Pet Peeves - Engrish 101: Lack of description

My god I know I’m bad when it comes to spelling and english but I wish to god people would describe what they want.

In the past few days I’ve had people ask me various things

Design X for me.

Currently its how much to design a template.

What are your requirements for said template. What you are showing me has actually got multiple different style templates in it. Do you want them all. “I don’t know” …

“Design this for me” .. can you please provide me with more details. “what ever you think”

Any particular colours ? thoughts ? other things you like the look of ?Any details at all ? What does it mean / stand for ?

ARGH!!! ok rant over I’m just on my second coffee so I’m a bit ARGH

( yes I’m aware I probably haven’t described my problem properly :P )

The Chrome Press Event

I actually played with Chrome last night for about 4 minutes and thought … this is nice …

I took a look at this this morning (it was linked to on Tech Crunch)

There are some pretty interesting features gone in there … I like the separation of pages … the ability to create standalone “application” windows … not to mention the sandboxing of the browser to restrict its interaction with the underlying OS.

Other nice features ..

  • Privacy Mode … meaning people can’t track your browsing history
  • Separation of tabs / plugins into their own processes which can “die” independantly and not take down your browser

It does seem fast as hell as well I was running it in a VM this morning on my Mac ..

What do others thing of it ?

FluffyLinkulator.com has gone live

Its with great pride I announce that www.fluffylinkulator.com has gone live.

The team (James, 4 cans of Kick and the cat ) involved on this project took great satisifaction getting this one out the door. (probably cus its a non work site for a change)

The site may be developed at a later date to include more information and I may end up dumping it into MT4 allowing comments and trackbacks hmmm… (It would seem like the way to go)
