FAQ Attack
What people should ask me
Q: Why is there no flash on your site?
A:
Mostly because of SEO. Google doesn't penetrate SWF files. Besides, I'm not completely in love with flash anyway. Plugins are great, but until it runs natively in the browser, I'm not thrilled.
Q: Why don't you admin your own server?
A: I don't have the time or resources to have a fully operational server. Instead I rent from HostGator. I've been with many different webhosts, and so far they're the best. The have a very reasonable price, fix problems fast, respond to emails quickly, and keep their software updated. You can check 'em out here: HostGator.
Q: How did you learn to do what you do?
A: I'm what you call and autodidact. That's a fancy way of saying I like to learn on my own, outside the classroom.
Q: What are your long term goals?
A: To rule the world, one website at a time. Also, to own a green home.
Q:
Where's all the PHP?
A: Not here. PHP's great, but the scope of this site doesn't really require me to use PHP. Straight XHTML is secure, reliable, and suits the content of this site just fine (well, except for the blog).
Q: If you're such a good programmer and designer, why the heck do you use Dreamweaver?
A: I'm writing all of the copy on this page in DW. I don't have to hunt in the source code to find the text I want to modify. Being able to see what your content will look like (sort of) while typing is a lot easier than having to switch windows and refresh Firefox every time I make a change.
Q: What is your weakness?
A: Kryptonite. Also kitties.
Q:
What's your favorite OS?
A: Truthfully, none. I use Vista at home, OSX at school, and Linux whenever I can. If I had the time or inclination, I would make my own foolproof OS. It wouldn't be Linux-based either. That's all the world needs, another stupid Linux distribution with a nonsensical name.
Q: If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
A: I would stop sleeping.
Q: You have a narcissistic and cynical sense of humor.
A: That's not a question.
