Screaming Bean
Friday, May 23, 2008

I was forced into a lunch meeting at work yesterday. Since we now have a conference room at work, we have these mandatory weekly meetings where someone at the firm has to present something of note. Nothing I enjoy more than eating with people who rather not have anything to do with me. This week's presentation was about websites. Now mind you, I've been on the internet since 92. I've been through PINE, Lynx, Mosaic, old VAX systems, MUDs, MOOs, MUSHes, the dot-com boom, bust and YouTube. I've been blogging for years. What did I learn from this presentation that was taken from a seminar that a secretary and clerk attended? It'll cost us at least $25,000 to start up a firm webpage. It'll cost at least $200 a month for maintenance. That you need to pay extra to track the metrics of your site. You have no idea how hard it was for me to keep from laughing. Our firm needs a front page, maybe some bios. Ever heard of SiteMeter? $25K? I should submit a quote. Come in for a 1/5 of this imaginary number and code something that'll work just fine. But yeah, no one thinks I can do anything. And as far as blogging? It was discussed as some sort of nebulous thing that no one is sure how to do, and that will need far more research before there are conclusions. I bit my tongue until it nearly bled and ate my food. This firm deserves what it gets.
