Yeah man! Sad but happy at the same time. Wonderful and frightful. Isn’t life grand?!

Good luck!

All three links check out fine for me. Is there one not working for you?

Comment on Pathetic to absurd to disheartening in 97 queries. by Matthew Marco

I sent this memo and originally posted this in September 2007. The memo advanced a business case for a new search engine at the House – originally budgeted for a Google Mini but implemented as a Google Custom Search at the beginning of 2009. There are major issues throughout the House’s web program (the least of which at this point is the lack of a cohesive web program) – it is among the reasons I resigned from the House in May 2009. The search engine was misconfigured, mismanaged, and out-of-date. Developing a search engine program, content strategy, and a publishing environment was not a small project; however, it was also not a broadly supported project and a source of intense frustration.

While the issues here are hardly unique to this branch of the American government, they can be addressed. While this particular memo was brash, site search analytics yielded positive results.

Thanks for the compliments. (I’ve cut back on swearing but still deploy the occasional curse word for effect.)

1. This was a mostly personal/occasionally professional blog I maintained for a few years. This mix-CD-to-be was one post I wanted to get out to my friends; the House.gov search engine memo was linked from a few other places so I wanted to make sure that didn’t 404. The database was corrupted last week just as I left town, and I have yet to restore its contents from a lucky scrape of Google Reader and Facebook Notes.

2. “Not yet dead” – reference to the only certainties being birth (1982), taxes (1994 – yes, I started working when I was 12), and death (not yet).

I like the way you write a lot (just omit ‘shit’, please).
Great links.
What’s all about “My blog died. I’m out of town. Things are a mess. Sorry.” and “Not yet dead”?
