I’ve come across this topic so many times and I thought I write a little post with my two cents on the topic.

Well, as a web developer I use, wait for it… every browsers.. yes when it comes doing any html/css/javascript I test on all of them. That’s my first thought on the subject and the reason I say this, well if your debugging javascript and it works on your lovely Firefox / Chrome / Safari but not on your IE (shudders) then what you going to do? Go and tell all the users they have to use anything but IE or are you going to use IE to debug?

I use Safari for most of my development process. Its fast and reliable on my machine (PowerBook G4). Every now and again I need some extra fetchers that I will find on Firefox that I will use. You might find me using Firefox a bit more if it didn’t run so slow on my laptop. That would be my point in the end of this. What ever runs best on your machine and has the required plug-ins is the best browser. Running a browser that is 3 times slow than another because its the best browser is not a good idea.

Find out which browsers runs best on your machine, make sure its got the required plug-ins for what you are doing and use it. That is the best browser to use. get it? got it? good.

So with the joy’s of the web come everyone having the ability to publish what ever they want and to send information out to the world without confirming they are doing the correct thing.

I have been thinking about this for some time now. My original plan for this web site was to try and improve my writing skills with the opinion of comments left behind but that seems to be a dead end. It has also been coming up in mails I see been sent out by famous people who are not marketing/copywriters but have a great list of people to advertise to.

The main thing I have noticed is people at the end of a message saying ‘Please join’ or ‘Please come’ or just anything with please in it gets me. Using that word just seems like they are begging people to do something instead of making them want to do something.

I see this as bad marketing but since I am not a Marketing person I can be incorrect with this but I would like to hear from people who actually write/sell for a living to know what the correct words should be.
For example changing:

‘Please join me at this event’
to
‘Join me at this event or regret it forever…’

To me, the first one is begging people to come where the second is saying its your problem if you don’t come.

I hope to get some feed back from this little post but till then I will keep reading the web for my answers..

Have a great day :)

Yes, I finally got my account back…

My Brain felt more relaxed though, when i didn’t have the account… Think I should do some research on the effects on the human brain when it comes to information overload.

Have a great weekend.

THESE ARE ENTRIES TO A WASHINGTON POST COMPETITION
ASKING FOR A TWO-LINE RHYME
WITH THE MOST ROMANTIC FIRST LINE,
AND THE LEAST ROMANTIC SECOND LINE:

1. My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife:
Marrying you has screwed up my life.

2. I see your face when I am dreaming.
That’s why I always wake up screaming.

But I only slept with you ’cause I was pissed.

So, I’ve been doing the whole php programming thing for about 5 years. I started off in a beginners job, I studied digital design then went and told a company I was more interested in programming than anything else and they gave me a job. Through this whole process I still don’t have anything saying I am a developer. So to get that sorted out I am doing a Java course. I like the language, you can do more than just web sites with it, so I plan to get good at it. I want to look into the mobile apps mainly as they seem to be big at the moment but not going to limit myself to that.

Slowly getting a few things sorted out, I have work out a way of getting a camera, which involves a lot of nice people and a site where you don’t have to buy a product all at once. I still haven’t found the right site but once I find it I will post up a link.

Been trying to take more photos with what I got but my cell does not produce good photos and the camera I got from my brother just seems to give issues. I will have to glue the damn thing to a rock to make sure it is still enough to take a picture that does not blur. I have looked into the setting to see if there is something I have missed but still not doing it for me.
