Cripes I hate being a tech! But unless you're ender, I guess you gotta do whatever it takes to pay the bills until you get your dream job.

Orange County has really takin a liking to their computer guy and business has really gotten out of control. To help manage things better, I've restructured my business around it's new website. When finished, hopefully in the next few weeks, my business will be completely driven by the customers via the website. Hand-coded completely from scratch using nothing but notepad, I give thee the new www.occomputerguys.com. Check it out. I hope you guys like green.

P.S. Ryland, please don't copy this one.

The site itself is pretty good but 2 things bother me.
The mascot guy.
The blue keyboard picture looks bad with the green/ yellow color scheme.
You might try photoshopping it to be dark green or maybe a slightly orangey yellow ochre kind of color...

the blue bothered me a bit as well, but eraserhead man stays. Good tips spiderchode! Keep em comin.

WOW! People actually pay for this?

Amazing...I mean it's amazing how manu fucking stupid people there are out there!!!!

Heh, I like the "priority service" charge! HAHA!!!!


I;d have to say I am quite envious! Let me tell you, in my 10 fucking worthelss fucking years as a software engineer I learned one fucking thing! Don't fucking work for someone else and make them rich - it's fucking bullshit - you will *ALWAYS* get screwed/exploited.... The only way to make real money is to have your own business where you are in control.

I fucking envy you joe...good work.

Thanks drunxor! In my 8 fucking worthless fucking eyars as a software engineer I learned one fucking thing too! It's good to be a software engineer. I hate being a tech people. I'm doing it for a few reasons, the most important reason NOT being that I like doing it.

Listen people, the time is near. We need to pull our resources together, start a business, and dominate this packed fat full of cash country. I'm thinking some kind of a software biz might be in line for us, but I'll do anything with you fat heads.

Wasn't that called DonQey?

Looks good!

Although, I'm expecting to see a mirror site called "Shibuya-ku Computer Guy(s)" in the next few days with Eraserhead replaced by Doraemon...

Hey, the keyboard's green now.

That pic of the gal and guy gazing into the computer....where have I seen it before.... in another advert somewhere else I believe.....

what exactly are you saying Jman? Are you saying I don't know those two people? Are you saying I didn't photograph the two of them gazing into a computer screen and then photoshop the final result all by myself?

Trademarks are not verbs, Damnit!!!
I think he meant to imply that you may not have used Adobe® Photoshop® software to enhance that image.

The hand is green too...

any way you can overlay the original hand?

If you take the original image and edit only the blue channel, you should be able to make it green without changing the hand.

Looks good beeeph. Man, you are really taking off with this tech business thing huh? Did I metion I have snowboarded every day for the last week?

BTW, I certainly stole the design layout and a couple images from that other site of yours, but you may have noticed I didn't use a line of that messy code .

yeah, that code's way bloated. I was doing a lot of experimenting with styles on that page. I'm just giving you shit. I'm actually honored that you liked my design enough to "microsoft" it from me. Woah, another copyrighted verb.

I hate to nitpick (no, really, I hate it), but that hand looks like a dead person's hand - in any colour. I hope that's just trick photography or something...

Also, a point of style - people should really be 'tech folks who' rather than 'tech folks that' - I spotted that in the text somewhere. It makes them sound more personal and less like objects.

ender, I haven't fucking snowboarded since I broke my fucking toe running down a rice paddy bank at fucking New Year. Like Hitler after Stalingrad, I've gone off snow - can't stand the fucking sight of it.
