Jygyllyk and Vestniktm

Well Jygyllyk

• uses Classipress theme of WordPress
• is in Turkmen

vestniktm:

• uses Joker software
• is Russian/English

Overall, both are good things. It will take about 1-3 years for them to settle and get popular. But if some big company decides to pump serious money in electronic advertisement here, then they probably will have no chances.

THe laws of e-business were passed about a month ago in Ministry of Telecommunications. I guess it’s now legally possible to have such business. But some money is needed. I dunno, the sum could change depending on prices for licence, and usage of partisan, viral marketing or mass-media marketing.

Personally I think that maybe my attempts to write the code were wrong. Probably when you have a full-time job and 2 kids it’s difficult to create a fully functional PHP system. So, their approach to just install a system is a smart choice.

Org. Behaviour method by Alex Sosnovyj

Alex Sosnovyj worked for a long time on various consulting projects; and one day decided to develop an almost universal method for organization behaviour and salary compensation; and make it Shareware.

It’s a very detailed and a very objective method, implemented in various small and big companies. The objective is to turn a sleeping, lazy, non-motivated employee into an active, fresh and hardworking person (or make him leave the company in the worst case). Work, earn, spend 😀

I’m sure that only in Russia (and only from someone born in Turkmenistan, as Alex Sosnovyj) such a secret method could be made shareware. It’s astonishing.

When I chose WordPress in 2007 I didn’t know it will make a revolution!

I just read a few reviews in 2007, people said it was important to choose a right platform – because of the learning curve, the time and effort you spend on learning 😀

Then I tried installing WordPress, I guess version 2.something at the time… It was one, two, three and ready. Easy Administration, easier programming, plugins and themes. But now, now it has become something more. Check this Comfy theme, and this Classipress theme. This is only beginning; with thousands of free plugins, themes, advices, hacks and cool Codex… WordPress will make it Web 3.0 soon.

Imagine the Web (almost) without custom scripts. When anything can be integrated using a few plugins or themes. Yes, paid scripts are getting obsolete, more and more.

Patience and money

Fortunately money comes to the patient and hardworking people. Unfortunately I have none of abovementioned virtues. God help me 😀 It’s the obsession for years with own niche, market and skill that makes these people (more or less) ok financially.

My scattered brain wants to jump from project to project, solving only interesting problems. I can hardly concentrate. But the word “job” means repetiton and work/patient work. Life is not easy 🙂

Who took my old website

My old website nahili dot com, was taken by someone for some dating spam. It’s absolutely irrelevant to me.

I had to get rid of old website because I didn’t have money at the time. That’s all.

Jana – Turkmen mayonnaise

Following the successful Rana mayonnaise from Iran, the brave and creative Turkmen entrepreneurs have launched the production of a tender local version (or subversion) – Jana. Which looks almost the same as Rana except the “J” letter.

But the most important thing is – housewives love Jana more than Rana. It’s not just because of the name Jana (which means “tender” or “dear”), it’s because of 3 important criteria;

• Quality
• Taste
• Price

Quality and taste are better even than Russian counterparts, and the price is lower than Iranian competitor’s. Bingo. Super-success story.

By many means I’ve been conquered before, but never through the salad and the mayonnaise within. As my days grow older and my sight gets dim, I just wish my businesskinsmen a fresh drop of creativition…
