Universal Value Exchange

I remember back when I was teaching English in Thailand. One of the special projects I did with my students was to work with a few restaurants in town to translate their menus and give their wait staff special training in English and dealing with western tourists. It was a good experience and a lot of fun.

I think they would have loved to see The Perfect Server. It’s a waitress training video from Vat19. It’s a good overview of what it takes to be a good waiter or waitress, including all of the proper ways to serve food and treat guests. Many of the lessons are shown by comparing the actions of two waiters, the good and the not so good one. In fact, this video would be perfect for restaurants as part of their new server training sessions.

You can find this video and other amazing products, like the giant wine glass, at Vat19. Yes, you have got to see that giant wine glass. It holds an entire bottle of wine!

I was just looking through a webmaster forum and there is a discussion on cloning wordpress blogs. The idea is to come up with a way to set up multiple wordpress blogs quickly and easily without a lot of fuss or hassle.

See, when setting up a wordpress blog, there are many things that need to be done other than the basic installation. I know I spend at least 30 minutes to an hour getting all of the setting right. A cloning script would make it much faster and almost automate it.

Well, I set out to write one and I have. It needs to be prettied up, but before I do that, I want to get some feedback on it and get some ideas of what you would like in a cloner.
