  • Email Signatures – I Hate Them.

    I f-ing hate email signatures. For most part they are useless and only take more space than the actual email content is. In my time of receiving emails and providing customer support I have come across a variety of email signatures and other text and image email appendages that are completely unnecessary. It is rare…

  • Web design and standards. Key word standards!!

    I am working on a new project with my brother and his publishing company. One of my tasks is to set up a new site for his company. One thing I am really, and I mean really, good is modifying things. Be they digital or physical, I can take something and turn it into something…

  • Friendfeed and Twitter – is it time for an intervention?

    I have decided to write this post sort of as an echo of Michael Arrington’s call for an intervention with Robert Scoble’s addiction to Freindfeed and Twitter, who has spend more than 2600 hours interacting with those services. I am rounding up from Michael’s post, because Robert states that he spend at least 7 hours…

  • Follow me NOT! What’s the point?

    On Twitter, a user by the name of Donna Mahony started to follow my domainventory account. She claims to be a domainer of 10 years and supposedly is the founder of Domain Boardroom forums and some other domain awards web site. When she started to follow me I responded in kind and also direct messaged…

  • Twitter – sorry you canNOT delete this message.

    I am pretty sure this is system wide, based on my experience with multiple accounts, but it looks like Twitter has changed who can delete direct messages. In the past either party could delete a message and then it will disappear for both, meaning that there was only one copy of the message. Now only…

  • Developing a business website solo – I underestimated it.

    I have been working on and off on developing a business website with functionality other than this is who we are, this is what we do for some time now. It has been taking me some time now to make some progress on the DomainVentory.com project for Innovadix, because of duties like family, day job…

  • GoDaddy discount lacks the discount. It’s OK though.

    Last week I was contacted by a GoDaddy company representative by the name of Logan, who provided me with a list of my expiring domains  until the end of the year, informed me that he has been assigned to my account and can offer me a discount. I responded to him by asking for more…

  • I was right! Buy Yahoo stock.

    Last week I tweeted that Yahoo’s stock was at $10 per share and it was time to buy. Comments on my tweet said that it is pointless to do so. As I was on my way to New York, I wasn’t able to provide a response to the comments. With today’s reports about Yahoo’s CEO,…

  • Skype and broadband result in happiness.

    Last night, after 10 years, I was able to see my dad live. Thanks to broadband being available, and most of all more affordable, my dad and I were arable to have a video session via Skype. Last time I saw my dad was at the Sofia airport in Bulgaria in August of 1998. Since…

  • Ad4Game.com fix your web forms

    Yesterday morning I tried signing up as ad publisher on Ad4Games.com. I own few gaming sites and want to show more targeted advertisements, so this ad network seemed as a decent choice. I saw them serving banners on few other websites. When I tried to register, the town I live in is comprised of two…
