OUR MUSINGS
How important is website speed really?
“I want it all, I want it all and I want it now” Remember the song by Queen? Yeah, we live in an instant society. We want everything now.Fewer and fewer people read texts longer than a few lines – or rather, fewer and fewer people are able to read, let alone understand, so much.The viewing rate of videos longer than 2-3 minutes is falling sharply. Instant coffee, instant noodles, instant fame, instant love. We
Pizza Said: There’d Be War
America has it all. And even more. There’s even a Pentagon Pizza Report – google it if you don’t believe me.It is compiled by people who monitor the traffic of pizza places around the Pentagon and the White House and post the findings on X (formerly Twitter). Even now, when the Israeli-Iranian conflict broke out, they knew something big was in the air because pizza orders to the Pentagon and the White House suddenly went

It’s a nice, big, black tomcat who lives in one of the neighbour’s houses.He keeps patrolling around from there and regularly searches our yard.

Why the ideal customer is not ideal

At this point, our somewhat-known competitor flippantly remarked that such
My car has chickenpox
The other day, I stopped at the car-wash by the petrol station. It was a in the spur of the moment thought. There was no queue, so I figured I’d get it done quickly.While I was there, I asked for the wax treatment, too – we only die once. The machine did finish quickly, I went home with great pride. A little later I went out to the balcony and looked down at the car
The tiler and the website builder
We once bought an apartment in a Palazzo style building from the early 1900s. It was not in a habitable condition and had to be completely renovated. I jumped at the task with great enthusiasm and started looking for craftsmen for the jobs I didn’t want to or couldn’t do myself.We are entrepreneurial people, we are happy to do what we can ourselves. Of course, at every stage of the project we assessed whether doing
