Make my week – smile at a geek

June 15, 2007 by Tony · 1 Comment 

My last rant at geeks got some great comments from, geeks – they are irrepressable. All they said was kind, humerous and gentle – what can I say ?

If only the ones I have been exposed to were human and could deliver what they promise, but, – twas ever thus…

There are exceptions – Kevin P. – OK you are a third Dan in aikido, but this is not why I say you are a genius and I wish you lived in the south of France, you are a rare animal, but most Internet “experts” are “limited in their abilities related to their perceptions” – in other words it rhymes with “Jodrell Bankers”.

OK, I have had many bad experiences, so too have many of my colleagues – anyone can make a website in a day and be a “web-master” in a week – I have been in the computer networking business for over 45 years (yes fourty five years) a few of my old acquaintances and mentors are billionaires, many more are not (including me) .

I digress, I have recommended FrenchProperty.com before – I have no relationship with them apart from talking to a totally honest team with integrity – now they are publishing reports I should have written myself (“you will dear boy you will “) – their latest report on renting property in France is totally brilliant – accurate and succinct. Letting Property – trumble through their breadcrumbs and you will find other good reports.

  1. Hello Tony,

    Andy of HoboTraveler.com here in Togo, West Africa. I am trying my best to suss out and list essential concepts needed to help a web coder to know. We have this new area on Hobo and maybe it would be of help to explain principles of web design success. I have a couple of technical people working for me and we are adding more, therefore I am slowly adding policy to make web sites to the Hobo Help Center. I am the person who tell them what to do, they do not tell me, I am the SEO expert, they are the coders.

    I would expect the my site looks sloppy and bad, however paying a webmaster to make pretty pictures is easy. Paying one to design the architecture and SEO is close to impossible.
    “Form Follows Function.”

    I live 100 percent from the revenue of my site and can now live easily in the “Cher” country of France if I chose too.

    I have between 7000 and 14,000 unique visitors per day, according to the travel season, school, etc. If you have a particular question, write and I will be very specific and explain our policy.
