I remember the colours, it was pink and as we kept saying, pink was very workplace unfriendly
Gerry's obitiary is fascinating in as much as he knows at every point of the journey, which turn, was the wrong turn, as an essay, it could really go down in history as the how not to guide to doing startup internet projects,
this is gold
too many classics in there, these are my favourites...
. It was from hearing about Classmates.com an American School Reunion website.
I thought “why not have one for IT Contractors”.
Of course, I should have said “Why not have one of those in the UK?” as this was before FriendsReunited started.
. We got lots of traffic.
However, just one comment by one reader in 2002 or 2003 made me do an about face, change the name to ITContractor.com and move it to be being an IT Contractor portal.
This person said that the Contractors Reunited idea was passé and very much last year’s idea.
Despite the evidence of the traffic I took that on board and made the change.
That was pretty stupid of me.
. This was well before social networking websites like LinkedIn, FaceBook and Twitter came out.
I got out of social networking even before they even got into it.
I still kept the facilities on the website but downgraded them and didn’t push them.
However, people still used them.
. In 2007 I had major changes to the website and only did brief tests to that part of the website.
The result was that I didn’t know that new members joining up couldn’t add any details about themselves, like the places they worked since then.
There were also other errors that took away the use of other facilities.
classics !!!!
I remember when Gerry was.... FromTheUSA and talking about the swamp bar
All the best Gerry, are you still living at your parent's summer house in ireland ?
that's a paradox itself isn't it, summer house in ireland ?
Milan.
