Reading first, makes the difference

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

Often when I see people asking about technical details or problems first, not making any effort to find the answer or information themself I tell them about RTFM (Read The Fucking Manual) might help.

Today I was confronted with some different kind of person "not" reading first.

Running a community portal site, I’m used to get the one or other email by people asking me about. Just today I really thought about the actual inquiry as funny and worth to write about here.

By directly pointing out on my pages the subscribing and contributing is free of any charge, reading this line here was rather funny:

"I am now a member but have not had good success booking so my husband wants me out (now) please help me cancle my membership before he is charged wiath another bill,(PLEASE)"

…………..   yeah, "reading" does help a lot!!!

Some help out there?

Yeah, I know that I wrote about I will turn quite for a while … but but …. now I really fear I recently did run brain flat and this here might be the last chance to get help! BIG GULP

Not even I recently bought this fruit to work with … IMAGINE … I start to like it. Unpacking it was a great pleasure. Starting it up and seeing it was configured in seconds was nearly devilish making me immediately more interested. Since then it goes quicker and quicker and I really fear there is no end anymore.

But But … Today I even bought a new pushy! :-|

You know those curious things on two wheels running without the most essential part ………………………………..  help! 

With a little help of a friend

Monday, February 11th, 2008

I’m aware that I’m in general and often a difficult person to deal with. I can be an angel (at least sometimes), but I also can be the devil in person! And excepting help from someone else - even asking for it a few years ago, would have being something out of question for me.

Now nearly one year ago about designing a web page I had to deal with a nasty issue I wasn’t able to fix instantly. About me trying to fix it, the publishing of the pages got delayed by the customer. Today being confronted with that issue again, I decided to asked a friend for help …. which I got! And perhaps there is still hope for me?! :-|

Guess my friend did instantly know the answer, just handed over to me only the key to solve it, making it up to me to turn it in the lock! I needed a bit of playing and even asked back when I wasn’t able to see it instantly. At the end I solved it and I guess we both were happy … my friend about helping me out and I’m about finally being able to solve it myself!

Thats the way it works for me, thanks Matey …. thanks for helping me that thoughtful. Thats Tops!!
