What's Noo?
A blog for noobies by Patric Welch, techie and all around fun guy.
Tomorrow, April 24, 2010 will be Noobie's 4th birthday. So today will be less about blogging and more about celebrating and saying thank you. Celebrating of course because Noobie is still in business and still going strong. When I walked out of my last full-time job four year ago, my father said to me, "I doubt you'll ever work for anyone else again." So far, he's right. And don't think for a second that I don't know who has allowed me to live my dream of owning my own business. It's you. My clients. My readers. My followers. My supporters.… Continue reading...
Yesterday, my Internet connection was down nearly the entire day. It started out with some spotty on again, off again connectivity and then finally died around 10:00 a.m. While I thought it might be fun to show how creative I had to be to get work done yesterday, I thought it would be even more fun to talk about what I couldn't get done. This should be as horrific as it is entertaining.

Here is this week's roundup of Twitter highlights posted from my Twitter account: Watched the movie District 9 last night. Is it me, or does the ending to this move virtually guarantee a District 10 movie 3 years from now? I would like to publicly announce that I have "I hate when people open cabinet doors and then don't shut them" syndrome. Just finished mowing the lawn at a record-breaking 8 SPMs. That's sneezes per minute. I just ordered 2 kids meals at BK with my son. The lady said "and for you sir?" I said that is for me.… Continue reading...

Sometimes people just need a little reassurance. And that's exactly what I got when I surveyed Noobie's readers and asked them tell me if Noobie was sending too much (or too little) email. Currently, Noobie broadcasts a weekly email every Tuesday morning with links to content added to the Noobie web site the previous week. 79% of you who responded indicated you prefer it to stay this way. 16% of you would rather only receive an email from Noobie every other week and only 5% want to receive email from Noobie on a monthly basis. As a reminder, I did… Continue reading...
