Being Helpful is Cool

I got this e-mail yesterday:
Hi there,
I met you at/shared a cab with you after FOWA in Miami. It was interesting talking with you; I didn’t see you at the party afterwards -most probably because I didn’t stick-around for long, which is a shame.
I hope you had a good time at SxSW. I intend to go one year, itsounds fantastic and seems like a good excuse to visit TX. How’s things in The Big Easy?
Kind regards,
Chris HartP.s. I’ve made you a ‘favicon’ for Voodoo Ventures that would appear in the address bar/browsertab/favorites menu.
If you choose to use it, just chuck the .ico file in your root directory (Mozilla browsers find it automatically there) and add the following to thehead of your pages:
<link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”/favicon.ico” type=”image/x-icon” />
Out of all the emails I’ve had flying around since my three conference swing this month, this one just blew me away. Chris Hart, a web developer in the UK who I met in shared a cab with at FOWA in Miami, took the time to check out Voodooventures.com, noticed we didn’t have a “favicon” in the browser window, and created one for us. I don’t know if this took him five minutes or an hour, but the thoughtfulness really strikes a chord with me.
Here’s a guy that I’ll keep in touch with. I’ll file this away in my memory, in addition to using what he created for me. And hopefully will be able to cross paths again and potentially do business together at some point.
Being helpful is cool. Thanks Chris.
PS: Anybody looking for a web developer in the UK would do well by contacting him. chris (at) everyone (dot) eu
