Random Rants


This morning at 10:00 i am to be giving a presentation upon what SEO tatics www.ghotw.com should be using to advance forward. Hopefully this blog post should be shown on www.technorati.com

This is a great list of web 2.0 sites web2.0awards.org..

But im not too sure if this was something that www.seomoz.org was creating for the kudous, or just for the hits

OK, so it has been months since i last posted, ok it was last year.

In that time i have lots of things stopping me, but the main one is work.

I have been working for Google (freelance) since early last year, but at the beginning of this year i have put Google 2nd best and only work for them at weekends in favour of a company called Big Agency.

One of the main clients and sister company is Great Hotels Organisation which also provide Great Hotels of the World, of which i do all of the front-end code.

The projects i am working on are very demanding but worthy as they will be pushing the limits of what is already out online. Hopefully they will be turning some heads as soon as they are ready for public beta. My favourite has to be the Hotel booking engine G-rez, which will be a fully interactive one screen solution to booking all parts of the Hotels, this will be run on the front end with some snazzy AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript And XML).

An article written in 2001 on ScientificAmerican.com states that New Orleans could get hit by a hurricane and flooded in 20ft of water.

A major hurricane could swamp New Orleans under 20 feet of water, killing thousands. Human activities along the Mississippi River have dramatically increased the risk, and now only massive reengineering of southeastern Louisiana can save the city

So my question is with hindsight if there was a select few that could have foreseen what has happened, why wasn’t any extra defence barriers erected or any training of evacuation procedures put into place?
