Circles....he's got me going round in circles...again.

SC: So, I need one of your designs, and have a question

Seraph: Shoot!

SC: Does your design come with a script

Seraph: I'm sorry, no...it states that on my site

SC: Yeah, I saw that, figured I'd ask. So are you saying I need to buy <script>, and that's an additional cost?

Seraph: Well, its not really an additional cost, per say....its *required* in the first place to run one of these sites. So....my designs would actually be the additional cost. Not the script.

SC: So you're saying, it's an additional cost.

Seraph: My designs are, yes?

SC: So you don't include a script, and its additional to integrate the script onto your design?

Seraph: See, that's a bit backwards...you're actually putting my design onto the script.

SC: So its an additional cost?

Seraph: ...can you please clarify?

SC: The script is an additional cost.

Seraph: Its a BASE COST. You absolutely cannot run a website without it. My designs would be an additional cost.

SC: You're telling me the script's an additional cost then.

Seraph: No, its required

SC: So its additional.

Seraph: ....yes. yes it is.

SC: Thanks much then!

...yeah, I gave up.

If I understand this correctly, the guy was basically doing the equivalent of if I were to ask an architect if the land I was going to build his building design on came at an extra cost?

[Seraph]

Pretty much. Which just kind of broke my head.

Seraph, this post makes me feel the way your avatar looks.

I was thinking the same thing.... that it really fits what lot of her clients (or client wannabes) put her through

This calls for an appropriate song.

Jay, I am disappoint.

Jay, I am disappoint.

Don't be. Shocking as it might be, I don't find that particular series that funny.

Besides, if you're gonna make a reference, go old school.

[Seraph]

Homestar Runner IS old school! D:

My reference was more old school than yours.

[Draper Mel]

This is more old school than Homestar, but less old school than Jay's.

Damnit I was just about to link that one! All of my hate, Draper. Aimed right at you, buddy.

The problem is that to an awful lot of people, the UI (user interface) IS the program - or the website.

All they want is the swan swimming gracefully over the water, not the furious paddling. But they DO want the swan to move! :wry:

This is more old school than Homestar, but less old school than Jay's.

Mine is so old school that it's actually on a Betamax tape, and therefore cannot be linked to.

Oh, now that's just a big fat lie.

Everyone knows Betamax is just a myth.
