Signs of a has been webmaster

By Padek • August 1, 2007

not a pretty looker in firefox, mate I was thinking to myself, what are the signs of a webmaster that clearly has become a has been? Let me sum it up for you:

When everyone already incorporated Web 2.0 you are still trying to get past your first steps in html for dummies;

Your site can’t handle Firefox browsers (because you haven’t caught up with this 4 years old technology yet and you are too lazy to test it);

You make a joke….Hahaha…but it isn’t really funny;

You make a search box that does not search. You make a rating scale that can’t rate. In fact, these ghosted functionalities are dangling around quite useless as an embarrassing proof of your lacking skills;

You think talking about yourself is more important than talking about what your site should be about;

You actually dare to list “erotica” as your turn on. What is you thinking, uncle Andy? ;

You think your visitors really want to know that you (again, it’s all about you) find “naked women” sexy. Well duh, mate! ;

Your English never got past first grade and your semantics feel like they were induced by hallucinating drugs. Now explain to us what on earth you mean when you say “He is one of many great country artists from Lao golden era, who is instrumental chief architect for paving the healthy way for younger generations.” Huh? Say whut? ;

You probably were a monk at some time, yes, but must you flaunt it all the time. Forgot the teachings about modesty and humbleness?

Yes, it was a rant

“He is one of many great country artists from Lao golden era, who is instrumental chief architect for paving the healthy way for younger generations.” I’m a translator, I’ll try to translate this, “He is one of the greatest country singers from the golden age of Lao music, whom has mastering the art of Lao musical instruments, a true inspiration to generations to come.” Who is this person? :)

Apparently, it was Mr K Viseth. Got another one for you.

"if it sounds familiar
then you are not wrong."

LOL!

"But she is widely known for her beautiful playing of violin, an instrument
that is hard and take long hours of practice daily to master."

An instrument that is hard. LOL

And how about this one:
"Sandra speaks
Bulgarian to her dad and Lao to her mum at home". Mind you, Alexandra's MOM is BULGARIAN, and her dad is LAO. Fact checking is also not his strongest point

Oi, I see Padek is in the house. You know Sandra could be speaking Bulgarian to her dad so he can practice and language and Lao to her mom so she can be practice the language as well.

But from watching an interview from Thai TV, Sandra said the language that is used in her house is strictly Bulgarian. That would make sense since you can talk about things without the neighbors knowing. In Laos, the walls are very thin unless you have acres of land to separate you from your neighbors.

In any case, Mr. Andy
Chanthavixay might appreciate your notice of his site. Based on my observations, most Laotians are not very good at giving criticism (contructive or not) because it is frown upon. This is not a good practices because when asked for an opinion, no one is willing to speak his/her mind. We only hear good things and the word “dee” or good is used without merit. But later, the mud will come out.

I don’t think any of his friends or family members are willing to give him advice on the site. Also, with such a big Lao online community, I am surprised that no one is willing to say anything to help him improve the site. Perhaps, he doesn’t take advice from anyone.

I’m glad I have some of you to keep me in lines. Then again, in the end I do what I want.
