keyword: markku

Published in the wee hours of July 31, 2003

I just had a look at my counter stats and saw some incoming links from yahoo and google result pages, using the query “markku.” I clicked on it and to my surprise, peyups.com/markku ranks third for both result pages! Woohoo! Now I should really get some useful content going on here.

Peyups Rock Enroll

Published in the late evening of July 2, 2003

Some of my photos from the concert last Friday, presented by peyups.com. Had a great time shooting just in front of the bands.
Got myself a copy of Bridge’s CD, featuring the very addictive song Kahit Na, and also bought Cambio’s Excerpt E.P. directly from Buddy Zabala. Also met Marcus Adoro, who was supposed to ride with us papuntang Philcoa. But didn’t know I was talking to one of the eraserheads until Jaemark told me, but by then they were gone. Two eraserheads, two good CDs, great photo–shoot; not a bad day at all.

INQ7.net

Published in the early afternoon of July 1, 2003

A redesign should solve whatever problems that existed in the first place. Not that there was much, the old INQ7.net site had too much information available that it proved to be a difficult case for visual organization. But their new design seems to overlook some very basic usability patterns that world wide web users have gotten used to. First, links usually are underlined, or at least displayed in a different color and/or presentation. Their site currently has both links and text in black, making it hard to distinguish one from the other. Another possible problem is the use and placement of ad buttons and banners, which plague most of the frontpage. Simpler ads could give the same desired effect without distracting the users from the site’s content.
