<br />
Here's what Google +1 offers (or doesn't):<br />
<br />
<ol style="text-align: left;"><li><b>+1 to make Search Results more Relevant - </b>or so they say. Aside from being a copy of Facbook's 'Like' button, there isn't much to Google +1. Just Facebook, you can see your friends recommendations after you sign in.</li>
<li><b>Affects on Search Rankings - </b>Highly unlikely! Google "might" incorporate +1 recommendations in the search results in the future but it's not happening any time soon. And when it does, who do you think would jump at the opportunity the most? SEOs of course! And then there will be another story of SEO spamming etc etc.</li>
<li><b>Incorporating Twitter Results - </b>Google said no to that already! They're already showing Twitter results through their search engine, you think they're crazy to give Facebook and Twitter all the credit? :P</li>
<li><b>Flickr Recommendations - </b>While it's not visible now, but Google says that it will use data from Flickr for its +1 recommendations.</li>
<li><b>Third Party Effects on Search Results - </b>When Google considers Twitter and Facebook in its search results, it's sure to take direct recommendations from its very own +1, but that's for future use they say.</li>
</ol><br />
<b>What Google is Doing</b><br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;"><li><b>Competing with Facebook - </b>LOL! Google is known for this, aren't they? I think they believe in the philosophy... If you can't beat em, join em ;) Has to be so, since Google has the habit of buying anything that shows even a bit of competition and when they can't do that, they try and compete. Just like they 'tried' to do so with Twitter by launching the (oh-so-failed) Buzz.</li>
<li><b>Trying for a Google Community - </b>Millions of users stay logged in to Facebook 24/7, and with a good reason too. Facebook is highly interactive and has a lot to offer. Who would want to stay online on Gmail all this time? Unless you're a crazy SEO... I can already hear collective whines! </li>
<li><b>Effects on SEO - </b>Since Google announced that it will consider +1 recommendations in the search results and it's likely to effect site rankings, don't you think that will create a mass black hat out break? Well they are calling for it! People can easily create so many Gmail accounts, log in and +1 their sites. Or ask their friends and family to do that same from their dozens of accounts. How is that going to help with authentic results?</li>
</ul><br />
Sometime I wonder if Google even thinks before launching stuff like this or maybe they just do it for the sake of competition!</div>khÃn§äháßhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00641313149798068187noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8906763010166943057.post-46426899972090678732010-12-13T15:26:00.007+05:002010-12-13T15:42:18.367+05:00OMG!

Users will gradually start viewing the new interface over the next few weeks.</div><div><br /></div><div>I have been using the new twitter for past couple of days and I have to admit its pretty cool and sleak looking. I like how they have made things more interactive and available to users in the right panel. One of the best features is how one click on someone's name can open the page up in the right panel, all the while keeping your personal page running on the left. Now that is cool! It's loads better than clicking on someone's name and then going to their page and then coming back to your home page.</div><div><br /></div></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu45YJ9B5shzh908ddWk3wUqfwucBmwyN2F1-2Bx0rpXb7Se0uLx8J-FngsPJOXTU4t_ZJ_cxon7Rip2hz1bLM0bUDaEAQBvsRJmtbnoMG9cZWiImg-7M5rxDZ9ROvXBJGiVD1o4F80JU/s1600/new+twitter+image.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 286px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu45YJ9B5shzh908ddWk3wUqfwucBmwyN2F1-2Bx0rpXb7Se0uLx8J-FngsPJOXTU4t_ZJ_cxon7Rip2hz1bLM0bUDaEAQBvsRJmtbnoMG9cZWiImg-7M5rxDZ9ROvXBJGiVD1o4F80JU/s400/new+twitter+image.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521932284667926034" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><b><a href="http://twitter.com/DesignDef">New Twitter Interface</a></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>One of the things I found slightly preplexing for the first day or two was the missing 'Find People' button. I couldn't locate it anywhere. The new twitter interface offer you better search options. Now we can not only search for terms but also find people via the search box loacted at the top. You enter your search term and get a new page where there are options to furture specify your search. Nice!</div><div><div><div><br /></div><div>What's left is Twitter adding paid ads at the bottom of the right panel, since there is space to do something like that there. Or perhaps they'll have more ideas. Anywho, overall its a more sophisticated interface which is more organized and is definately more faster (since I don't have to click on the 'More Tweets' button anymore.) All you have to do is scroll down and twitter will keep showing the older tweets without you asking twice. Is that cool or what? :D</div></div></div>khÃn§äháßhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00641313149798068187noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8906763010166943057.post-83762785664018601282010-09-15T12:13:00.005+05:002010-09-15T14:47:12.865+05:00Caffeine + Instant = Google Me.

Sure, Google is doing all this to provide us with 'authentic' results but why can't they make an update and then let us be for a while longer than just a few months? I wonder!</div><div><br /></div><div>Google Me is working in collaboration with Facebook and will be providing a 'social layer' in the search results that will top all other results, including basic search, videos and Maps. <a href="http://thenextweb.com/google/2010/09/15/google-me-is-confirmed-for-fall-social-layers-incoming/">Read more>></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Google Instant searches are based on assumptions.

Google will stop at nothing... especially not when its integrity is being threatened.

Unless you have already seen the privacy wizard on facebook (or ignored it, as many have) you are likely to see it as soon as you sign in your facebook account.<br /><br />While the new privacy setting are suppose to make it easier for the user to control his/her information, the recent changes are drawing a mixed reaction from the audience. Here are the 5 key areas of concern:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">Search Settings:</span>Many users are complaining that the option in the search settings to turn their profile 'public' has been now turned on, although many seemed to have specifically turned it off years ago. This has recently been done in order to make info on facebook more accessible to search engines and if you don't want to have a public profile, do yourself a favor and make sure that your index settings are 'off'. Just go to <span style="font-style: italic;">Settings>Privacy Settings>Search</span> to check if you are being indexed or not.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">Personal Information:</span> Seems like under the new privacy setting of facebook your 'private' information is no longer private. That's because facebook doesn't think that it should remain private anymore. Turns out that most of your information including your profile picture, friends list, gender, fan pages, location and networks will be turning up on the search results after all.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">Friends List: </span>Turns out that while you can still control the list of friends from appearing on your profile page, it's privacy setting is no longer available on the privacy page. See the small pencil icon right above your friend's list? Well, it turns out that you need to click on that and uncheck the 'show my friends on my profile page' option, if you want your friends list to remain private.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">Password Protection:</span> Seems like facebook tried adding another layer of protection to your account! When you try to change your privacy setting you will be asked to give your password one more time before you can make any changes. However experts are confirming that this isn't quite working out as it should. They are still have timeout issues in this area.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">More Control:</span> Where facebook is taking away some of the control from its users, it is also giving you a lot more control in some places. For instance, now you can even control who sees your latest updates and shared content. Don't want some of your friends to see your latest update?

And yes, there are things that you might want to delete from your Facebook account now (since it will show on your profile otherwise), it just goes to show that anything you put on the internet is public in the end. Maybe Facebook's latest privacy settings are not such a bad thing after all, as it will surely make you think twice before sharing anything on the internet again.khÃn§äháßhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00641313149798068187noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8906763010166943057.post-89699006477214533652009-12-10T16:20:00.006+05:002009-12-10T16:41:33.597+05:00Quotes from the Golden Compass (the Northern Lights)<span style="font-size:100%;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-01dM55neLPTQrYBsqObSO43P_i-3N-EZi0CJUI3G1ARXHJuEdeagT-0y74rSiD4_qCJrmBUwh_gpqoa-hY5aFPkSXQcFijwcjfeAYcmrNKkWbmQOdFesZubkDhI_kU39_oN9MEP3gDw/s1600-h/16149_200717241260_683741260_3681004_6000794_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-01dM55neLPTQrYBsqObSO43P_i-3N-EZi0CJUI3G1ARXHJuEdeagT-0y74rSiD4_qCJrmBUwh_gpqoa-hY5aFPkSXQcFijwcjfeAYcmrNKkWbmQOdFesZubkDhI_kU39_oN9MEP3gDw/s400/16149_200717241260_683741260_3681004_6000794_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413566273537202098" border="0" /></a></span><span style="font-size:100%;">I started reading the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Northern Lights</span> by Philip Pullman a few days back and I was mesmerized by the intensity and dept of the novel. Like Harry Potter (or perhaps it's wrong to compare as both are classics in their own regard) the Northern Lights (also known as <span style="font-weight: bold;">The Golden Compass</span>) bewitches you from the very first line and takes you on an interesting journey in Lyra's world.<br /><br />Some of the dialogues of the characters and the narrative itself (at places) offers such dept in thought and philosophy that one can't help but begin to ponder upon it. And the concept of daemons is not only clever but completely fantastic. Truth be told, we all have our own daemon we fight against or listen to and Philip Pullman very intelligently gives these daemon of ours the character and essence that gives them a persona of their own (but nevertheless of it's owner). These daemons are but only our inner conscience... the little voices in our head that speak to us.<br /><br />All that said and done, here are a couple of quotes from the book <span style="font-style: italic;">the Golden Compass</span>:<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">"...there are two worlds: the world of everything we can see and hear and touch, and another world, the spiritual world of heaven and hell. </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">(There is possibility of)</span><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"> the existence of numerous other worlds, like this one, neither heaven nor hell, but material and sinful. They are there, close by, but invisible and unreachable."</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">"</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">(It is)</span><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"> the duty of the old, to be anxious on behalf of the young. And the duty of the young is to scorn the anxiety of the old."</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">"There's no tongue that's so tied, when tying's needed, as the one that babbles most bewhiles. Babbling covers a lot of secrets."</span><br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br />And those of you who have read the book will love </span><span style="font-size:100%;">the movie. However those of you who have watched the movie without reading the book will not only be lost in places but will end up being disappointed. </span>khÃn§äháßhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00641313149798068187noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8906763010166943057.post-2344346634206338582009-11-23T15:55:00.010+05:002009-11-23T16:27:27.552+05:0010 Best New Moon PostersThe New Moon mania is still going strong.

Sometimes we learn the hard way but it's a lesson well learned.<br /><br />Given below are the 5 mistakes most of us end up making in our freelancing careers:<br /><ol><li><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">Charging Low: </span>Anyone who has ever freelanced knows exactly what I'm talking about. While many of us end up accepting slave wages for many projects initially, we must know exactly where to draw the line. Underpricing, up to a certain level is alright, especially when you are an amateur in the field. However charging low gradually will lead the client to believe that your work is of lower quality and that you are desperate. That is why you need to price well and ask for what your work is worth. While building up a clientele is also important, asking for lower charges after a couple of projects will only end up degrading you and your work.<span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"></span></li><li><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">Not Getting it in Writing:</span> Don't ever underestimate the power of writing. And that goes for getting all your terms and condition written down clearly when starting a project with any client. Many a times Freelancers end up taking the client's word for something and end up regretting it when the client either point blankly refuses to have made such a claim or changes their mind after you have completed the project. Getting the need and requirements of your client as your own terms and conditions in writing as well will give you a clear cut idea about the project and will save you from a lot of hassle and disappointments.<span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"></span></li><li><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">Not Being Clear:</span> Another mistake which most freelancers end up making is of not being very clear. When you make a clear agreement with the client you end up saving yourself major future trouble. Be clear about the requirements from both ends (yours and the clients). As client can sometime end up changing their requirements as they go along, make sure that you are very clear and understand everything before starting work on a project.</li><li><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">Being too Proactive: </span>No need to be too proactive when it comes to starting a project after initial contact from a potential client. Serious clients will reach out to you actively and will not hesitate in drawing up a contract. Only the non-serious clients will back out before the project is complete. That can be deflating. That is why make sure that you pay special attention to point# 2 & 3.</li><li><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">Losing Client to a petty Demand:</span> Sometimes it is worth giving a discount. If you have a huge project and your client is making an issue about your charges being too high, make sure that you give the client a good discount, instead of losing a client. Making a client feel special by giving them a good discount will not only be good for your business but will also make the client come back. I know that's what I did... With a couple of initial huge projects I offered my clients a small article or two free. This way they pay you what you ask and quit whining about the cost ;)</li></ol>Sure it's good to learn from your own mistakes but it's even better to learn from the mistakes made by others and avoid it yourself.khÃn§äháßhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00641313149798068187noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8906763010166943057.post-27124479762007554882009-10-05T12:51:00.017+06:002009-10-05T15:18:19.688+06:00Money Matters - The Freelance Rant<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPuf234UKXS_QM-uscC3tGFftgQgqRCHP4Pt70BlGhDpRR4eUh2vCW0W3VH9FKXF2oyxNodtoqRlZehcwB1ZkNCNFHVw39KCLF04jLYek_HJbwZxQnGfro3GMek-2qEMexvtBi6il6BYc/s1600-h/happy_with_money.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 156px; height: 184px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPuf234UKXS_QM-uscC3tGFftgQgqRCHP4Pt70BlGhDpRR4eUh2vCW0W3VH9FKXF2oyxNodtoqRlZehcwB1ZkNCNFHVw39KCLF04jLYek_HJbwZxQnGfro3GMek-2qEMexvtBi6il6BYc/s320/happy_with_money.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389037889599766770" border="0" /></a>Freelancing can teach you a whole a lot about money matters than any other job. Since it rarely provides with a steady paycheck, freelancing helps promote financial responsibility and a more creditworthy saving and spending.<br /><br />While maintaining a stable income on the freelancing road is tricky business, still there are many who have made good money treading on this path.<br /><br />Here are <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">5 Reasons Why Freelancing = better Money Matters:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">>> Cut back on Apparel costs:</span> Since working from home means that you can wear anything <span style="font-style: italic;">(be it lounging around in your PJ's all day)</span> you really need not worry about spending a fortune on clothes, shoes and accessories every month. This not only helps cut back on cost as it allows you to wear casual clothing, which is practical and more more cheaper, but it also lets you save up that money.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">>> Save up on Car and Fuel:</span> By not going to an office you save up big time on fuel costs and car maintenance bills. You might even entirely give up on a car altogether <span style="font-style: italic;">(if it works for you)</span>. That in turn means no car insurance or registration payments etc.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">>> No more Extra Expanses:</span> 9-5 jobs lead to stress which in turn leads you to indulge in stress-revealing trips and expensive vacations. But these are so not needed when you are a freelancer because then you become<a href="http://streynjur.blogspot.com/2009/05/vacation-virtues-refueling-your.html"> creating a work schedule around your play time</a> ;)<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">>> Save up on Office-related Taxes:</span> No more 9-5 means no more office related taxes. Now no one can cut back taxes from your monthly payment.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">>> Timely Raise:</span> Working as a freelancer means that you get to give yourself a raise when you deserve one. No need to worry about asking the boss for one or feeling subjected to overload of work with the increase in payment. A good raise every year is what you can easily give to yourself if you are a freelancer.<br /><br />So there you have it...

You don't have to depend on a boss to reap the merits of your hard work.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">>> Freedom...</span> to do things your way! You get to decide where you work and how.

Being a freelancer allows your to focus on things you love to do along with your work. It allows you to decide the kind of living you want to have and not forsake your happiness.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">>> Job Security...</span> Since you are your own boss you need not worry about getting fired or laid off.

There are many freelancers who have gone on to create successful businesses with the variety and creativity they offer in their field.<br /><br />And yes, freelancing is all-that and much more! Of course if you are new in this field then getting clients will be the biggest challenge for you in the beginning. But once you get the hang of freelancing, there is little that anyone can do that will make you leave it for good.khÃn§äháßhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00641313149798068187noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8906763010166943057.post-2924585316582613702009-09-01T09:24:00.000+06:002009-09-01T14:25:37.268+06:00Hooked to Freelancing - Why I Stuck to Freelancing<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-wc4UUR783jUlmiaWi4mM9Pi0gjnHBZUVvjyONcLgRJsjEAFMV7mKc69bZFoBjU8ywcCzbfDB63Bzc3PnqfTnPKrBNtuVtNAb7RPhL-K8-sJefQexetXHt90v9FhSmPyVNM_D4QflT8c/s1600-h/happy+freelancing.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 263px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-wc4UUR783jUlmiaWi4mM9Pi0gjnHBZUVvjyONcLgRJsjEAFMV7mKc69bZFoBjU8ywcCzbfDB63Bzc3PnqfTnPKrBNtuVtNAb7RPhL-K8-sJefQexetXHt90v9FhSmPyVNM_D4QflT8c/s320/happy+freelancing.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376025246686339954" border="0" /></a>Freelancing is all but fun and although many people get lured into it because of the apparent comforts it offers (because it's said to be "all that"), the truth is that it's not exactly everyone's cup of tea. Today I thought of sharing with you a few facts about freelancing. Facts that got me...<br />1) hooked to freelancing,<br />2) still has me hooked after all this time and<br />3) makes me think twice about going for a 9-5 job again.<br /><br />Here's why I decided to stick to Freelancing:<br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">1) Comfortable Week Plan:</span> Allows me to work as I want and when I want. I sometimes spend 3 continuous days working and give myself off for 2 days or work every alternate day or however I desire. The best part is that I make my own schedule and can give myself long weekends after tiresome projects.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">2) Coz I'm the Boss, that's why!:</span> Best part about freelancing is of course being your own boss. But this isn't just as easy as it sounds. Unless you are willing to take responsibility for your own actions, nag yourself about deadlines and keep yourself up to the mark... freelancing just isn't for you. And sure it has it's down side too but to be honest, if handled well, freelancing is the best job in the world. Because you don't work for some company, you get no office politics, you can create your own leisure time etc etc.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">3) It's My Way or the Highway:</span> I not only get to choose what projects I take but also decide how much I charge, when I socialize, make time for myself and do as I please because I have the authority to have it my way.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">4) Enjoy Work: </span>If you have a flair for what you do and can have things your way, then freelancing is the way to go. And why not? Give or take a few things it all comes down to the fact that freelancing offers you a relaxed schedule and much peace of mind. No matter what time of the day or what season, with freelancing you get to enjoy every weather and every time of the day. No more 9 - 5. You can work at whatever hours suit you well.<br /><br />So there you have it... my basic reasons for sticking with freelancing after all this time and despite other possibilities. Although I've summed it all up in just 4 points, all this rant about generally comes down to the<span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"> 'sense of control'</span> you feel when you're in-charge. Even though sometimes you end up working over 40 hours a week but in the end it's all worth it as you make your own choices and no one gets to boss you around expect you! ;)khÃn§äháßhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00641313149798068187noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8906763010166943057.post-72068133390147273892009-08-31T14:09:00.002+06:002009-09-01T14:24:38.185+06:00Paint the Change - Call for "Positive Pakistan"<img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 339px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSfRyIOZEbkkAfUPKCzb7xcp_00sPwHgqEs2RXaqyC1e9Ot7JofOAd-n0x2Ofyk1PgyayBe-IZNoC-YBhz9nMdwW7X7hMmr3rz2nvL7imWtOxfmdVimP7e1YeIjMHgQrbPcvSaUl38m6E/s400/Paint+for+Change.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376409505711104018" border="0" /><span style="font-weight: bold;">DawnNews</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold;">I Own Karachi</span> are joining hands to clean up Karachi!<br />Vandalized or graffiti walls will be cleaned up and beautified with art created by students and volunteers.

Since it's normally the first thing you see soon after your PC starts up it generally ends up determining your mood for the remaining day. So, why not make sure that it turns your mood around for the better? Even in the most darkest of days I depend on my desktop wallpaper to make me feel all better. And why not? Colors and images effect our minds to a great extent. So much so that sometimes even the most depressive of moods can take a swing for the happy side.<br /><br />That is why starting from today we are celebrating a month of color on this blog. Every week I will bring you dozens of creative and cheery wallpapers in keeping with our theme for this month. Today we start with the <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">10 most colorful wallpapers</span> that are not only cheerful to look at but will also make you feel happy when they are on your desktop :)<br /><br />~ Cheers<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://wallpaper.diq.ru/12__Rainbow_Spheres.htm"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Some of these are going to be nice, some not so and some will be just downright annoying. Here's a look at a few typical ones you might end up working for...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">>> The Rush Package:</span> This is the client who wants work done instantly. He wants it now, whether you like it or not. Impatient and restless, this client will have little regard for you or your concerns. He is only worried about his project and you better start working on it right away, delivering it within the next hour or else!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">How to Deal:</span> Generally the best way to deal with such a client is to ask for an extra amount of <span style="font-style: italic;">'rush fee'</span> which you can take in advance (or however it suits you). Unless you are getting a week on the project or a good amount of time asking for an extra fee is a better idea. You have to show the client that while his work is priority, you will also be cutting time on various other project of yours to get his done, so it's only fair to ask for that rush fee. Also this kind of helps calm the client down and who knows, you just might get a few breathing hours or days on the project.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">>> The Perfectionists: </span>This client wants top-notch work, the best ever work quality and everything utterly perfect. They will perhaps even make you re-check, double check and triple check your work before they are perfectly sure that you have done a nice job. Of course you are not getting paid for all the extra time you will be spending beating yourself up on their projects, and why should you... as they would say "It's your job!".<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">How to Deal:</span> Make sure that you set your terms and conditions before taking up any project. Let the client know how you work, what you would and would not do as well. It's always better the play your cards right with this one and make a game plan before you start the project.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">>> The Want it All: </span>This guys would want it all. Apart from the work you are assigned he'd want you to take a look at this or a peek at that or do something about this and edit a bit of that. Mind you, he isn't going to pay you for all that extra work because well, he's short on budget. Of course he wouldn't mind getting 10 times as much work out of you for the cost of one.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">How to Deal: </span>Proceed with caution with this one. If you feel at any time that he is asking for more work just send him a quote. Simply make a list of services you offer and your price for it and send it to him in reply to his asking for more work. You need to put your foot down somewhere, you are not running a charity but of course if the work you are doing is for a good cause you might want to reconsider all of the above.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">>> The Unsure:</span> Normally clients don't know much about the working of what they hire you to do. Some might have a know-how but most are just counting you to offer advice and do a good job. They depend on you to make the right choices and establish a good ground for their project. However these guys are unpredictable and you need to be careful when dealing with them.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">How to Deal:</span> Since this guy can be extremely fussy you need to make him understand your boundaries and make sure he doesn't end up asking for a lot of revisions. Because chances are that he might. Be very sure about the things that you are doing and stand your ground as an expert at what you do best so that the client can feel relaxed too. If he isn't .... well tough luck!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">>> The Laid-back: </span>This client wants work, that's for sure, but he'll probably be too lazy to send in details on time. He'll message you about the new project he has, or something urgent that he wants and disappear when you ask for details or will not reply back when you ask him something in the middle of the project.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">How to Deal: </span>Best way to deal with this guy is to send him an email asking him what you need to know and make sure that you tell him that you cannot proceed until he replies. Or become as laid back as that client. Chances are that he'll be understanding enough or lazy enough to care ;)<br /><br />So there you have it... crazy clients of this crazy freelancing world (where people expect you to work more for a meager pay). You're welcome to add to this list :)khÃn§äháßhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00641313149798068187noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8906763010166943057.post-23318058815307509342009-07-17T20:07:00.009+06:002009-07-17T20:58:44.089+06:005 (more) Things To Do When You Have Nothing To Do<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAIsu7aAhouoC_0YSFYFPV63B4X8yvcKZJqx6LDOIuq4pmg9IrnsrYr5ldiEGE5Nx8wcC6ucafZfEPvxd1qPtS33mtZJwgmwZV7oP_N7MfbcTbiFFf71k6CH1prelB_xPyLRr92XOnwg4/s1600-h/happywoman.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 264px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAIsu7aAhouoC_0YSFYFPV63B4X8yvcKZJqx6LDOIuq4pmg9IrnsrYr5ldiEGE5Nx8wcC6ucafZfEPvxd1qPtS33mtZJwgmwZV7oP_N7MfbcTbiFFf71k6CH1prelB_xPyLRr92XOnwg4/s400/happywoman.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359431204502368338" border="0" /></a>Here are 5 more things to add to your list of <span style="font-weight: bold;">'<a href="http://streynjur.blogspot.com/2009/07/freelancing-blues-what-to-do-when-you.html">What to do when you have Nothing to do</a>'</span>:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">1. Enjoy the Weather:</span> Take a chill pill and enjoy the weather! Go out and play around on a raining day, hang out with friends on a sunny day, enjoy a cold day by snuggling up by the fire or eat a bucket full of ice cream on a really hot day. Whatever the weather, learn to live your life to the fullest!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">2. Renovate:</span> Get your creative juices flowing and make plans for renovating your space, be it your office, bedroom or the whole place. Think of a few ideas, search some online, look in a couple of magazines, watch interior design shows or take the help of family and friends... just get up and get busy. Renovating will help you get creative as you play around with colors and patterns.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">3. Build Something:</span> Whether its making a city with Lego or making pottery or simply carving out something on a piece of wood, make something that is fun and interesting.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">4. Get a Makeover:</span> Bored out of your wits? Get a new haircut, try out that new top you saw in the shop the other day, go buy some hot new shoes or better yet get a complete new makeover. And why not? If you are bored with the usual you, you'd be surprised how much different and lighter a brand new makeover can make you feel. Don't forget to take some good friends along!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">5. Try Extreme Sports:</span> Be it para gliding, dirt biking or rock climbing, extreme sports is for the young at heart and a whole a lot of fun. You will be surprised at the exhilaration and thrill you would get out of trying something new and adventurous.<br /><br />Don't let those freelancing blues get you down. So what if you are out of work for a while, just remember that this free time that you have on your hands right now isn't going to last forever, it's just smart to make the best of it today then. Capture the moment and enjoy your free time instead of sulking in the darkness. In short... just get up and do something! ;)khÃn§äháßhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00641313149798068187noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8906763010166943057.post-12534210103088357682009-07-15T15:35:00.008+06:002009-07-15T19:02:21.134+06:00Freelancing Blues: What To Do When You Have Nothing To Do!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjuxY8HCl_5MTCunIb12AdNtpqDNx4Qn6Rw6SaMXb6gYleRRMP20UdV3qNjJDYxaEWyJ4pFkLfVUEyDCgJP9Bj_k4vY158CJ2WDFUM4XorpbhY5L2p3yXnePr_66K1c1dbdfGsIzpi_dQ/s1600-h/happy_child.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 206px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjuxY8HCl_5MTCunIb12AdNtpqDNx4Qn6Rw6SaMXb6gYleRRMP20UdV3qNjJDYxaEWyJ4pFkLfVUEyDCgJP9Bj_k4vY158CJ2WDFUM4XorpbhY5L2p3yXnePr_66K1c1dbdfGsIzpi_dQ/s320/happy_child.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358655392157262514" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">And we're back in the game! So much for the entertainment posts... we'll be giving a rest to that for now (of course we'll keep certain updates coming in from time to time). But at the moment let's start off with our freelancing business once again. The interval was slightly too long for my taste ;)</span><br /></span><br />Aha yes, the Freelancing Blues! For which I must say that you are not truly a freelancer yet if you haven't suffered from the blues :)<br /><br />Every freelancer, whether you are a writer, painter, designer or do anything that can be freelanced, has suffered from the freelancing blues every once in a while. But mostly it's the artistic writers and painters who are known to suffer from these blues more often. From depression to self-obsession and stress, freelancers are prone to suffer from any of these when they have nothing to do. If you are a victim of the <span style="font-style: italic;">'nothing to do'</span>, then you need to know about the <span style="font-style: italic;">'where from' </span>and <span style="font-style: italic;">'how to'</span> bring in the light in order to fight the blues. So read on and get inspired...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">9 Surefire Ways to Fight the Freelancing Blues:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">Take a Vacation: </span>A vacation is a good thing when you have nothing to do. In fact, it's a great thing! Plan a vacation with friends or family. Go on an adventure trip or plan a getaway to a romantic hideout, whatever your interest maybe. A good long vacation will help you relax and help you de-stress.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">Get Entertained: </span>Catch up on some funny sitcoms (there are so many good ones out there these days), go out with your friends on a movie date or just rent a movie and enjoy as your blues start to fade away.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">Read a Book: </span>If you were ever an avid reader or enjoy reading then now is the time to pick up a good book and start that reading habit. Reading not only takes you into a whole new world but also helps fight away the depression that just might be lurking in the corner.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">Socialize and Party: </span>Perhaps your freelancing work kept you too occupied for months and you never got to go out with your friends like the way you wanted. Now that you have nothing to do, it's probably best to spend some quality time with your friends. Plan a get-together or throw a party, whatever you do just enjoy yourself and understand that this free time won't last forever.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">Volunteer:</span> Time on your hand must be well spent, lest it is wasted. Join some volunteer program or help the community by joining a community program. No only is this self satisfying but will earn you some blessings as well.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">Develop a New Talent: </span>There must be something that you wanted to do? Perhaps you want to learn how to fish or horseback riding? Maybe you have always wanted to learn how to paint or do some creative writing? Or perhaps you wanted to know how to design a website for work purposes? Now is a good time to start! You have time in hand so don't just sit there thinking what to do, join a course and learn a new trick today.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">Exercise or Meditate:</span> Meditation helps fight stress and exercise will not just help you stay fit but will also make you feel good about yourself. Take out time for yourself now that you have time on your hand and explore new horizons.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">Spend time with your Family: </span>Go out on that shopping trip that you have been long planning with your sister, spend hours talking with your mother, go on a long walk with your father and hang out with your brother. Try making up for all those times that you missed out on your family because of work perhaps. They will appreciate it and so will you. Oh and don't forget your family pet (if you have one), do spend some quality time grooming or playing with it. It's all for the best.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">Catch up on that Lost Sleep: </span>It's not like you lose a lot of sleep if you only freelance but sometimes working on crazy schedules and meeting deadlines can lose you a bit of that sleep you so desire. Now would be a good time to catch up on that lost sleep. Doze off to slumber land and sleep long hours but don't overdo it lest it turns into something as dangerous as <a href="http://streynjur.blogspot.com/2009/04/hypersomnia-wake-up-call.html">hypersomnia</a>. Just remember not to leave out on all the important things in life while you're at it!<br /><br />Which reminds me... I'll go catch up on that well-deserved sleep as well. Just a good eight hours and then I'm ready to think of some more creative ways of spending these work-less days ;)<br />Until next time... keep fighting those unnecessary freelancing blues!khÃn§äháßhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00641313149798068187noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8906763010166943057.post-18052229647275605532009-07-13T13:00:00.006+06:002009-07-13T20:06:17.088+06:00Taylor 'Grows' for Jacob Black - New Moon Highlights<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://gossipteen.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/taylor-lautner-jacob-black-twilight-photos.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBh8vwimdESQGed28TwYeR-Hg2bvpgZ7UW-kDfdDeQTDMGDpE17HTuIA0Nyg7Rn-fwqFeECMUlahR35Vqxosr3qJ4FOH2xq4WaRqSDnPKwSJV4p6UwlNZlQUDKiknbpKiYD44G9L5l8mg/s320/taylor-lautner-jacob-black-twilight-photos.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357944468015224306" border="0" /></a>While the casting of Taylor Lautner for the role of Jacob Black in the movie <span style="font-style: italic;">Twilight</span> remained disputed, film makers considered dropping Taylor for <span style="font-style: italic;">'<span style="font-weight: bold;">New Moon</span>'. </span>The main reason being that, like the audience, they were unsure of his appearance and transformation for the sequel. Those of you who have read the books already know that Jacob is a gangly 17 year old who looks older for his age and Taylor didn't seem like he would be growing a lot any time soon. And while the film makers found someone to replace him, Taylor had some surprises for them up his sleeves. Turns out that Taylor Lautner, in apprehension of the sequel, had started working out as soon as the shooting for <span style="font-style: italic;">Twilight</span> ended. News is that he has gained almost 26 pounds. On the bright side, at least he can act better than <a href="http://streynjur.blogspot.com/2009/07/robert-pattinson-killed-edward-cullen.html">Robert Pattinson</a> (Edward). Who knows... he just might even look better in the next movie. *Fingers crossed*khÃn§äháßhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00641313149798068187noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8906763010166943057.post-27758952481267360392009-07-04T17:42:00.007+06:002009-07-04T18:32:28.764+06:00Robert Pattinson killed Edward Cullen in Twilight<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://toorakclibrary.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/twilight-2_robert20pattinson20edward2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 207px; height: 290px;" src="http://toorakclibrary.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/twilight-2_robert20pattinson20edward2.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Over 3,000 people voted for <a href="http://www.dreadcentral.com/img/reviews/twib.jpg">Robert Pattinson</a> to play the role of Edward for the movie <span style="font-style: italic;">Twilight</span>. And while they all were perhaps mesmerized by his acting skills in various other movies, I'm sure that most of them were very disappointed by his <span style="font-style: italic;">Twilight</span> role.<br /><br />Although earlier Pattinson announced that he was not looking forward to the next installment of the Twilight franchise, his excuse for his bad acting was <a href="http://news.mibba.com/Entertainment/748/Is-Robert-Pattinson-Fit-for-the-Role-of-Edward-Cullen">*contact lenses*</a>. Duh! You can do better than that dude! Did he not know that his acting just stink all over the movie?<br /><br />So Pattinson went out to blame the orange contact lenses for his pathetic acting skills in Twilight. He literally killed, if not murdered, Edwards characters single handedly. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Word of advice</span>... he should really take some acting lessons. Leave alone the close-up shots in the movie. He just couldn't act. Period. Maybe he should go watch movies like <a href="http://www.sonypictures.com/homevideo/underworld/"><span style="font-style: italic;">Underworld</span></a> and <a href="http://www.vanhelsing.net/"><span style="font-style: italic;">Van Helsing</span></a>. Would give him the jest of what vampires are suppose to be like. Sure vampires are all white and dead but they are mysterious too. Of course vampires have weird eye colors and talk in undertones but they give expressions that match their words perfectly. Unlike Edward, who delivered his lines as if he had memorized them. And no expressions :(<br /><br />You have to do better next time! Otherwise... the movie will stink more. Not that it stinks any less now :pkhÃn§äháßhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00641313149798068187noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8906763010166943057.post-33586150842562709692009-07-01T16:34:00.000+06:002009-07-01T21:16:21.762+06:00Movie Wallpapers - from Twilight to New MoonSearch for a <span style="font-style: italic;">Twilight </span>wallpaper online and you'll find over thousands of them.
