404
August 31, 2008 on 11:02 pm | In Uncategorized | Comments OffSome things are actually shocking. Like today, websites seem to get more annoying with popups. I went to this one site, and there was not one popup on any of the pages. Not one. I could actually mind my own business and do what I wanted to do and figure out what resource I wanted to use for more information about 404 . Amazing. No, actually, it was quite shocking to say the least!

August 31, 2008 on 1:59 pm | In Uncategorized | Comments OffI was chatting with my friends yesterday about Index books. They didn’t realize that most libraries now have their card files on the Internet; they don’t even have to drive there to see if their books are available! All they have to do is log onto the library site and search for Index . I think they’re very happy about knowing this tip; it will save them lots of time.
404 Not Found
August 31, 2008 on 11:29 am | In Uncategorized | Comments OffA few months ago a friend of mine paid a web designer $650 bucks for a simple website for her business. Ok, maybe that’s a fair price; if you can’t do it yourself you have to hire someone. But now the web designer wants $50 an hour to make small changes, like the dates of classes on the website. Stop, I say, I know just barely enough FrontPage to be dangerous, and we can edit this ourselves. We made lots of backups, and laughed our way through 4 hours of editing this thing. It’s fun to teach someone who is basically new to computers how the whole internet thing works, I even showed her some of my searching techniques, helping her search on 404, her next project.
