Naked we are
when we come to this world
A first photo is up
on name.blogger dot hot

Smart ass posts on
hack-forum dot gully dot net
is it wrong o_^? to express
your political bet?

Stupid groups joined on facebook
or on AbmahnVZ
Awkward feeling
explaining the profiles to Matt

Once in business
you hope,
work and think like a tank
Feet make steps,
steps form trails

…

Every doubleclick noted,
matched and sorted and stored
Yeah! Those harddisks indeed
never ever get bored!

Naked we are
yet again, once again
when we set off to go
that untraceable track

The last picture is taken
for forensics and stuff
Information can’t ever
be really ENOUGH!

What lasts is an image
yet blurry and gray
that gets sharper and flashy
once the heir gets the key

I’m just a decent person trying to do some research with google almighty search and they have to confront me with such terrifying messages. No virus found on my system!

Wanna terrify your relatives?

I encourage my readers to make a screenshot of google sorry in their language, blog about it and send me a trackback or comment or whatever …

Is there one program or online service in the world where you can search for functions or filter menu items? It is very painful if you try to find a function and you aren’t sure where it is “hidden” in the whole menu structure.

Some big companies made efforts and did a really good job to arrange the menu items in a very useable way.

For example:

MS Excel 2007

MS Excel and almost every new Microsoft Office product have this new ribbon structured menu which improves usability and navigation. Anyway there are hundreds of functions you will never find without a good “search for functions” button. Well you could search in the manual. Everybody likes manuals…

Google Analytics

Google Analytics has about 50 menu items in the main menu. Well structured but still painful to find the right report if you aren’t sure where the relevant menu item is.

Ok, you are an expert in Google Analytics and can find the right way through the menu in seconds. Wouldn’t it still be nice to have a filter that blends out the irrelevant menu items, so you can concentrate on the 2-3 items you really need?

Wow! Vistaprint did a damn good job. I ordered my Premium Business Cards on April 17th and got them today. Everything looks fine. Thick high-quality paper (265 g/m² or something like that) and luminous colours. Now I feel realy good about having that banner up there ^^

I have one hint for you. Don’t choose the more expensive 1 week delivery option.
I’ve choosen the cheaper standard 2 weeks delivery and got them in one week anyway

Vistaprint has got a very easy to understand and user friendly website and they have got great system to upload your own images for higher customization.

But?: Vistaprint growth, Something to be carefull about

Does anybody have a different experience with their service?

I guess you won’t need to watch your weight, if you play this kind of games in the future.
