I'm too much of a control freak to trust a WYSIWYG editor and most of what I do is in javascript or similar and not just html.StyleyGeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10287051608503966129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20717535.post-14349110425118196332008-08-23T17:43:00.000+10:002008-08-23T17:43:00.000+10:00Styley, what application do you use to create webs...Styley, what application do you use to create websites for these various departments?Nicolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13330366795341751766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20717535.post-19470848429644653102008-08-22T12:50:00.000+10:002008-08-22T12:50:00.000+10:00Oh my gosh...

I've worked so many part-time/temporary jobs (imagine that: needing to supplement my HUGE grad student stipend?! pff.)... One time I worked at a call center that had an automated system whose instructions were led by the recorded voice of a woman named "Jenny." She would lead callers through the steps to open mailboxes, record names, etc.. I cannot tell you how many times people called back, asking to speak to "Jenny." They actually thought she was a REAL person. And they were so disappointed to find out that she was merely a recording...<BR/><BR/>Like finally finding out Santa Claus doesn't exist...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20717535.post-54092211839369806242008-08-22T05:21:00.000+10:002008-08-22T05:21:00.000+10:00Teehee.
