Re: Hugh Fernley-Whittingstall - Chickens again

The reality I guess - is that those that don't care will find ways to knock Hugh and those that do care think that he has a decent point to make...

Re: Vegetarians - Do they have a point?

Sorry if the joke offended Daisy - but I guess my target market was meat eaters and so (as you know) it is almost inevitable that we are going to poke fun. Especially when almost all of us that know vegetarians know one who has 'slipped' for a bacon sandwich - no offence intended I assure you!

Nice to know we are in such illustrious company!

Do they like the new site?

Thanks for that Matt - I meant to include the link and didn't - sorted now!

Today? Absolutely - that is the tradition isn't it?

Easy to mention your plugin as I think it is great! I really look forward to your update, and perhaps you'll find the time to digg the post to make sure you are getting as many backlinks as possible?

Couldn't agree more swordie - and the Ferrari engine isn't doing quite so well is it? :)

Sorry you feel that way - but you are simply wrong.
Sure he was part of the blocking that was happening in the final seconds of the qualification phase - but this is a fault of the way that qualification is run, not something that any particular driver should be blamed for.
As for him being black and poor as a reason for his success - I am guessing you are white and well off, right? Racism has no place in this (or any other) sport, and if you are genuinely a sports fan I suggest you run into the 21st Century leaving your prejudices behind.

Nice piece Martin - really interesting.
I might just even start thinking a little more about the pics I take!

Unbelievable, huh?

Re: Just how much is Apple secrecy worth?

arbie — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 11:17:04 -0000

I don't disagree with that - but if I was a manufacturer I would rather have the enthusiasm. Even if some are disappointed, the sales will be there. No enthusiasm, no sales.
Obviously you can't keep disappointing - but the odd blip wont kill a company. No enthusiasm for the product will.

Re: A better, more responsive blog, powered by Disqus

arbie — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 08:18:33 -0000

I've implemented Disqus too - haven't tried the email response part yet - but based on your comments here I think I might wander over to my profile and take a look at that - sounds very convenient.
It would be great if I could work out the whole rating thing too - not entirely sure how to rate peoples comments - am I missing something?

I completely agree with your comments re: disqus which is why I have implemented their system on my blog. It'll be interesting to see if we are proven right!

Keep up the good work.

Is this really 'gut-busting'? Maybe it is just me being a brit....

Re: Just how much is Apple secrecy worth?

arbie — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 07:15:24 -0000

The point about secrecy is that it leads to enthusiasm about a new product release - particularly when there are 'whispers' in the lead up (which help Apple to market test even before the product hits the ground)

I do hope so!

Re: Rajiv Doshi .com - Added ShareThis and Disqus

Well so far it seems ok - the interface is straightforward and the comments look slightly better than the standard ones.
It will be interesting to see if it increases the amount of comments received.

I added disqus today so I will be interested to see if I like it as much as others seem to...

iPhone schmyphone.
It is a lot of fluff and nonsense that once the novelty wears of (and it will!) it is not as exciting as you first thought....

I installed disqus today - so I hope that I end up being as enthusiastic about it as you are!
