Hasta La Creative!

The mac banner in action – if you missed it – has been added to AlphaSquirrel’s post “Mac Banners Are Front Page Material” – in a Quicktime video format because I’m flash paranoid today. 😉 I’m kidding. Speaking of adgrunt AlphaSquirrel – he’s on the Hall of Fame list with that post. Other hall of fame data includes most active contributors. Claymore is still kicking my ass in the “for all time” category but I’m gaining on him.

As previously noted, we moved to a new server on Friday, which wasn’t really a good day for moving at all since that was the same day that we finally could show the Gevalia Scuba Diver commercial, but as it turns out the Swedes still found the site and the Swedes were generally disappointed as hell so no great loss there.

Speaking of disappointed – y’all know that this is not my day job right? OK, just to make it clear once more I’m an Art Director in advertising, and I do this on my free time so when gung-ho creatives jump the gun and send me work that is not approved yet – you are wasting my precious time and pissing everyone (including your own boss) off. So could we please stop doing that? Thanks, that would be super-swell. I only brought this up because we’ve removed two TBWA campaigns (number one, number two) and one BBH London campaign at the request of said agencies PR Directors just last week – and right now the authenticity of the Reed’s beer campaign is seriously doubted after being contacted by sabmiller.

As for the DNS Propogation, it’s still going on and very slow indeed – but our new server is a dream of space and bandwidth – and green at Memset.com – UK’s first CarbonNeutral ISP!
