Gathering information is the easy part. Having to spend time to organise it and write about is quite difficult. Short and simple is the way to go in this time of time-shortness .. yes, I can really do with an additional two weeks right about now. Bet some of you wouldn't mind that either.

A client once requested the Google map colour to be different and I refused with a confident smile on my face — I was an idiot.

I love Google Spider Food, Lingani, Location page and the about page.. but I must say, seeing IE6 conditional comments on the source is not something I expected!
Have a great fortnight!
