of the planet again for 6 months... If someone can strap him into a straight jacket and place him in front of the computers, we would all be in great shape... until then, please keep the recommendations coming for his amazingly wonderful replacement...
Thanks.

I've heard good things about Scott @ admingeekz.com but no personal experience with him.

Scott is the only one I found so far that can do what Steven does, but Steven does it a LOT cheaper...

What exactly are you looking to accomplish? Not many people know what Steven does / did so perhaps you could describe the tasks you need assistance with in general.

Check out scott-mc @ http://www.admingeekz.com/ -- can't go wrong. He's responsive, a tad less inexpensive but overall worth it for the additional communication. He's very thorough.

Uhhh...I've seen Steven on quite awhile now, have you not been able to remain in contact with him? Or are you saying he's just been real busy lately?

If you just got hacked I'd find someone that can sort the mess quickly rather than try to chase Steven if you're having no luck.

yeah, i've got someone working on it now, but really don't want anyone else in there... i've had dedicated servers for almost 20 years... to date, i never found anyone i truly liked except for Steven... too many techs are sloppy, make changes and forget to turn them back, leave trash behind, screw up configurations of other things, while fixing others... they don't have any sense of ownership, so they screw everything up... this guy tom from linux-tech actually made my servers worse, charged me $500 and then deleted everything he did when he left, leaving me in even more of a mess... the guy straight up robbed me... the main reason steven was helping me was because he was upset with tom for doing this to me... i've been through so many losers, just want to stick with the winners so i can get my work done and not spend my whole life trying to resolve server issues... then another tech comes along and tries to fix things and they say, "man' who are all these losers screwing up your configurations?"... then Steven comes along and fixes everything and then disappears into thin air... so i pretty much fear that having other techs working on my servers are going to land me in the same boat i was in before Steven... so now i'm just screwed again... this sucks.

Never thought of hiring someone local? you can meet him in person and see who your dealing with.

Happen to me months back. Was going to bring it public but did not.. He talked me into buying a new machine elsewhere for a move and then went MIA for 5 days when he said he would complete the move that night. Long story short he refunded my money and I had to put someone else on the job.
Guy knows what he's doing but is to lazy to run a business.

yes, that is exactly why I went with him, he is local.

I would suggest looking into hiring a professional COMPANY as opposed to these one-off server tech guys that are fly by night.

that's a perfect price, 100 a month vs. 100 an hour for admingeekz, see the difference?
not saying admingeekz is not worth every single penny, they definitely are, i just simply cannot afford them right now, that's all... just an unfortunate situation i am in, thanks to everyone for your concern, support and feedback, i am truly grateful.
