Choo-choo-choose Me

I must have been sick when this email arrived. Since ShaunInman.com is a finalist in the juried 2005 SXSW Web Awards that means it’s also in the running for this year’s People’s Choice Award. Fortunately you can vote once a day so there’s still a few days left to make it up to me if you were voting for one of those other sites all along.

Ah yes, the spirits are much improved now that I can keep them in my belly—where they belong.

A new version of ShortStat would really help people vote I would think :)

Hehe, don’t push your luck. There’s been some snags on the higher volume sites that have been beta testing it…I’m now on my third time rewriting it. I think I’ve found a middle ground that will work for most interested parties. But since it’s a new rewrite that means more beta testing.

I’ve been thinking of changing the name too, LongStat or possibly ShortHorn. What do you guys think?

Definitely ShortHorn. And you got at least 1 vote in the People’s Choice Award.

Nice title.

Bring back the classic one-liners from the Simpsons.

It would have been you, but then I say Evil 9 and had to go with them. Sorry :-)

definitely you’ll be having a lot of votes. btw, I think shortstat should have something unique and funky name to swap with, because some are addicts in viewing their site stats. ;)

Although Im not a voter in such things as this, I did vote for you. Good luck with it.

Although this design is very simplistic… its the fonts that do it for me.

I Don’t Mean to Be Rude, but…this site loads too slow, the conversation borders on gibberish, the font is condescendingly bleak. Your latest post CHOO-CHOO-CHOOSE ME is pathetic at best. The flow of content is erratic. The information is rather useless. Why would I come back again? What for? The award was obviously given to you because it is 100% original code (I hope) and is very nice. But Celine Dion and Barbara Streisand also have good solid structure and form, but their music still sucks. Hope this helps you.

Sincerely, Simon Cowell
