Why I love the Internet, reason number 527

Perry de Havilland (London) How very odd!

For web design that hurts, you really need to visit...

You want a website.
You don't know what kind of website you want.

Give us your money and piss off.
When it's ready, we'll call.

$500 for a MT-powered blog that you openly hand over all design aspects? Sounds like an unregulated market! The uninformed feeble-minded jackasses of the Internet might be exploited!

Of course, the index girl looks like Princess Leia...where's my wallet?

Ah, the smack of firm government....

Thatcherites, eat your hearts out!

Most sensible client-relations policy I've seen. Idiot clients screw up 99% of programming jobs. Telling them to pay up, shut up, and take what they're given would be a breath of fresh air to any coder.

*grins, laughs* could I trade that in for a job interview instead?

Well...I could use a new towel boy. The hours are gruelling and the pay is the privelege of being idly whipped when I'm bored...

Hmm. My line's more programming, emphasis in serverside code (perl, java, zope, SQL etc) on unix. And the pay would have to be money - but I'd accept low pay and long hours, for the opportunity to do genuinely productive work. I've just gotten so tired of having to code up the ideas of idiots...

I'll tell you what, Julian, should I have a need for something that hefty, I shall certainly flick my exquisitely manicured fingernails in your direction.

Accepted, and thanks.

Very interesting
