Superb CS from Auctomatic

01/12/2007

Unusual to see me praising someone I know, but there are rare exceptions: I had a little trouble logging on to Auctomatic earlier this morning, some kind of bizarre SSL redirect problem, and a few minutes later an email popped into my Inbox telling me they’d spotted me having trouble and they’ll be back rsn.

Twenty minutes later a second email arrives telling me I’m ready for road, and true enough I’m all logged in for another sconce around now. Thanks Philip, I appreciate it. Please, make sure ye keep that kind of proactive support going, ye won’t regret it.

Now lads, have ye set it up so I can import a bunch of SKUs yet? I bought a barcode scanner special… adam wanders off

The Cuteness!

I defy you not to think this is the cutest thing ever!

Fair dues to the Scrubs gang for helping the guy out.

Daniel Craig Denies Four More Bonds

01/12/2007

Cute hoor. I just hope he doesn’t try a Friends on it, the Brocollis are tough nuts and won’t take kindly to someone cutting into their enormous profits. They’d be fools to let him go though, he’s the best Bond since Connery.

Twitter and the Twits

01/12/2007

It’s not me bitching about the spastic nature of Twitter, MySpace, Bebo et al this time, but Rick.

The Post Money Value: A guy wants to come by and pitch his idea.  No problem, come by Tuesday at 3p.  Ok, very cool, so excited to meet you, heard so many things about you, amazing firm you have, etc, etc.

Twitter entry: “Is relieved to have finally, gotten one of these asshole VCs to meet with me on Tuesday, stay tuned, gotta pucker up for this clown.”

Think maybe that guy should look in the mirror, he might spot a red nose. He’ll certainly be seeing a red face. Retard.

Scott Adams: Blogging Not Good For Business

26/11/2007

The so-called “blogosphere” pimps won’t like what Scott has to say about his experiences.

I hoped that people who loved the blog would spill over to people who read Dilbert, and make my flagship product stronger. Instead, I found that if I wrote nine highly popular posts, and one that a reader disagreed with, the reaction was inevitably “I can never read Dilbert again because of what you wrote in that one post.” Every blog post reduced my income, even if 90% of the readers loved it. And a startling number of readers couldn’t tell when I was serious or kidding, so most of the negative reactions were based on misperceptions.

Irish courts take tough line on data protection

26/11/2007

The Register: The Irish legal system has deployed the ultimate weapon in the war against inadvertent loss of confidential data – a foolproof system of outside contractors coupled to shredders which ensures that no potentially sensitive information is ever read by anyone.

In a successful test run of the new scheme last week, all of the mail delivered to Dublin’s Four Courts on Tuesday was destroyed without being opened. The Courts Service later attributed the trashing to “an outside contractor [who] mistakenly added two bags of mail to bags of documents for shredding”.

The service is now rather marvellously “asking people who may have sent post to the Four Courts in the past few days to find out whether it was received or not”, as RTÉ explains.
