Wednesday, November 21st, 2007The Nigerian Spammers Are Caught!
Saturday, September 8th, 2007I think this is the end of an era; all those Nigerian 419 spammers (You know, Mr. Umbugaguwakubankurmagaru of the 22nd Nigerian First Banking Oil Holdings Corporation) have finally been caught!
Failing that, this is probably the worst 419 attempt I’ve ever seen in my life. Read more for the full thing.
London 2012’s logo looks like *what*?
Tuesday, June 5th, 2007
Pretty, huh? This is the official logo of the 2012 Olympic games, to be held in London. It comes in a variety of colours, and is designed to be animated in all manner of wierd and wonderful ways. The cost? A phenomenal £400,000 to the Wolff Olins agency, who apparently specialise in things like this. There’s one major problem though, which I will illustrate with the aid of an (Admittedly virtual) marker pen.
Yes, that’s the real logo underneath. Now go look at the the one without my scrawlings.
Check mirrors, engage brain…
Sunday, May 13th, 2007Please, don’t be this stupid. Your satnav is not to be blindly followed, and if you are unable to read instructions on a level crossing then you should not (I repeat, not) be allowed in charge of a vehicle. At all. Ever. In any way.
MySpace Can Go Die
Wednesday, June 7th, 2006I recently had a prod at the ever-dreaded MySpace to make a profile look vaguely appealing. What I saw made me almost physically sick. I knew MySpace profiles were notorious for being bad, but now I know why.
User Interface
I’m not sure who designed the user interface, but it is seriously in need of an overhaul.
Imagine that your CD player had four drives which may or may not work depending on if it’s a sunny Tuesday. The track skip buttons are located one on the top and one on the back of the unit, and the play button is only available after you’ve opened all four drives whilst holding down the shuffle button. That’s somewhere in the right area of how bad MySpace’s interface really is. It took me a full 10 minutes to find what I was trying to edit, hidden under the biography of all things. I was trying to edit the HTML to change the appearance of the profile to something you didn’t need to squint to understand.
