And of course they are satisfied. Why? Because those garbage computer literate guys dare to call themselves designers. Not everyone who knows what is a patch cable or HTML code is a web designer. People are scammed all the time and they believe they got the best service possible for the lowest price. Oh yes, SEO, CMS and everything included but real design and style. Sure it is a start and I had customers who realized that the friend who made the website for free might be not the best bet. So they came to me and they were satisfied. I did not make any SEO, optimization or any extra. All I did is a good quality website with style. And voila, the business reported that sales grew. No SEO, no optimization, no additional ideas and function. Pure professional design. Anyway, I hope these made up designer will die out so we can have a place once. No longer I want to pay for quality leads.
Imagine, I just registered at a uk website where people ask for qualified web designers. There were some good prices. People with £4000 budget. That’s not a bad deal. I went into one and bough a contact, event planner website. Okay, I phone the lady, she doies not take it. I emailed her and no answer. After some days I could phone her but she was busy. Then I got an email saying that she got a better offer. She had £4000-4900 budget, so I bid £4000. Guess how much did the other guy offered? £599… I told her that I’m not sure she will get what she wants but I got no answer to that email. That lead, to buy the contact information of the lady cost me £25. Craze.
Oh, yes and I made cold calling as well. People are satisfied with what they have and sometimes even hang up the phone when I mentioned the mythical word “web site” or “web design”. Oh yes, these gangster “web designers” have made the industry so much down, I don’t even know what to say. I tried to apply for jobs without success.
The cool thing is that I have still a laptop and internet. So that’s fine because I can blog and I love to blog even though sometimes not really. Anyway, I don’t need to be bugged by stupid people any longer. Hope it will work out. And yes next to this, I will open a model site and take pictures. Yeah, models are nice faces and I will enjoy taking photos of them and getting them some jobs.
I called Toshiba America at this number +18006313811 at 14:30-14:40 GMT+1 (daylight saving) and I spoke to the sales department. The saleswomen introduced herself and I introduced myself as Barnabas Nagy. I don’t remember her name but because there should be a monitoring system you could hear it back. The following conversation happened between us:
-Hi, I would like to ask some technical details about a camcorder
-Toshiba does not sell camcorders
(I was astonished because Toshiba DOES sell Camileo and so on camcorders)
-Toshiba DOES sell camcorders.
-We don’t sell camcorders. Toshiba does not sell camcorders.
-It’s a European model so you might not know but Toshiba DOES sell camcorders.
-Than phone Europe, Toshiba America does not sell camcorders. (Here I became very angry but I did speak still normally to the saleswoman)
-Ok, the problem is that you in America think that you are the center of the world…. (she interrupted me)
-We don’t think that we are the center of the world. bla. bla. bla…
-Can I please finish my sentence as a Toshiba customer?
-Yes.
-You in America think that you are the center of the world (she again interrupted me)
-You did not phone the right department, call europe, we don’t sell camcorders.
-I just wanted to finish my sentence as a Toshiba customer.
-If you don’t hang up the phone I will hang it up.
-So I just wanted to say that you in America (she hang up the phone)
This is unbelievable and miserable servis. I have Toshiba Satellite laptop and I wanted to buy Toshiba Camcorder next to my laptop but this feminist women does not even let me finish my sentence.
What I wanted to say just as a correction is that if she says that Toshiba does not sell camcorders than she is wrong and she should be educated and listen to the customer, if she said in Toshiba America does not sell camcorders than, of course, she is right. But she did not say it 2 or 3 times only that Toshiba does not sell camcorders – that is wrong.
This feminist aggressive, uneducated, misled, stupid, women should leave te company ASAP.
The other thing is: I want to purchase Toshiba Camileo camcorder model. I was hesitating between Camileo HD and Camileo Pro HD, I phoned, USA, UK, Czech Republic, Hungary they have different informations, also there are different information on the toshiba official sites. This is miserable.
I phoned more than 10 hours, and spent at least 4USD for VOIP.
Toshiba is miserable, I will never buy again Toshiba. Toshiba is scam, fraud, phony, lie.
A snip of output from yesterday brainstorm – literally. I discovered something weeks ago, and yesterday as I came back to blog it prompted me in my mind taskbar Because I run several blogs I have several inputs (comments), and some people alert me that I make spelling or grammatical mistake here or there. I thank them for nudging me but I still had in mind that my English is good. Well, it is good, but not good enough. Forgive me this wrong, I’m really not a native English speaker, born in Hungary, live in the Czech Rep. and I really learnt English. I did not get it by breastfeeding, really, really. FULL ARTICLE +
I’m wondering around my projects and finally has no idea which is better. I don’t know where to start and how. It’s craze but it is still like this. Gas stopped from Russia – bad news. I want to blog and earn – good news. How to combine the 2 I don’t have an idea but it obviosly does not fit. We need gas to heat otherwise my blogging fingers will freeze!
It’s been a while I did not post anything here and odiogo went on silent. No more! I’m still struglling with my own self how should I do the thing that is called blogging. I do have projects, opened, half-opened, closed ones, have no time, been tired, sick and so on. And the best of all is that I have many ideas. They sometimes bug me. But really. Imagine that you go to sleep and you are still thinking of the next domain you want to purchase for the sake of a boom project. Kinda mad stuff, insane. No trouble, I live though the years and am still here trying to do the right thing. There is an open web design project, I finished the demo but no answer yet… What’s the hack? Someone?
What if you had a plugin you would activate and you could provide your readers the possibilities to take your article wherever they want on their mp3 players? Sounds nice right? Huh? How to make that? Well, you have the option to make as technologyreview does with a commercial audio podcasting service, namely: AudioDizer – Good news: there is a better option. It is called odiogo and it’s totally free! I’m not joking listen to my article by clicking on the “listen now” button under my title. I was very much surprised how easy it was to activate the plugin, it’s really hands on. FULL ARTICLE +
I have just tried out sweetcorn, All in One SEO Pack, SEO Smart Links, WP-Cumulus and they do nothing. I’m not a freebee in WordPress but I really could not make them work. Sure, sweetcorn is not a wp plugin and I did not try to use it as such. The other’s are and I find no sense in using them. Just to let know you. So I deleted them. The other plugin that basically bugs me is HelloDolly. Why is it included in Wordpress by default? What sense does it make? So I deleted hellodolly because I found the plugin directory…
Now, I’m trying some snaphot plugin and just a minute… They do nothing, I activated them and refreshed the site but nothing. FULL ARTICLE +
By the way I wanted to drop some lines about the latest WordPressupgrade. First time I installed it I felt I’m using a platform I’ve never used. I felt chaos, the buttons looked ugly, some still do. So then I downgraded, I had to find the old version at oldapps.com… No matter, I gave it another chance when I launched barnabasnagy.net and installed the newest stable version 2.7 and after a while I started liking it. But really it’s not as bad as it seemed, I had to switch to blue scheme from the default gray and it was already better. FULL ARTICLE +
I’m really getting off writing on my blogs and waiting for good user feedback and checking the comments with zero reply rate. Why is that? I want to earn money! I also got a nice request for freelance design job by one of my commenter. I sent my samples but no respond till now. It really drives me crazy. Yesterday I still did not finish my touch-screen project, and the worse: I found dozens of more interesting topics to read (not about touch screen) so I’m gonna sink. Have someone a solution for this? FULL ARTICLE +
It’s a common cliche question and the answer seems to be quite diverse and at the end of all somehow missing… I try to redefine the whole thing, because bloggers out there who give such advices are addicted to the money they get from you by reading their articles. So they tell you the same increasing game over and over again not telling you their real secrets. They just feed you bits by bits so that they can write about it again and again. Finally they go to bloggers Expo’s and tell the great deal. Not like that. I’m somehow unsatisfied with the cake I get.
I stayed tuned online with my wife yesterday/today night/morning because she had night shift: 7pm-7am. So I woke up once at around 11am then at around 2pm – this was a phone call. At last I really got up at 6pm and the day started at 7pm – yeah the clothing and stuff… It’s really not easy. So now I’m getting back to normal and it’s 21:13
I just wanted to drop a note that I don’t know what do they put in to these Raffaello balls but it’s like addictive. I eat one and I want the next. Crazy.
It was not a long time I started this site and praised the advantages of Zemanta plugin for WordPress, I realized some early backlinks from sources I’ve never though to have link to me. It was namely, the blog of Ben Bleikamp a blogger and user interface mastermind, user experience expert who inspired me in ways lot more than others. I simply liked his style of writing, his unique approach to design and marketing. So I kept an eye on his blog, well, not spent as much time as I’d love to… so he had a big impact on me even though I don’t agree with some of his applications: like the Thesis WP theme FULL ARTICLE +
It was a long way to go but it seems I reach my goal with barnabasnagy.net – I start to love blogging. I know it might sound strange but as I wanted to harness the internet tool to earn money I ended up in several dead ends. Thousands of hour spent for nothing searching for advertisement options but at the end had no revenue, or pretty little. So now it was enough and I started a new phase in my career doing what I really like.
The problem I face many times is how to pay bills, they are paid out somehow, anyways. FULL ARTICLE +
Well, that’s it. I really take seriously the tip of the creator of Blog World Expo. It’s that easy: Do what you like! Blog what you are passionate about. I’m passionate about the stuff I’m writing right now hot under my hand on the keyboard: blogging, websites, new media and stuffs like that. New plugins widgets, whatever comes up as new in the so called blogosphere, as they call it, and widely everything that is media related. FULL ARTICLE +
It’s just been a while I heard of zemanta, and since I tried it out I stick to it. Zemanta really makes blogging easier with it’s recommended tags, links, and pics. I love it. You just wrap around your article, refresh the console or let it refresh itself and there you go. Lots of interesting and contextual free media that you can use to decorate and make your article more comprehensive and interesting. Just as I’m typing, a new bunch of images came up so I’ll put one here in order to dress the post up. It’s a lots of fun and time saver. Try it out, it’s free. FULL ARTICLE +
This is my first post and I wanted to tell you what I’m going to write about on this blog and first of all, why did I started it. I started this blog because on the blogs I have I feel a bit imprisoned to the topic of the blog, so I wanted to at least express myself in a variety of areas of life. Mostly in web design, media, graphics and such. I’m driving an official design showcase site that is well user experience and sales centered but I feel inappropriate to write there about my sometimes hardship with coding, debugging, “begging” for programming help and such.
