Biting The Bullet: 5 Reasons Why Arguing With Unruly Clients Will Get You Nowhere

I came across this list on Digg this morning; it's from a blog called Freelance Folder, which looks like a fantastic resource for those "independent" types who can't handle real jobs ;-) Despite the fact that I am not a freelancer, I do work in a sales office and deal with my share of pissed off customers, and I can tell you these are all very good suggestions.

The 5 reasons from the website:

Time Away From Your Other Clients

Breaks Up Your Concentration And Creativity

Anger Spills Into Your Family Life

It Won't Make You Any More Money

The Client Gets A Kick Out Of Making You Mad

Poor Dick Gaywood: Kicked Off Xbox Live Because His Real Name is Offensive

Richard Gaywood (his real name) has been kicked off Xbox Live because they have deemed his gamertag "RichardGaywood" to be offensive. While I find this to be hilarious, others have expressed concern over Microsoft's arbitrary decisions on what is or is not offensive. The response from Xbox Live is below:

Kotaku.com - "We want the Xbox LIVE community to have the freedom to express themselves, but we also have a responsibility to create an inclusive, safe environment," said Microsoft's Stephen Toulouse. "While it may be clear to some that Gaywood is a legitimate surname, it may not be obvious to other Xbox LIVE members. In this case, a complaint was filed by a member of the community, requiring the Xbox LIVE team to examine the gamertag within the context of the Xbox LIVE Terms of Use. Based on the these guidelines, it was necessary for the gamertag to change."

What do you (non-existent) readers think? Is Microsoft in the right or the wrong here?

First Ever Post

Hey Everyone (and by that I mean probably no one . . . because I just started this blog, and who really reads other peoples blogs anyways? Everyone is just concerned about them and their blog that no one reads, am I right?),

So this is my first ever post and I guess I should spend some time talking about what my blog is going to be about. I plan on using this space to publish any comments, ideas, opinions or links to or about anything that I think is cool or interesting in any way. It's not going to be a specific blog like many people write, you know, about their careers, or parenting, or their favorite band or their swinging, sexual, key-party lifestyle. Blog O'Blackmore is going to cover all of that and much more (or it might just be something I update a lot at first, then forget about, I don't know yet.)

Blog O'Blackmore (is the name really stupid and corny? Yes. Is it the first dumb thing I came up with that I'm now stuck with? Also, yes.) is mostly going to be where I comment on any and all of the wide gamut of crazy shit I come across on the big wide interweb. I'm hoping to sharpen my writing skills, meet some people that have the same interests and attitudes as me and maybe even learn a little about myself along the way.

Psych! I am me! I with me all the time, I know everything about me and there isn't anything else I can learn.

Now that I have totally lamed up my first blog post with pathetic attempts at humour, I am going to sign off before I can do any more damage.

Talk to you next time, loyal fans.
