When someone imports their email address book into Facebook to search for friends, they can invite those friends who aren’t already on Facebook to join. However, if one of your friends has multiple email addresses, and already has a Facebook account registered to a different email address than the one you’re ‘inviting’ them with, they get an email asking them to sign up (again) to be your Facebook friend. If they’re already signed in, they get redirected to their facebook homepage. I don’t understand why it wouldn’t just take you to the facebook profile of the person who invited you.

So, I get an invite to Facebook from ‘Tom Mackenzie’ to my personal email address.

My facebook is registered to my work email address. I even try adding my personal email address as an alternative email to my facebook account, but nothing new happens. I don’t have Tom Mackenzie’s email address. The only way I can find his Facebook profile is to do a search on his name. This brings up 3 pages of Tom Mackenzies, many of whom have no photo or their photo is too small to tell who they are. So I don’t know which of these are my friend!

That brings me to Facebook’s other annoying feature – you can’t see people’s full size photos, or personal details unless you are in their network. I don’t see any reason why someone in London’s network would want me to see their profile any less than someone in Brighton & Hove’s network!? Surely if I’m planning on a bit of e-harrassment, it’d be worse if I was local?

What even is the point in blocking regional networks that you’re not a part of? Or even of only letting you join one regional network at a time! I really don’t understand.

So I started up my Cafepress store today. Apart from my illustration which I’d uploaded a while back, I put up the t-shirt slogan: FAG ENABLER. I don’t have a television but I’d heard people had seen a Louis Theroux (sp?) program last week about a family of Americans who think that anyone who is a friend of gay people is a ‘Fag Enabler‘ and is doomed to hell. And this is apparently why there are wars – because God Hates Fag Enablers just as much as he hates Fags, and America, because it doesn’t outlaw homosexuality, is a Fag Enabler.

My first reaction was – “I want a tshirt that says FAG ENABLER on it!”. So yeah, I made one. Stand by for further experiences with Christians and Cafe Press. I wonder if I’ll get hate mail…

Also, if you hadn’t noticed, I’m experimenting doing useful linking to try and get good google ranking!

In the last 4 months I’ve produced these films:

Nom’s Art

Asha’s Sex Work

Hot Frollick Drag Troupe

With another one in the pipeline about international women’s day and flash mobs.

Also nearing completion is my re-development/design of the World Association for Sustainable Development site

And I did this MySpace profile for Handicap International and am supposed to be doing some more soon.

Just posting this so I don’t lose track… I really need to update my website/portfolio, it is in a horrendous state and I am ashamed of it.

The dilemma is that if I’m marketing myself as a web designer, I guess I should spend time making my own website beautiful, even though something like Wordpress could do the job perfectly of showing examples of my work. I dunno. I think I should do a mixture or something. At least until I have enough examples to make my work speak for itself (even through a wordpress blog!).
