Daft abbreviations (or the DA1.a post) 09/12/2004 One of the things that annoys me about the design community to a small extent and the computer fraternity to a larger extent is stupid abbreviations. Jargon's bad enough but when meaning's are hidden behind combinations like "REh9" then only the select (or should I say |337?) can know what it means. It's deliberately exclusive and it winds me up. The web design community has sporadic out-breaks of this syndrome but by far the worst are the *Nix geeks. They can't give anything a sensible name. Go and try Linux and the applications have names like "jgh765Jh." For crying out loud! I'm looking for an application to perform a specific task and I have to pick from application names that look like they've been encrypted? Where's the sense in that? Just use normal names, please.Another thing that has long annoyed me is people talking loudly on mobile phones whilst you ride home on the train and at last there's an answer. Mad

Way Mad, you attest to my conviction that not since Bell has empathy ever played a role in the furtherance of his device. Then again, I suspect Bell himself might have been a madman, secretly intent on destroying the human race. And hey, I’m right here with you, going, “Fuck that shit!” Date Added: 09/12/2004
josh Yeah. The *nix thing has been around for awhile now. A for instance:Command: ping, ping6Name: Packet Internetwork GroupFunction: send ICMP ECHO_REQUEST to network hosts Ping? Packet internetwork groper? Am I the only one who cries on the inside when I think of some geek in some basement reverse-engineering the perfectly acceptable name "ping" into packet internetwork groper?I sure hope not.

IT'S PACKET INTERNETWORK GROUP OK? WHAT? NO, I SAID GROUP NOT GROPER. NO, WAIT DON'T HANG UP, IT'S NOT GRO... Date Added: 10/12/2004
josh HAH. This is like that guy with the enormous phone from Trigger-Happy TV. "ALLO! NO, I'M ON THE SUBWAY. YEAH, THE SUBWAY. CAN YOU SPEAK UP? I CANNA HEAR YOU!" Date Added: 10/12/2004
Gone Away Uh oh. You've caught me Josh. That's exactly what I was getting at... ;) Date Added: 10/12/2004

josh Not to be a complete shit -- but the web designer in me finds it rather humorous that the two images keeping your page from validating are the ones that say "W3C". As the overburdened laundry worker says: "Oh, the ironing!" Date Added: 12/12/2004
Gone Away I have found the answer to the Great Comments Record Race! Just don't write a blog for a few days and the commenters will vent their frustration on the topmost page...We DEMAND a shrubbery! Date Added: 12/12/2004
Gone Away I've just realised - Josh got a working smiley on his comment!
How did he dothat? Of course, I realise that it's just a case of web developer's one-upmanship... Date Added: 12/12/2004
Gone Away Another thing - Josh seems to have turned on italics in one of his comments. I've tried everything I can think of to turn em (nice pun, Gone) off but nothing works. Help, Mad! Date Added: 12/12/2004
Mad Ah I see what you mean Dad, Mr Hill hasn't closed an <em> somewhere and italicised everything after that. What was he saying about the "web designer" part of him? Date Added: 12/12/2004
Mad Ok now I feel forced to defend myself. Go validate any of my static pages Hill and they'll all pan out - including the w3c buttons - but with the dynamic ASP.NET pages it's a whole different story thanks to Visual Studio, the .NET framework and IIS all conspiring against me. You see Visual Studio hates nice lower case tags and when your back's turned it may capitalise them. It also likes to capitalise tag attributes (which is much harder to spot). Then I've got hassles like ASP.NET and IIS return different content according to how they view the user agent. On my site I use what ASP.NET calls panels which are really just div's that you can access programatically BUT if say Firefox comes along .NET/ISS says to itself "uh-oh it's an old Netscape browser, it won't understand div's lets feed it tables instead" which drives me batty frankly. There is a bit of ramble about this issue on my home page and it is something I will find hacks for but right now it knackers my dynamic pages. So apologies Josh, MadTV does support standards wherever possible... Date Added: 12/12/2004
Way What the hell, Mr. Bell. Now look what you have done.Yer cat’s un-bagged and won’t return, spoiling all MY fun.Instead of eat and shit and fuck: life’s priorities;I’m sitting here enduring life’s insensibilities Date Added: 12/12/2004
josh Yeah. I had to drop the ball somewhere -- I knew there was something wrong with one of me comments when half of it didn't show the other night. It showed up in source, but not on the page - go figger.Sorry bout that. Bubs, mang - I just wanted to let you know that that post began as a way to work in that terrible pun - not as a witch hunt for a monkeywrench. :> But you certainly have my almost-completely-genuine sympathy -- I mean, wow, Microsoft. Wow. Date Added: 12/12/2004
