    Annoyed customer wants to learn C++?!?

    Well I told him "Just cause I know everything there is to know about digging a proper hole in the dirt, it doesn't mean I want to dig that hole. The same thing is true for programmers, they still pay for software, especially if they are good programmers with lots of income." :)

    Google phone numbers

    You're right I quoted the wrong fellow.. It was TSGMIMS who was extolling the virtues of tracking callers. Sorry bout that! ;) I did the same thing though last night.. "Hey wouldn't it be possible to store energy physically in a flywheel that's spinning on a magnetic bearing in a vacuum?" One...

    Quick PDF Question

    Recently Google added OCR to Google Docs. If you login to Google Docs and then upload a PDF, there's 2 check boxes to click off (one to make a google doc, and one to OCR). After that you will find the PDF is in text/document format and you can edit the fields/print it. ;)

    Google phone numbers

    What you are discussing is call tracking, and there's already a major industry thriving on it. Most places that do the call tracking also offer vanity 800 (toll-free) numbers to go with the service so you're headed down the right path with your ideas. Going with a toll-free number makes...

    Competitors PPC

    I'd have to agree with the old man on this one.. Google can't be everywhere all the time and I don't think they are smart enough to align IPs of the competition with your stats in the same way you could? What I don't get is how you can tell if someone smart is trying to tank the PPC...

    For fun - name that pollution hotspot!

    What a good way to get people to look at Twitter.. Far more interesting than sending/getting snippets of text that are 80% pointless. ;)

    SEP Tool/Site/Methods?

    If a US English customer asked you 'What position is my site in on Google?', how would you lookup the info to make sure it's right for US English searches? I know that you can go into advanced search options and tell it you want a particular language like English, and you can tell it you want...

    Annoyed customer wants to learn C++?!?

    I kid you not.. I have an Asian customer who is very smart that got really mad at the software he's using and asked me for help learning C++! The best thing I could find for free was the MinGW w64 project at sourceforge? I see they built lots of good apps with the project but is that...

    Seo, Seo, Seo ... Yaaaaawwwnnn!

    Yeah I did a quick skim and I can't see where it got personal either. Mind you I could have sworn that the old man dropped a dupe post from the first couple pages too... Seems like the thread is too long?

    Seo, Seo, Seo ... Yaaaaawwwnnn!

    twitter is like a bunch of fortune cookies, limited relevance and filling without substance bing is a library full of boring books that aren't as well written or current as the books in google's library :P

    Google June update?

    That would be nice if it's a mere glitch but all the tricks I know for checking PR on sites always come out the same when it's zero so I don't think it's a problem with any particular tool?

    Google June update?

    I've seen the same thing and one fellow even pointed out that some sites seem to be getting 'zeroed' as a way of steering link spammers who feed on middling PR sites that are easy targets. By leaving them at zero for a month it encourages the spam to migrate to other sites where it may be dealt...
