To those that complained about the recent Gmail downtime. Don’t be a fucking dick. You’re complaining about a service which is FREE. It’s also worked pretty flawlessly up until now. I suppose it’s somewhat indicative of our society though. We feel such a sense of entitlement that when the slightest thing goes wrong we complain.
Ever notice that when someone comments online they feel the need to preface their comment. For example they might say…. ‘let me just start by saying…. blah blah blah’. Then they will generally talk about how normal they are, or how attractive the opposite sex finds them. It’s the internet equivalent of the racist person talking about how they’re not racist because they have a black friend.
There was a time when “programming” HTML was the job of a child: create a table, add some lorem ipsum, some images with vertical alignment tweaked a little, and (god forbid) an iframe or frame set. Javascript was cryptic and served the purpose of altering the status bar of your browsers and generally just be annoying.
Along came CSS… Now everyone in their right mind would greet CSS with flowers and as a liberator. Freeing us from the work of creating layouts and individual styling of each element that you want to look the same across many pages. Another great benefit of it is that you can swap style sheets in 1 go and have a completely different looking layout (even modifying some content at times)!
Where to even begin…..
Twitter is now a certified phenomenon. It seems everyone is talking about twitter and tweeting. It’s gotten to the point where even news organizations are talking about it and using it. As we all know twitter is an instant notification system which allows you to give updates on what you’re doinog at any given time. In other words, now you can know when your friends are taking a shit, drinking coffee, or pretending to work. What a wonderful age we live in.
A review site with a slightly negative bent. In other words, we love to hate.
