Creeva’s World 2.0

This seems to have turned into a play of three parts with no res­o­lu­tion of fur­ther feed­back from the Ash­land County Humane Soci­ety.  I would link to their web site, but it seems they did not take me up on my sug­ges­tion on reg­is­ter­ing a new domain name after their pre­vi­ous one expired and was taken over by a domain squatter.

It seems they have noth­ing more to say to me and I think this story is going to end on this post.  From the best I can tell they waited a week before read­ing my response that I sent them the link to (Web­server logs check­ing who came from Yahoo Mail if you curi­ous how I knew).  I know some peo­ple don’t think I should be point­ing out these flaws or com­plaints.  One friend even told me this via e-mail:

Humane soci­ety?

Don’t get into an argu­ment with animal-lovers.  They’re as dense as lead. 

Well I don’t think the Ash­land Humane Soci­ety or any other orga­ni­za­tion is “as dense as lead” though I think there are things they can do to help future proof them­selves now and increase cus­tomer ser­vice for the future.  I under­stand that I’m the only com­plaint, but the ball always starts rolling for the first per­son.   I sent them a mes­sage on how to do things cheaply and that they would save time.

My main com­plaint of their part­ner­ship with Ras­cal Unit still has the same word­ing that started this whole ordeal:

Con­tact the Ash­land Humane Soci­ety at 419 2814722 or e-mail ashlandhumane@yahoo.com to make an appoint­ment for this clinic date in this area.

The only thing I  have asked is to change the word­ing t:

Con­tact the Ash­land Humane Soci­ety at 419 2814722 to make an appoint­ment for this clinic date in this area or e-mail ashlandhumane@yahoo.com for more information.

This is a minor change and will help alle­vi­ate con­fus­ing for the tech­ni­cally lit­er­ate to under­stand the mean­ings of the seem­ingly technically-illiterate.   Try­ing to nar­row the tech­nol­ogy divide in the world always starts at the low­est level, whether it be pro­grams like the “One Lap­top Per Child” or local com­mu­nity orga­ni­za­tions.  Please say what you mean and attend to it.

I’ll keep my read­ers apprised of the sit­u­a­tion but like I said I think this is the end of it.   Too bad I can’t effect change in those who obvi­ously pre­fer to keep their head in the sand while the world changes around them.
