We decided to start a blog. Why? I'm a blog addict and we're working in the digital industry, so it seems rude not to. It's also a good way to put your work online if you don't have the brain or money to build your own website. James has only ever contributed to
one blog before (an amazing 3 posts!), so this will be a good experience for him.
Two Men Eating For Three came to us in a moment of inspiration at breakfast, and if we didn't call it something we wouldn't be here. We may change it to something else. It will have something to do with food - 'Just one more sausage' or something.
Okay, this isn't going to be one of those blogs that post willy-nilly. You'll only hear from us when we've got something awesome and life changing to show or tell you. See you soon.
"About Me: Just call me 'Mr. Fabulous'. No, seriously. I want to be known as 'Mr Fabulous' because I've yet to meet somebody half as brilliant as me.
Well, today it's been me. I've been writing the error messages and instructional copy for a large corporate site. I don't know what I've done in a previous life to deserve such a task , but whatever it was it must've been bad. I actually found myself trying to re-write 'send to a friend'. 'Send to someone you know who will enjoy this too' - too long. 'Send to a mate' - too matey. Clearly the task was getting to me. I began searching the web for a list of generic error messages. No luck. Suddenly it dawned on me. I was actually going to have to write these bloody things. Now it's all over, I've decided to start collecting these little messages. Things like: 'We were unable to accept your order as one or more of the fields has not been completed' This is a really useful one. I might collect them in a Panini Sticker Album type of way - got, got, need... Anyway, I've got some automated responses to write for a useful online tool...
