*no…fa real*

I think I’m still on page 1 of Google for “Courtney”.

I had a minute of slippage when I took on a new strategy, but I think I figured out what the issue was.

And now that that’s fixed…

Bring on the good SEO changes!

Google Me!

Courtney Elizabeth Formspring me Ask Courtney Question 300x147 Formspring.me: What Possessed You to Sign Up?Formspring Question:

what possessed you to sign up for this thing?!

Answer:

As a Social Media Consultant, I think it’s my job to find out about the latest and greatest social media apps, websites, and API links. But I actually put my link out there because I was curious to know what people would ask.

After deleting a few questions…
I don’t think I’m curious anymore. lol.

With Formspring.me, you can send and receive anonymous questions, and learn more about people you find interesting by following their answers. Not only that, but you can connect to both Facebook and Twitter APIs to share your responses to the questions that were asked! This not only notifies the person that you responded, but also lets others know that you’re:

  1. Answering anonymously submitted questions
  2. Alerts those that may have had the same question to the answer of that question…
  3. Incites others to ask more questions

Definitely a great tool to have in your Social Media toolbox.

I am NOT my PC. I’m nicer.

Windows 7 Ultimate - Reinstall
by Courtney Elizabeth · February 4, 2010 · Girl Geek ·

I am NOT my PC. I’m nicer…because my PC was on that BULLSkee this week.

On Tuesday, it decided to FAIL when I uninstalled iTunes.

I had to uninstall iTunes because it was not sending my Nike+ iPod information to NikePlus.com.

#FAIL

Anyways, Wednesday rolled around and then my laptop decided to not boot up AT ALL. *eye roll*

So I spent a good majority of Wednesday trying to re-load Windows 7.

However, this time, I installed Windows 7 Ultimate. And THIS time, I actually hacked it to disable the Activation Check.
Luckily, I was able to backup all of my files while it was doing what it was doing, and I spent a few hours deleting the stuff in windows.old/ directory because not all of it had the Courtney Elizabeth permissions. *Damn you, TrustedInstaller*…

But … all seems to be better…

Now…lemme go find some wood to knock on.

Blackberry Storm 2 … FTW!

Verizon released it yesterday. And mine arrived today..FedEx Overnight… w00t w00t!

I think I stared at it for a good 30 minutes…
I didnt want to take it out of the box…

*hangs head*

But I finally got over the plastic shock…and opened it and powered it up…

It’s great so far…

I’m in the process of moving all of my apps over…

And settings…

I will say that I think I still like the latest Storm1 OS…5.0.0.328…

Everything else in my world has been on the up and up…I can’t really complain too much.

I DO miss my blog though…a lot. Its just easier to post to mobile blog at girldriven.com than it is to login and post on the main one at courtneyelizabeth.com.

But I recently installed an update to the WordPress for Blackberry Application, so I think this will make it much easier.

Alright…lemme get back to my NCIS Marathon here…

…because I was soo excited!

When I got to the office this morning…
There was a box waiting for me with a Georgia address, and I just KNEW it had to be my box from Jazz..
She told me it was coming…
And I’ve been patiently waiting…and it’s here!

I’ve been asking for one of these for over two years. lol! And she remembered little ol’ me!

And it’s cute! ♥

I waited until I got home to open it because I wanted to be able to relax and unwind and…be…non-stressed.

Delayed.Gratification.Crucial.

Thanks, Jazz!!

Check her out ya’ll! She does great artwork!

Multiple Instances of Internet Explorer

ie

My hatred for Internet Explorer runs deep.

But my need for sanity runs deeper.

I installed Multiple IE on the Office Network today.

Of course I had to upgrade to Internet Explorer 7 first. Not fun in my opinion, but a necessary evil.

Anything involving Internet Explorer is a headache.

But I did what I had to do.

I get tired of rendering and validating in Firefox sometimes.

So it was just easier to just install the crap.

If you’re like me…you might want to go ahead and do the same.

Just make sure that you read the “Important Notes” first before you start throwing yourself out of buildings and what not.

Ciao!


Meet $data

Dear Readers…

Meet $data (affectionately named by punchdouble).

She’s small..she’s pink…and she’s been enhancing my life…for less than 24 hours. Her cover flip excites me.

My blog posts have become more and more sparatic lately.
I apologize.

You’ll find me somewhere in between office and home on any given day – minus saturday and sunday. And even on those days, I’m usually at home doing some work. I’ve managed to go out a few times in the past two weeks, but one would hardly call it a social life.

My end of the rainbow surfaces next Friday, when we head to the Bahamas for 7 whole days of relaxation and no-work. Oh Bahamas…how I miss you so…

  • Jesus be a gorilla shaped coconut filled with rum and pineapple juice.

Until later…Love, Court


Brain Overload. IE6 must die.

ie6
by Courtney Elizabeth · October 15, 2008 · Girl Geek ·

The work ethic has been non-stop, with lulls long enough to shower and eat, and end the day with a round of House Hunters on HGTV.

It could almost be considered sad.
But I’m on a mission.

With the Bahamas trip coming up the first week of November, the goal is to make sure that all projects are closed, or on track for completion the following week… and that all invoices have been paid.

I’m sooo ready for a vaca.

Yesterday, I spent a few hours dealing with design / browser compatibility for IE6. I wanted to scream.

IE6 must die.

It needs to die. WHY even bother using it now that IE 7 is out? Is it that your network administrator is too lazy to do the network wide upgrade? Is it that you refuse to step out of your shell and try IE7? The only reason I mention IE 7 is because I know how difficult it will be for you to grasp Firefox. Internet Explorer shouldn’t even really be an option, but alas…since Microsoft monopolized the market and 9 times out of 10, you’ll have some version of Internet Explorer already installed on your factory computer, I know that for you… it’s easier to deal than to upgrade. My brain hurts.

Alright, let me get back to work…
Still praying for Mojo…
