"Must haves" for the webmaster, what are yours? - GoFuckYourself.com

CDSmith · 07-25-2005, 12:12 PM

For me it's pretty basic... other than the standard gear and programs my list is short really...

Headset --- anyone who has ever ICQ'd me about something more in-depth will know I immediately move the communication to the phone. My headset is one of my most cherished tools.

*subnote: more cell phone users who drive should be looking into getting a headset, so they can drive properly with both hands on the wheel.

Coffee --- greatest tool of the webmaster, period.

Kitchen ghetto blaster --- I have it tuned to the classic rock station constantly.

What are your must haves?

Jakke PNG · 07-25-2005, 12:16 PM

Big-ass coffeemug for me.

standard set of programs, like photoshop and macromedia products etc..
ICQ..as I *HATE* talking to people. Mostly because I'm not confident with my spoken english, I have a really thick accent and I'm afraid the dude on the other end doesn't understand what I say. I write pretty well though.

Headphones + winamp + excellent music to keep me going 20+ hours straight.

Fetish Gimp · 07-25-2005, 12:16 PM

Weed and Coca-Cola.

Manowar · 07-25-2005, 12:17 PM

I agree to coffe ! A MUST HAVE for every webmaster

dennisthemenace · 07-25-2005, 12:28 PM

My computer and music. Everything else can be sorted out after that.

jayeff · 07-25-2005, 12:30 PM

My "office" and PC are very basic, but a Bunn coffee machine (makes a pot in about 90 seconds), a Sony 400-disc CD player, water cooler and TV+DVR all help the days along...

CDSmith · 07-25-2005, 12:54 PM

I'm noticing none of us said clean underwear :D

who needs underwear when you can sit naked behind your computer?

Which brings me to the must have I failed to mention earlier...

I always put a clean slip-cover on my computer chair seat. :D

Well... once a week anyway.

acuk · 07-25-2005, 01:03 PM

BRAIN
...COCA-COLA?

Tala · 07-25-2005, 02:33 PM

- computer (preferably operational and with enough ram and processor power to run more than one propgram at a time)

- coffee. Lots of it.

- headphones. I don't want to listen to someone else's conversation, music, or other obnoxious noise while I'm working. thus the headphones are clamped securely to my head with a continuous play of classic and progressive rock.

- more coffee. With sugar and cream.

- sense of humor. Seriously.

- intelligence or at least a reasonable facsimile thereof.

- cat. An occasional five or ten minutes of dislodging the cat from a closet, cupboard, door (those of you with screen doors and cats understand), or desk drawer is theraputic.

- coffee.

- telephone. Cell phones work too. Whatever happens to be handy. Make sure you give prospective clients, partners, sponsors, affiliates, and the tooth fairy the CORRECT number.

- motivation. If you have to ask, you're not ready for this line of work. Part of my motivation is not having to go flip burgers.

- patience. Things don't always happen on your schedule. Besides, that Murphy fucker and his goddamn Law will follow you around like a shadow in summertime.

- thick skin. Rejection happens. So do insults, accusations, and outright lies. Be prepared.

- coffee........

- BUSINESS PLAN

- kind heart. "Do unto others" may be Biblical, but it's still a good plan, especially in business. Remember: you catch more flies with honey than vinegar.

- SENSE OF HUMOR

- and above all else: prozac. By the truckload.

CDSmith · 07-25-2005, 05:10 PM

And Tala, don't forget coffee. :D

Easton · 07-25-2005, 05:11 PM
