For the record

The update schedule has changed to a Monday/Thursday routine. This is pretty much because I feel too rushed to get the articles out, and so I hope this will allow for an increase in content quality.
Also, I wonder how many people pronounce schedule as “Shhedule” vs “Skedjual.”
I am the former.

SharePoint 2007: What the hell, man?

So I just spent four hours of my life fighting with SharePoint 2007. I can’t explain all the details because my employer pays me, which in turn pays the bills and they frown upon my telling of company secrets. I can, however, bitch about some things that have been irritating me over the past while. As it turns out everything I hate converged on me today.

Let the story begin!

Lamb (January 2003)

Despite choice of quote, I can assure you that for the most part Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal is as fantastic all the way through. It sports fantastic writing by one of my favorite authors: Christopher Moore.

Apparently IE8 is Causing Ruckus

You heard me people: ruckus.

For those not in the know, I’m talking about the apparent browser version targeting that the IE8 team is going to be providing. This has caused a bit of a split amongst the web community. I won’t go into excessive detail over the topic, because there are others that have expanded upon it as much as humanly possible.

Do you suffer from Crummy User Experience?

I’m sick of Crummy User Experience (CUE). I’m sure there are many ways to describe it, and everyone can relate. Crummy User Experience is a broad term that generally describes when you -the user- interact with something -web form, bank machine, car door, etc- and it sucked, or sucks depending on you’re lifes requirements.

Recently I had to sign up for a couple sites, I won’t say what ones because I don’t wish to bring them any undo ire. What they did wrong was no different than many other sites do on a repeated basis: they didn’t tell me what to do.

Endless Ocean

There’s a Wii game called Endless Ocean. It has this track on it. I want it simply to lull me to sleep.
