We offer the following Webmasters FAQ to answer questions
you might have about us and our Chai! website.
Do we drink chai?
|
Yes, we both love chai! But, Gary drinks fresh
ground coffee and Jan drinks Earl Grey tea as our
daily fare. We prefer to make our own chai from
fresh ingredients, so it is always a special
'moment' when we do have a cup.
|
|
|
Are we chai experts?
|
NO! But the web site has given us wonderful
insight into this great drink. We know so much more
about chai than we did just a few years ago!
|
|
|
Why do we like chai?
|
It tastes wonderful, smells good, and is
calming. Gary first drank tea with milk in England
and loved it. Drinking chai is always relaxing and
soothing for us - we have had many 'special
moments' drinking chai.
|
|
|
Any favorite brand of chai?
|
Since we live close to Boulder, Colorado we have
enjoyed a nice choice of chai products for years.
We have tried many but are careful not to endorse
any. We do enjoy the foods of India and always
order chai when we eat at Indian resturants. Gary
sometimes orders a chai latte instead of coffee at
Starbucks.
|
|
|
How about a chai chat room?
|
Gary likes the idea but simply does not have
time - he already spends way too many hours in
front of a computer and we both wade through tons
of email. We have talked about having someone else
run a chai chat room which we could link to.
|
|
|
Why do we use Greywolf?
|
Gary registered the greywolf.com domain name
years ago. However, he recently sold it so our chai
website now has a generic URL. We continue to use
the name since we like it and it helps identify our
Chai! site.
|
|
|
Why did we start this site?
|
We couldn't find any useful information about
chai in 1995. We thought an online resource would
be a good way to collect info and share it with the
widest audience.
|
|
|
Why no HTML frames?
|
Gary hates frames! Simplicity and clarity have
always been key to Gary's web designs. This site is
designed for use by readers throughout the world
who - including those with limited speeds and
equipment.
|
|
|
Considered advertising?
|
Commercials run against our spirit. Ads on this
site would introduce a new level of hassle that we
are not equipped for. This is a hobby for us, not a
business and we want to enjoy the time we spend
here.
|
|
|
Who did the graphic design?
|
Gary always does all his own artwork. The flower
motif and color scheme were derived from a painting
of an Indian carpet.
|
|
|
Considering a book?
|
We often think that all this wonderful
info would make a great little booklet. One
publisher has approached us and Jan likes the idea.
Gary likes the concept of online community -
sharing freely for the benefit of all.
|
|
|
Do we have other web sites?
|
Oh yes! Gary is webmaster for six other web
sites and will be building another large site this
summer. However, he is trying to reduce his online
activities - it about burnt him out two years
ago.
|
|
|
Where do we live and work?
|
We live in beautiful Colorado - Littleton to be
exact (just south of Denver). We have both been
professional computer analysts for years. Gary
worked at Colorado SuperNet for 3 yrs where he
spent all his waking time on the Internet. He and
Jan now both work at Lockheed Martin.
|
|
|
Do we have children?
|
Yes, two boys in their 20's. Our 'future'
daughter in law introduced us to chai while they
were students at CU in Boulder. Our younger son
plays college football at Adams State College.
|
|
|
Other interests?
|
Jan makes quilts, reads lots, and enjoys cooking
(a TV cooking show junkie!). We both like
independent and foreign movies and enjoy most forms
of the arts. Gary was a humanities major in
college.
