Great way to spend a Sunday

A client wants a Wordpress website, sure no problem what look and feel have a look at some themes.

So they want to see a selection on themes installed on their domain with test data, a complete pain in the arse but set up a number of them to look at tomorrow.

What's the chances they'll want some other framework like Joomla

Somebody's gonna faint when they get the invoice

Funny, I've just been reading a book to find out how to convert my website into Wordpress (I'm going to buy a theme from the site you recommended CH).

If you want to test out I have several I could send you. If you want live do the decent thing

I'm after a nice, clean theme but without any flash graphics (and of course I'll cough up for the live site)

I spent mine with the family hiking around Ullswater. Just had 3 pints of Cumbrian ale to rehydrate and believe it or not actually got a bit of sunburn today.

Spent mine driving 450 miles north. Not the most fun I've ever had.

Now need to see why a server died on Wednesday night. Chaos monkey testing worked fine so everything recovered itself auto-magically but I still want to know what the problem was.

Ohmygod, not Joomla! Please! Every self-professed Linux type I come across down the pub tells anyone who wants to listen that it's the bees' knees.

On the positive side I managed to persuade my Plan B partner that MS Comic Sans ain't a good font. He still likes it but I have conveyed to him the fact that anyone in the graphics trade will laugh at it.

Actually quite a cool day here. I chilled out for most of the day, it was sunny in the afternoon and I thoroughly enjoyed Jarvis Cocker's show on R6 with a David Attenborough Special - well worth a listen and available on iPlayer for the next 7 days.

The Lyre bird imitating a chainsaw was something quite special.

P.S. Still light at 8pm here let spring commence!

Joomla's not so bad. Had to create a graphic logo for a client site last week and the typeface they wanted - comic sans. They don't want to listen I don't care it's all billable.

I must admit it was the type of person recommending it down the pub that put me off the product.

The CMS product I really refused to work with was Typo3, which being a German thing was popular here. When the default admin password was a reference to the Bible verse that my father in his religiously cranky latter years used to quote at me, I didn't want anything whatsoever to do with the product.

Initially I was all prepared to convert old documentation from the original Star Office format to the then current OpenOffice, or Word, or whatever, and I had the tools to do that, but the religious arguments on their (private, not accepted on Usenet) made me say a big NO.

Sorry but I don't deal with religious types who want to promote their faith through a technical product. I say that as someone whose family is deeply religious. I can respect their beliefs as long as they don't push it on me, but pushing it on strangers is totally out of order.

P.S. Now there's a Sabbath thread for ya

Thinks it's time for the last pint or two in the pub.
