Eating my own dog-food

Hello, my name is Ricardo Pirroni and I own and run MyConcept Limited.
- And yes this is a very strange title for my first post, but everything will become clear.

I used to have a very ordinary static website with some nice pictures on, which could only be changed by yours truly. Obviously this meant that because I was so busy doing other things I never, ever changed it.

Now this is the kind of thing that I go on and on to clients that they just shouldn’t do.

“Have a blog“, I say. “Write a post a day“, I say. “Your site should be alive“, I say.

Of course, as is usually the case, I am guilty of not practicing what I preach.

There is a phrase that is used in software development circles, it is, “eating one’s own dog food” sometimes shortened down to “dogfooding“. It is when a company uses the products that it makes. It demonstrates confidence in its own products, and hence a kind of testimonial advertising.

So if I am not posting to my blog and keeping my site alive then how I can expect anybody else to do the same…?

Therefore, here it is. The new MyConcept site
– Yes it is a little bare right now and there are lots of things I need to fix up. But if I don’t do it, it wont get done!

It will slowly fill up show the range of work that gets done. Eventually there will be lots to see and lots to read.
And if I don’t do it, if I don’t update, If I don’t make it live. Then you have my permission to send me pictures of dogs to remind me or tins of dog food.
Just remember that by the time I receive them I may have already eaten!
