Getting things done with technology

Categories

Interesting!

Well no, not this site, but the things that are possible!

I enjoy leveraging cool technologies so that businesses can reach their full potential -- assisted and empowered by data, not encumbered by it.

I recently purchased the Full Subscription to www.iconshock.com

Here are some of my thoughts, a quick review:

Pros

  • Large Collection
  • Good Quality

Cons

  • Incredibly innefficient delivery
  • Organization is a mess
  • No consistency in the file names.
  • Spelling mistakes (search for "schedule" and you've just missed that icon named "shedule")

Summary

Basically, while the graphics themselves are fine, you will find them it incredibly difficult to actually use them. I've spent hours upon hours writing scripts and organizing all the files in a desperate attempt to have something I can actually search and use. And even after all the time spent doing that, I'm almost guaranteed to be missing stuff as it's incredibly difficult to automate anything with the million different naming standards they used!
