Adrian Weckler’s column this week doesn’t mention facebook, but he does cover EULAs and the demise of HD DVDs. (I can’t seem to find either article on the SBPost site)
Argos has opened in Carlow, so I’m going to see how bad the traffic is shortly. Hopefully the bypass will help take some of the traffic away from the town, as the commercial centres must be suffering. I’m currently in the market for DVD storage solutions and a new TV stand, so I’ll be heading to a few of the shops around the town this afternoon to see what’s available and at what price.
AJ has an interesting post about security. His focus is on what the search engines are indexing and highlights some common mistakes.
Tonight is the Oscars. I’d love to stay up and watch them live, but I’ve got to be awake for work in the morning! The Academy is offering some really cool posters again this year including one celebrating 80 years of best picture. It won’t be shipping until after the ceremony (obviously)
While working on one of my quieter blogs I realised that Google Analytics wasn’t installed BUT the Google Analytics web interface happily told me that it was. Moral of the story – don’t trust them!
I’d love to be able to report some of the odd sales and support queries we get, but this week we’ve had one that I can mention:
- caller number 1 who wins the prize for odd sales query of the month wanted to know if we ran an escort service
- caller number 2 wanted to apply for a technical role and asked what a PDF was. And no – their native language was English!
From Grannymar:
I swear I was not caller No 1 !
From Michele Neylon:
Course you weren’t *cough*

And in case anyone cares .. the traffic around Carlow on a Sunday afternoon renders any plans on visiting Argos impossible
