The One Where Steve Goes All Matt Cutts Print
Tuesday, 22 April 2008

Those of you who hate having their picture taken (90% of you? 95%?) will know how I felt. Several people have been asking for photos of me ready for upcoming events. I tried to put if off for as long as possible but today I needed to get it done.


I'll be at the upcoming Joomla events in Chicago and Vancouver, so if you want to say hello, you know what I look like.


As the camera was out, I thought it might be a good idea to introduce to my blogging partner, Ninja. This little guy is rarely far away from the keyboard when I'm working. Especially now spring is here, he loves to come and sun himself in the window overlooking my desk.


This post is somewhat in homage to the cats belonging to Matt Cutts from Google. Someone even took the time to track down a whole range of SEO pets.


Why do we call him Ninja? Because he's black with just a little white on his face. Oh, and he likes to kill things.


My wife fell in love with him while we were living in Sydney a few years ago and convinced me to bring him the U.S. when we moved here.

Nice to learn a bit more about your partner in crime Steve!!

Seems like you have a nice green view from your window - lucky you!

And I see that you're a mac user?

Hehe, and for all those who were expecting to find the pics of Steve, you'll need to pop over to the site he mentioned: http://vancouver.joomla.ca/ima.../steve.jpg

Aye - its the best time of year here. Spring has just reached North Georgia and it really is the best few weeks of the year. The view from my desk and out the window is wonderful - maybe thats why the cat is hanging out so regularly (or maybe hes just eyeing up the birds flying past).

Well it certainly looks very green where you are! The view from my office isn't as nice, but one thing is cool: I can just about see the Alps! Spring is a wonderful time of year - been enjoying the blossoming trees and leaves coming out etc. Keep up the good work Steve and make sure Ninja doesn't fall out the window eyeing up those birds! smilies/wink.gif

Ooooh ... Steve is cat people too! smilies/smiley.gif

I consider myself lucky to have five additional sources of inspiration. One of them is Billie, the mysterious Russian Blue, and she insisted that I relay her kindest regards to Ninja. Such a good-looking guy. smilies/wink.gif
