Fliss’s (go on Unwin – slate me for that grammar!) job has come to an abrupt end! She asked for Wednesday morning off to go for an interview, which is meant to be cool if you’re just a temp, as they know you’re not there for ever… kind of thing.

Well, anyway, when she got in yesterday there was an e-mail confirming that she could have the morning off… and the rest of her life, too, as the person she is temping for is returning.

Hopefully Fliss will find something else soon, and not just another temping job either.

Verisign. You know the ones – the useless cretins behind Network Solutions who allow less honest individuals to waltz away with the domain names of decent people.

Yep – that’s Verisign.

Granted, the above attempt at a Google Bomb doesn’t seem to be working in the slightest, but it cant to any harm to keep linking to the article showing how crap Verisign are.

Sitepoint forums are a cool developers hang out. Even if you’re not stuck with something, there’s a chance you can lend a hand to someone else and hope that the good karma comes back to you when you’re stuck. So I’m finding it increasingly perplexing that I seem to have some sort of karma bypass installed around my topics when I do need help.

I’ve posted questions on nested while loops, as well as a Javascript cookie query, not to mention a few others. Yet somehow, each time I ask for help, I’m either not understood… or nobody is willing to cough up the answer.

I find it hard to believe that I’m asking the kind of questions that hundreds of online gurus are completely foxed by. So maybe it’s the way I’m asking? Am I being too polite? Am I not explaining myself properly?

Whatever it is, I wish I knew.

On the other hand, I’m building up so much good karma that someone is due to post the winning Lotto numbers to me instead of answering my coding question, which would instantly trivialise the problem anyway! ;o)
