Some times you get a request that’s just so plain impudent, that you can’t even say no… Consider this - guy asks for 2GB of space, 15 GB of traffic for free hosting. Fine, I don’t mind that, no problem. But the concept there is to get money from the ads to move to normal paid hosting. So not only he doesn’t consider my hosting to be “normal”, he’s telling me that once he’s done eating off my plate, he’s gonna go spend those money some place else. So he gets hosting, money from ads, people to his web site and I get - nothing?

Something’s not kosher here.

• Updates by the pound. (September 26, 2005): What I like my clients for is not only the money they tend to forget to pay, but for all the fun I tend to have meeting their requests. By all means - I'm happy to provide the services and whatnot. What amazes me is how fast the ideas and demands are changing :)

Feel sorry for clients though.

Now the second part of the game - contacting 2Checkout for refund and cancellation, since the hoster (myonehome.com/worldseller.com) doesn’t respond.

• What to do when your contractors fail to deliver? (October 26, 2004): Run away? Buy a ticket to their home town and play the Punisher? Beg the client for forgiveness?
