Never Guess the Address for a Site
-
Today we had one of our customers in for a chat about transferring documents electronically. They are based in a town called Torquay which is where the comedy series Fawlty Towers was based. For some reason one of our guys decided to try and find the website for the show and got it a bit wrong. He spelt fawlty incorrectly and ended up with 3 screens all showing a pron site about space amazones. How embarrassing!:~ Good job they saw the funny side...:laugh:

I work for a company called FAME Inc. www.fame.com[^] For a laugh, checkout www.fame.net[^] (A pron site that is definitely not work safe). Chris Meech It's much easier to get rich telling people what they want to hear. Chistopher Duncan I can't help getting older, but I refuse to grow up. Roger Wright I've been meaning to change my sig. Thanks! Alvaro Mendez We're more like a hobbiest in a Home Depot drooling at all the shiny power tools, rather than a craftsman that makes the chair to an exacting level of comfort by measuring the customer's butt.

Don't forget the old standbys - whitehouse.com and nasa.com (last time I looked [and I'm not about to look now at work] both of those were pr0n sites). The "real" sites are .gov --Mike-- Ericahist | CP SearchBar v2.0.2 | Homepage | RightClick-Encrypt | 1ClickPicGrabber Four fonts walk into a bar. The bartender says "Hey - get out! We don't want your type in here."

I used to work at FAME in Ann Arbor. It was my first 'professional' job if you call site server helpdesk professional. I only worked there about 8 months and had to get on with my career. While I was making $15/hour, I had to help some uxix admin, making alot more, get his unix box up and running. The company was great, they got my foot in the door, the work wasn't.

Someone phoned use asking for a quote on re-developing their website, www.swingsafaris.co.za/. On the phone I typed in www.swingsafari.co.za/, minus the S. Turned out to be a swingers site for people in Africa (this was a few years ago, I notice the swingers site is down). I sat on the phone staring at a very naked lady and man out in the bushveld while the woman on the phone told me they ran golf safaris. I thought she was pulling my leg. The other one was very recent. Pitching to re-develop the Janet Reger website (www.janetreger.co.uk/) and was asked to go through the entire site to make a site-map and give a ball park costing. That was a fun afternoon I spent and all work approved :rolleyes: regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Brian Welsch wrote: "blah blah blah, maybe a potato?" while translating my Afrikaans.
