As a little thing inspired by malarchy who runs this similar feature at times, I am going to start posting the good, bad and damn right odd search results that can get you to this ole website. I plan to do this a bit of an end of the month thing (plans of mice and worn out women and all that). This month has been a rather busy one moving home to mediatemple and the new flavour. If nothing else the search results leading like rainbow coloured sugar coated oddness to this site certainly point to me having to be a bit more careful in my spelling. Yep, sarcasm bit me on the arse with the entry that included “Opera Winfrey Plastic Surgery”. I guess I better get faster building of that spell check module in order - doh!.
Just when I was about to reside myself to loosing my blackberry sync with the death of my vaio….. Blackberry has announced a free download of mac sync software. Ah, all is right with the world and I can be in sync shortly.
It is now confirmed I am the cowardly lion out of the wizard of oz. Yep I am yellow and a member of the simpsons. After some long winded confusion with the Insurance company I am soon to be the proud (I really hope I will be proud) owner of a new powerbook 15 inch. The decision was a rather more hard one that it should have been. In the end I aired on the side of seen it, touched it, liked it, know it. Not a bad final decision.
I guess it is just another hat that you have to wear being a web designer, but you really can’t afford to ignore basic business principles. No matter what website you are launching or involved in, from the smallest blog to the biggest community mammoth. The basic business principles all apply. I would always suggest as a starting point to treat any website like a business in itself.
As of last night the insurance company has signed my sony vaio’s death warrent. Yep the vaio has left the building and I am now wearing black and getting goth flash backs. The result of the now insurance company offical "freak incident" was among many other things, a shattered mother board and a squashed processor - being flat not sure how squashing would hurt them anymore but still sounds painful.
Why do the simple words "don’t panic" instantly result in any normal sane person turning into a screaming idiot? Along with the usual fact that put in front of a computer a rather too large percentage of humans turn into gibbering wrecks with the intelligence of slugs with crayons stuck up their noses; you utter these words and will receive instant floor show panic. It’s like some japanese toy wind up and watch them go scene. Next time someone has some IT related disaster try those fearful words and watch the mind dribbling insanity. If nothing else it makes a Friday afternoon pass quicker.
