September 15, 2003Monday Mission 3.37Welcome once again to the Monday Mission. I have suspended the MMMailing List for a while, just to get past the bounced emails from the So.Big garbage. This has had a severe impact on participation, which is sad to see. So I need your help spreading the word, hopefully folks will remember by Wednesday and get on over here. But thank you for coming back each week, you're the one that keeps the MM going! Monday Mission 3.371. Chrystal said in last week's Monday Mission that the chore she dreaded most was having to "fold and put away clothes." What regular chore(s) do you dread the most?2. Have you ever tried any of the "tabbed" browsers like MyIE2, Safari or Mozilla Firebird? Do you like it better than a one-window browser? How come? 3. I was told last night that normal people don't spend as much time on the computer as I do. That if I'd devote that energy toward something else, anything else, I could have probably cured cancer by now. I don't think my time is wasted when I am on-line or otherwise working on the PC, but maybe it really is more time than so-called "normal' people. Do you ever get criticized for being on the computer too much? How much time do you spend on the PC and/or on-line? Is it too much time are or do they just not "get" us? 4. One of the phrases I notice every week when read in the job listings is "must be a highly motivated self-starter.." I have no idea what that means. To me it sounds like what they really want to say is "must be able to take a lot of crap and not complain." That could be why I don't get many second interviews. In your opinion, what is a "self-starter?" Are you a "self-starter?" 5. Let's take that thought one step further: Write a Job Ad that describes you perfectly (as you are now, not as your "ideal" self) as well as the ideal job you'd like to get paid for doing. 6. As you may know, I have (Adult)ADD in a bad way, severe even. Although I'd very much like to be rid of it, I don't take meds for it because they made me very irritable and very unpleasant to be around. Do you take medications on a regular basis, or ever attempted to? Have they caused any side effects? Is it worth enduring them for the benefit you receive from the medication? 7. Some things should just stay in the past, you know? I've found many memories are better as memories. When you try to re-live them they never seem to be able to live up to the memory. Maybe we glamorize them over time. Or maybe they were as good as we think, but something from "now" gets in the way and you just can't get past it. What moment from the past have you tried to re-live that has fallen short of the memory? BONUS: Didn't your mama tell you life is too good too waste? Today's Comment Question: What could "PG dot net" add or change to make this blog even better? file this under Monday MissionPosted by on September 15, 2003 @ September 15, 2003 09:12 AM 15 folks had something to say |
Mine are up!
Posted by: Rebecca at September 15, 2003 9:50 AMThis site needs a complete overhaul, visually and probly codeingly too. It's horribly slow, and things don't line up, etc. (you've heard this all from me before, I know!)
But that takes time, something which none of us has! Otherwise, it's just groovy, content-wise! :)
Don't forget to check out my site on Thursday mornings for '3x Thursday!'
Posted by: missy at September 15, 2003 11:05 AMPLEASE, I beg you, DROP the JAVA applet web cam. It slows my computer and I avoid your site most days because of it. As far as I know, it's been the same picture forever!
By the way, I'm up. ;)

The thing that I think of most when I come to your site is the color schemes, they just aren't my style. Nothing big but it's my input.

As for the site, I think that all you need is maybe a new layout and a new color scheme. I think that your content is great, maybe just organize it differently. Sometimes Change Is Good...
Posted by: Laura at September 15, 2003 6:01 PMI like your site just the way it is.
Posted by: Hondo at September 15, 2003 7:13 PMMine just went up.
I don't really have any complaints about your site. The webcam java applet slows down my computer a bit too. And in mozilla, your content covers up part of the header (at least on my computer it does). But other than that, your site is great.

The site could stand a new layout. It'd look much nicer I'm sure.
Posted by: Chad at September 15, 2003 10:30 PMMy Monday Mission is up. Yay.

answer to the comments-Q is: I'd suggest a redesign, different color scheme.
BTW if anybody wants to be reviewed by me, i've started a new reviews-page throughout the past days:
