How not to make a good impression

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

We’re testing a new bit of software at work, because we really haven’t been happy with our current vendor’s level of support. Given the fact that we told the salesperson of this new vendor that was why we were looking at their product, wouldn’t you make extra-double sure that when you sent us download instructions to get a 30 day trial of your software that the instructions were correct? Or that the installation guide was up to date? Having to guess our way through the download and the installation because your documentation is not up to date, does not give me a warm and fuzzy feeling about your level of support.

    Oh, by the way, there’s some stuff in Newsmonster that has some real promise. Both the integration with a PDA, and the Distributed Reputation System, which is not currently available, sound pretty interesting. I haven’t tried to integrate with the PDA, because that’s going to tie up some resources and disk space that I don’t…

    Some random thoughts from looking at traffic patterns for this site: Most of you read while you’re working. Not surprisingly, since I mostly blog about work, while I’m working. 🙂 Traffic peaks mid-week generally and drops slightly on Friday before dropping significantly over the weekend. The drop in traffic on weekends is less in the…

    Yes we are only working until noon today, which is cool. Angela and I are going to try and catch a showing of Gangs of New York this afternoon and dinner before the snow gets too bad this evening. I probably won’t be blogging again until I’m back at work on Thursday, so let me…
