Have you ever seen the movie “Uncle Buck”? It’s an old movie. If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend it! Go rent it from a library! It’s so hilarious! A very well done movie =) I watched it last night with Andy and it was impressive =)

hosting
October 20th, 2001
when i finished my daily task for the lab at work, i got on the internet and browser to my board. and guess what? i got this
============================
Warning: Can’t connect to local MySQL server through
socket ‘/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock’ (111) in
/home/dodo/www/oekaki/dbconn.php on line 6
Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can’t connect to
local MySQL server through socket
‘/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock’ (111) in
/home/dodo/www/oekaki/dbconn.php on line 6
Could not connect to the MySQL database.
============================
this is already the third time things like this happened. i can not log in my control panel during this kind of down time. and i emailed phpwebhosting on their frontpage of the website and i never got a response last time i emailed. so today, i emailed jack since i know he’s one of the guy in there and i called the voice phone and left a message complaining about the situation. i’m gonna log in the control panel and write another complaint in my cp… gosh… i hate that.. coz so many sites on my domain depend on mysql!

design job

Dodo,
You can guarantee I will purchase from you. However, it is a big amount of money coming from my wallet, and I will pay as much as you think you deserve. But I want the design to be absolutely perfect. The particular design you are making for me looks very nice, but not exactly how I have envisioned. I am sorry I did not tell you until after you created it. I hope you understand that I will be very picky about different things. I am serious about this entire project and I know you are too..
The design you created for me is how I was hoping, but over the course of the last few hours, I have surfed other sites and found some other designs and ideas that I like. If we could start from scratch with the design, I would very grateful.
Please reply and tell me what you think.
-Joanna

my reply

I’m sorry to tell you that I’ve had very bad experience from previous projects. I could never satisfy my client because they constantly change on me. I did all those work without even earning a penny. I did four layouts for them, nothing seems to fit, until i figured i’m the stupid one who’s doing free work for nothing. So I will not do any more designs for you from scratch unless you will pay for the work I start with which means I will start working on a new project when I receive half of what you promised to pay for the entire project.
So if you want to forget about the last project, it IS possible for us to start a new project. But not the same way I did the last time.
We will follow these steps
First tell me what you want
- i need to know the exact color, font for the title
- photographs on the design (better if you provide, if not, i need a detailed description of what the photograph will be like)
- examples of other graphics
- background color
- how big should the title image be
I will think about the requirements and tell you whether I can handle it and give you a price, I think it should be around $40 like before.
Then we can start the project and that means NO MORE change on main theme of the design and I will need to receive the first half of payment to get started.
I will do minor modifications to fit your need for the final design. You can pay me the other half before the final design is sent to you.
That’s all. Other than that, I don’t think I want to take the job.
what else, take a look at this!
