Are you interested in starting a web project? I am!

I have been tinkering with Worpress and loads of different web stuff recently and I am really bored of playing around with my own website. I don’t have enough to say on my own blog so most days I just feel like turning it off.

Hence this post. I want to get invovled in a new project that actually has meaning and could eventually generate some money (but that isn’t essential!). So if anyone out there has any good ideas or feels anything like I do right now let me know.

The type of stuff I am really into at the moment is design (mostly UI with high usability standards) and online marketing. I like coding HTML and CSS and I am starting to enjoy working with databases.

Well, I guess nobody will read this but if you do and you are interested in talking about something big or small give me a shout.

Cheers,
Rich

Hi Rich

Getting bored with ‘banging on about MP management work crap, at work, and thought there has to be some Sufi wisdom to cover our situation, and…. VIOLA! (sic). Read the following - totally applicable too so many potential candidates, don’t you think?

There was once a small boy who banged a drum all day and loved every moment of it. He would not be quiet, no matter what anyone else said or did. Various people who called themselves Sufis, and other well-wishers, were called in by neighbors and asked to do something about the child.

The first so-called Sufi told the boy that he would, if he continued to make so much noise, perforate his eardrums; this reasoning was too advanced for the child, who was neither a scientist nor a scholar. The second told him that drum beating was a sacred activity and should be carried out only on special occasions. The third offered the neighbors plugs for their ears; the fourth gave the boy a book; the fifth gave the neighbors books that described a method of controlling anger through biofeedback; the sixth gave the boy meditation exercises to make him placid and explained that all reality was imagination. Like all placebos, each of these remedies worked for a short while, but none worked for very long.
Eventually, a real Sufi came along. He looked at the situation, handed the boy a hammer and chisel, and said, “I wonder what is INSIDE the drum?”

- You see Rich? The difference between intellligence, cunning and cunning intelligence.

Sufism is a beautiful, endlessly rich, wonderfully simple way of seeing the world AND dealing with it in truly elegant ways.
