A Question… Is Netscape Better than Dig?

I would say Yes; “or, at least in my opinion it is.As the new version of Netscape is just over a year old now, it seemed like a good time to fairly compare Netscape and Digg, the 2 most popular social news media sites. Pronet did a good job going over the , as they did for .”

Fox News left their image directory open!

As it seems Fox News left their image directory open… means, publicly indexed… and most of the images are no better than your common image macro. This is something a webmaster never should do. But, I think their webmaster just took out on holidays. ;) Yep, end of July… But…. But…. maybe this is another political trick.. Remember; Presidential Campaign? Who knows. This is just my oppinion. Those days I can really think of anything. There are a lot of images there; personally didn’t had the time to check them all, but, be sure that someone welse will do that for us all.

So, again:

Dealing with window salesman

A quick recap

In case you missed it, you probably know how it is, you’re just sitting down to dinner (perhaps in front of your favourite TV show) when the phone rings, Hello, can I speak to the person responsible for your gas/electricity/telephone/bills, please?

This is a real conversation, I promise nothing has been made up.

The double glazing salesman

Salesman

Malarkey
I’m sorry Jim, I don’t want to waste your time, we haven’t got windows.
Salesman
No windows?
Malarkey
No, we live in a caravan.
Salesman
But caravans have windows don’t they?
Malarkey
Well we did have… but now we just use cling-film. Not the ordinary kitchen stuff mind, you know, that thick stuff that they wrap around palettes and comes on a big roll. We wrap it around the van a few times and when it gets dirty we just replace it.
Salesman
You’re having me on?
Malarkey
No, I’m deadly serious.
Salesman
(Sniggering) But that can’t be very secure… can it?
Malarkey
That’s why we have a big dog (false woof) WOOOOFF!
Salesman
(Silence)
Malarkey
Err, hello…
