JDB Works - Web Development Information Blog

Damn, It’s Been 3 Months since I posted here, Where does the time go? Well for one thing I’ve been wortking like a dog on my Cooking blog Chef Benwa Cooks.

It has really turned out to be a lot of work trying to remember the recipes from my 20 years as a Chef. Then to produce the recipes, take photos, right copy, and all the other stuff that comes with it.

Well I going to have to come up with some sort of scedule to keep myself on task. Any ideas floating around out there?

Here somethings I found:

Going to visit with Mom today, and then my son and I are going to to the Police/Elvis Costello concert this evening. How about a couple funny images I ran across on the internet this past week.

Wonder why this never took off?

Looks like the Swedish Chef is up to no good. Frog Legs Provincial anyone?

Promises, promises.

Well I guess thats enough for today. See you later.

Two boys were walking home from Sunday school after hearing strong preaching about the devil. One said to the other, “What do you think about all this Satan stuff?” The other boy replied, “Well, you know how Santa Claus turned out. It’s probably just your Dad.”

Defendant (after being sentenced to 90 days in jail):
May I adress the court?

Judge: Of course.

Defendant: If I called you a son of a bitch,
what would you do?

Judge: I’d hold you in contempt and assess an
additional five days in jail.

Defendant: What if I thought you were a son of a bitch?

Judge: I can’t do anything about that.
There’s no law Against thinking.

Defendant: In that case, I think you’re a son of a bitch.

And Beat the Horse till it is completely dead and dried up.

A little boy was doing his math homework. He said to himself, “Two plus five, that son of a bitch is seven. Three plus six, that son of a bitch is nine.”
His mother heard what he was saying and gasped “What are you doing?”
The little boy answered “I’m doing my math homework, Mom.”
“And this is how your teacher taught you to do it?” the mother asked.
“Yes”, he answered. Infuriated, the mother asked the teacher the next day, “What are you teaching my son in math?”
The teacher replied, “Right now, we are learning addition.”
The mother asked, “And are you teaching them to say two plus two, that son of a bitch is four?”
After the teacher stopped laughing, she answered, “What I taught them was, two plus two, THE SUM OF WHICH, is four.”

Well almost, GoDaddy has announced that April 29th is from here forward to be Webmaster Day.

GoDaddy is doing their part by offering eCards to send to your under appreciated webmaster.

This is a true story from the WordPerfect Help line which was transcribed from a recording monitoring the customer care department. Needless to say, the Help Desk employee was fired however, he is currently suing the WordPerfect organization for termination without Cause. This is the actual dialogue of a former WordPerfect Customer Support employee (now I know why they record these conversations)

Rich Hall computer assistance; may I help you?

Yes, well, I’m having trouble with WordPerfect.

What sort of trouble?

Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away.

Went away?

They disappeared.

Hmmm. So what does your screen look like now?

Nothing.

Nothing?

It’s a blank; it won’ t accept anything when I type.

Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out?

How do I tell?

Can you see the C: prompt on the screen?

What’s a sea-prompt?

Never mind, can you move your cursor around the screen?

There isn’t any cursor: I told you, it won’t accept anything I type.

Does your monitor have a power indicator?

What’s a monitor?

It’s the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when it’s on?

I don’t know.

Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that?

Yes, I think so.

Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it’s plugged into the wall.

Yes, it is.

When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one?

No.

Well , there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable.

Okay, here it is.

Follow it for me, and tell me if it’s plugged securely into the back of your computer.

I can’t reach.

Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is?

No.

Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over?

Oh, it’s not because I don’t have the right angle it’s because it’s dark.

Dark?

Yes, the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window.

Well, turn on the office light then.

I can’t.

No? Why not?

Because there’s a power failure.

A power……. a power failure?…. Aha, Okay, we’ve got it hacked now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in?

Well, yes, I keep them in the closet.

Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from.

Really? Is it that bad?

Yes, I’m afraid it is.

Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them?

Tell them you’re too stupid to own a computer.

I’ve been trying to get my computer back up and running, Lost my hard drive and my backup. So it’s been a solid week of tying to get my data off my busted hard drive and looking through all my various backup disks. Just tons of fun.

So now that everything is back to normal I can start working on an update, so stay tuned.

Well it been a frick’en month since my last post. I have been busy though. I have been working on my cooking blog Chef Benwa and of course there is the 9 hours a day spent at my real job, Global Vision Eyewear. And the other 2 sites that I manage for Global Vision. Avis Safety Glasses Retailers web site and Avis Safety Glasses Industrial web site. Lets not forget my photography site, photography.jdbworks.com.

I have also been trying to generate some interests in my work through some of the ever popular social networking site such MySpace, Facebook, Squido and others.

So that is it for today, hopefully it won’t be a month till I return.
