Pegged at the "Feast" End of the Meter
I've commented previously about how my business is subject to a "feast or famine" cycle. It seems that I'm either up to my eyeballs in work, or I'm blogging. And I've been blogging a lot lately.
The pendulum has begun to swing the other way, as I've landed two new clients today, with several others in the "thinking about it" stage. Both clients are well known names in the Midland community; that's all I'll say at this point. But it appears that blogging may be light for a bit, while I try to make a meager contribution to the bill-paying capacity of our household. I do have a couple of posts in mind for later today, but please bear with me if I seem to disappear for a while after that.
You could find a lot less enjoyable ways to pass the time than paying a visit to the good folks linked at right, by the way!
Eric, I recently noticed that you designed the Downtown Midland Inc. website (downtownmidland.org). Is there another website that has current information, as that website hasn't been updated in over 2 years.
Posted by: Bert at April 30, 2004 01:22 AMBert, I'm not aware of another site. I gave up on that organization years ago (literally). For a while, I tried regularly to convince them of the importance of keeping their site up-to-date, and the reaction was always "oh, yeah...we'll get right on it!" And then...nothing.
What's really strange is that all my services are donated. It's not like there's a budget issue involved.
The site design is really lame and needs an update, and I considered doing a re-work, but I've decided I'm not going to do anything until I see a commitment by the organization to keep it current.
It's a little unrealistic to think that any outsiders are going to commit to downtown revitalization if the organization itself can't keep its own website "vitalized"!
(Sorry about the rant.)

True, but they don't have pictures of Abbye!
