Famous Australian LSO got a logo similar to mine!

Sorry I havent posted in a while, school has been hectic and i've been kept busy with sporting commitments.

Anise has brought something interesting to my attention, Medibank private and fitness2live have made a joint venture and they have a logo very similar to mine!

I'm not sure what to make of this, but I think its something interesting thats been brought to my attention

Studying Dreamweaver MX bible

I've got a DW e-book and i'm going to learn it back to front.
Hopefully i'll be able to create the website I want successfully when I finish reading it!

I'm going to be busy learning web design for a few weeks but dont worry, I'll be back posting updates like crazy when I'm finished!

Learning web development

Its final, me and the web developer are through! Good thing I didnt pay him up front.
Unfortunately, i'm down ~$135US total for the logo.

I guess this is a sign for me to learn web development and build this website myself! This will definately delay PTsearch opening up for business, but it'll be worth it in the long run.

Final email to my idiot web developer

Tonight was my web developers final straw, I couldnt contact him all week through phone or email and I just had to put my foot down. I set the final deadline for 9pm Wednesday.
Here's the email I just sent.

Ho Ward, this is Alex.

I've had enough of your horrible service, this is your last chance to finish PTsearch.
I am giving you until Wednesday night to finish it with everything i've asked you and what we agreed on. I am not giving any more extensions, you have used up all your chances.

If the site isnt 100% finished by Wednesday night 9PM AEST I will start my project again with a new web designer.

DEADLINE to 100% finish PTsearch:
- 9PM Wednesday 5th July 2006.

-Alex.

My angry email to web developer

I've had enough of my web developers bullshit today, I really had to put my foot down for once.
Here's the email I sent him this morning.

**********

-------, I've been calling you a lot and I cannot reach you at all.
When I finally did, you were driving and said you'd call me back, but once again you didnt.

You said it would be finished in 3-5 days 1 week ago, so far you havnt done anything which I know of!

When you first quoted me in JANUARY 06, you said it would take 12-22 days. I can understand this can still be flexible, but 6 months? This is really unprofessional. Even $1300 is not worth it, for 6 months and still going! Are you tring to set a new record or something?

If this is the way you are going to be, this deal wont work out well for me or you.
I DO want this to work out well for me and you, but without your cooperation it wont.
You've almost finished this, JUST GET IT DONE ALREADY.

If you dont do something about this situation now, I'll have to start this from the beginning with somebody else.

It would be in your best interest to get back to me very soon.

Regards, Alex Gilberg.

Web designer STILL out of reach

This is unbelievable. I actually reached his mobile phone yesterday, but he was driving and said he'd call me back. He has pulled this crap on me at least 5 times now, saying he'll call back within 1 hour and never contacting me back.

I've been calling him at all different times today and am yet to reach him, my email from yesterday also seems to be ignored.

I've learned an expensive and very time wasting lesson with him;
CHOOSE THE RIGHT PEOPLE!

Business card FINAL DESIGN

Julius sent me the new design overnight, he is really fantastic and easy to deal with!

Here is the final design i'll use for the business card, I really love it!

Free business card design!

I was browsing the YE forums and somebody was offering free design services. I jumped at the offer seeing as I needed a business card.

After telling the designer my requirements, he very happily made me a brilliant business card!
I was really impressed, especially since he even did it for free!

I really like the design, but i'm not sure about the model. She looks nice and all, but this may make my biz look less professional so i'm asking him to remove the pic of her, even though it looks good.
