Hi Rozie, ah you did a better summary than mine, you must had taken notes or have a very good memory, either one. Lister was good to break up the other speeches I thought but it was bit of a joke for the amount of money people paid… the last 20 minutes was a bit more interesting. I still will go next year

Hi, I enjoyed reading your review of Semi Permanent 2008. You were certainly more positive about Anthony Lister than I was. Check out my review:

Andrew,
Well don’t miss out on next year!

Caleb,
Hehe it was pretty entertaining but not really a vacation I got my highspeed back up now, I had to upgrade my plan though. AUstralian internet is so bad.

Rafie,
It was my first one but not my last that’s for sure.

Kelly,
I had also heard it before however they talked about it for about 2 minutes with power point slides to go with it so it was given a new light.

David,
Yes it is a simple way to explain it and I know that I will no doubt have to explain it in the short future. Yeah Alex Trochut was really amazing. Every piece of his work was spot on perfect.

I got the net speed back up now Had to upgrade.

Zinni,
Yeah that is a great rule but sometimes it can be broken when the work is low.

Yeah Aussie internet sucks so bad – it is among the world’s worst and most expensive. However we have the third highest ranking for people with internet per capita yet we rank as the second lowest for quality of internet vs price.

Zinni has the right idea. One thing about the Cheap/Good/Fast is that I would be careful how many of the cheap/fast you do – if at all! – because it could adversely effect your branding.

A. Lister sounds hysterical and a good choice to break up the monotony of the ‘professional’ speakers. Glad you got a good laugh, Jacob

Jacob, It sounds like the event was pretty good. I have been a proponent of the Cheap/Good/Fast mentality, however I have added a new rule to my version. In an effort to increase the quality of my work, I have began turning down more and more jobs that want the cheap/fast combo. I will take some if the client has also given me some good projects as well, but otherwise I try to stay away. It sounds like Aussie Internet is pretty sucky. I am glad that I do not have to deal with any sort of limits like that... Zinni's last blog post..10 Amazing Website Designs, The Freshest Yet

Hi Jacob,

Thanks for the review. Like Kelly, I’ve also heard the cheap / good / fast philosophy. It’s definitely a simple way to explain pricing structure.

I checked out a few of the speaker websites, and must say, Alex Trochut has a fantastic range of designs in his portfolio, some of which are awesome.

Shame about the 56k internet.

Jacob,

Neat review. The good/cheap/fast I have heard before, in fact there’s a web designer here in Delaware, U.S. who actually has them as radio buttons on his contact page for potential clients (pick two). It’s really direct and kind of takes people aback, but he pulls no punches. I wear much softer gloves when I explain that to clients. It’s important to know you can’t have all three!

As always, great links, too. When I read here I always learn something new.

Regards,

Kelly

Sounds like a good one this year. I had a few mates down at the Sydney Event. I was planning to go the the Brisbane one next week but I never got my act together and student tickets are sold out now…oh well.
