In case you haven't actually SEEN Petra's blog, it's a list of a 100 things you may or may not have done, you are supposed to differentiate between what you have or have not done... In case you couldn't figure that out. :)

Petra said...

Okay, so maybe I should have 'altered' the list for my blog as well. LOL!

Jackie said...

WOW, I didn't know that you had been to Israel. What's it like. My mom... obviously wants me to come! :D

And Africa... that's cool!! :D

Matthew said...

lol Petra. Yeah, turns out that was easier than actually trying to figure out how to change the font color... :)

I haven't actually been to Israel or Africa Jackie, I 'want' to go though... :)

Kind of funny though, some people automatically assume that I know something about web design, when I don't have an effing clue! "But don't you 'work on computers'??" They say. "Uh, yeah, but I don't know how to make web pages." I try to explain to them that back-end infrastructure has absolutely nothing to do with web design, but usually just give up... :)

Gotcha!! :D

lol Matt. I know! I worked someplace once, where they asked me (because I had worked with cold fusion) if I could do this complex re-design of their entire site/database/etc using cold fusion - talking to me like it should be no big deal and I could finish the whole thing in less than a month...

Uh... 1. because I have used cold fusion a *little* doesn't mean I know everything about it, and 2. pretty sure it's at least a year-long project they were talking about. So funny how people that know nothing about that stuff are just like "oh, you can do xyz so you should just be able to throw this together in 5 seconds." Wow. lol
