Wohoo! WarGames celebrates 25 today (well, 3rd June actually) and American Classic Movies is showing it uninterrupted. Tonight, there will be popcorn - oh yes ;)
...and in other news non-bill paying client got in touch with me so that's all good. Yay.

Keep It Simple, Stupid
Well, the 'Pricing Wizard' set of web-pages was a pretty good idea, but I think it was a bit clunky. So, in light of this, I've reworked it into something a lot more simple. As always it consists of my usual blend of bad layout and even worse HTML, but hey - I never claimed to have liked web design >:)

Let's Get Personal, People
Ahhh, gotta love 'Search and Replace'. Just went through and updated all the info@ and mydesign@ email references throughout the site and changed them all over to leighton@.
Yes, I know - a truly thrilling event here at FPDI. I'm sure that this will result in nothing but an absolute deluge of spam but you know what - I'd rather have that and put a unified 'personal' front on FPDI than hide behind lame, faceless aliases.

Sad Day At FPDI
Sad day here folks. Today - for the first time in four years of running FPDI I've had to unleash a 'nasty demand letter' to a client for non-payment.
Kinda sucks. I'd hoped that I'd never have to do this and in typical (global!) business owner style I let it ride on in the hope that after a few phone calls and emails and faxes that the matter would sort itself out.
Alas it has not, and now I find myself sitting in front of Word making forceful demands to a regular client who I hope - has simply 'forgotten', gone temporarily blind (in that he can't see the faxes, emails) as well as temporarily deaf (in that he hasn't heard any of my voicemails over the last two months).
Basically, I don't want to have to admit to myself that this guy is trying to stiff me.
It's hard not to build up relationships with regular clients and this guy is one of my oldest and now I have to do that hard thing which is extricate myself from the situation and unleash the hounds as it were.
On the upside at least I have something meaningful to put on this blog instead of the usual drivel I put out, so watch this space...
