Looking for a lacky

11 22nd, 2006 Author: Administrator

Well today was a first, I have been interviewing for a lacky. Basically we are in need of a webmonkey. The work load that I have been given I am clearly not keeping up with. So we posted a job on monster and have been interviewing.
This is a real first for me. I've never interviewed anyone in my whole life and I'm suprisingly good at it. We booked in two people , the first one was a girl called Rebecca Coleman who didn't even bother to turn up. We waited around, but she couldn't even be bother to give us a call to say, “Hi this is Rebecca Coleman I can't be naffed to come along.“. So It was a bit of a wasted trip that one for me.
The second guy was lovely, just not really what we were looking for, I in part feel sorry for him, because he wanted to be a web developer, however he didn't really have any experience, had done a degree in media, which is the kiss of death in the job market. The thing with developer is it is a vskill which is very much learnt over time, and at the begining hiring a devloper with no experience would take ages to get him up to a level where he was useful. He kept say I would be very willing to to go on any course you want. The problem is in this age, you don't really have time to invest in people like that, I don't wan to pay to train him, I just want someone to do the job. Plus I've been ona lot of thoose course and god they are a pile of crap, mostly.

Finally we seem to be progressing with the site.
Well I've totally finished the omnilux pages

Here is my latest find. A weekly comic strip Alien Loves Predator by Bernie Hou. It's a joke aimed at the Alien and Predator films. The idea is rather than ripping each other throats out here they are bum buddies. The star are Abe the Alien (impulsive, socially inept and sex starve) and Preston the Predator who usually plays the straight man.

Cool Website!

01 07th, 2006 Author: Administrator

Stuff on my cat is one of the funniest websites I have seen for a long time!

Since cats have the kind of expression that says this is so below me, it's so funny to do odd things to them. This website has really taken advantage of this. It's so funny that even cat haters will enjoy it.
