15:35.40dick_turpinLeedsHK: Don't get me wrong the concept is brilliant, its just most of the users have crap design skill (IMO)
15:38.36LeedsHKthis year is below average for rainfall in HK, it's been a pretty quiet typhoon season so far, and the forecast for this week is "fine and very hot" :-)
15:39.21dick_turpinLeedsHK: Not surprising seeing as we have the rest of the worlds rain here

18:47.46z00daxmorsing: check it!
19:27.22Ch0HagWhere is the bloody 'sell stuff' button on ebay?
19:27.40antiphaseOn the front page usually
19:27.46Ch0HagWhy does every company that tries to make money off the internet make it so bloody hard to do so?
19:28.02antiphasehttp://sell.ebay.co.uk/sell
19:28.10antiphaseOn the front page, with the legend "Sell"
19:28.58Ch0HagAh here it is. The fourth menu item from the bottom opens a page letting you sell stuff.
19:29.16Ch0HagSecond from the bottom, even.
19:29.27Ch0HagUnder the 'related links' heading.
19:29.28antiphaseMaybe it's different if you sign in, which is something of a prerequisite to selling stuff ;)
19:29.38Ch0HagBecause I suppose selling things is at least vaguely related to my ebay account.
19:30.19Ch0HagIf this list goes from most to least important, selling things is only more important than safety.
19:31.54antiphaseLike I said, If you surf to http://www.ebay.co.uk/ there's a load of things right at the top, like "Buy", "Sell", "My eBay", blah blah blah ;)
19:32.18antiphaseAre you one of those "better idiots" I keep hearing about?
19:32.49Ch0HagProably.
19:33.00Ch0HagI find 'easy' stuff incredibly painful to use.
19:33.11antiphaseNow Facebook, on the other hand, is an abortion of UI design
19:33.53Ch0HagI managed to screw up my first installation og Ubuntu but install Slink back when it was new was a cinch.
19:34.41Ch0HagExcept Risc OS.
19:35.11Ch0HagThat is easy to use *and* logical, which I find tend to be mutually exclusive.
19:36.25antiphaseShame it's a bit 1980s then
19:36.32Ch0HagDa.
19:38.50haliand facebook is being overrun by weird api apps
19:38.57halilike that f*cking vampire thing
19:45.57Ch0HagVampires need fake friends too.
19:48.32Ch0HagGah!
19:48.55Ch0HagThey ask for a refresh rate in Hz and aren't intelligent enough to strip 'Hz' out of what I enter.
19:49.54Ch0Hags/H(ert)?z// people!
19:50.09Ch0HagHell even just s/[^0-9\.]//;
19:51.51antiphaseStop being obtuse
19:52.33Ch0HagWell if they'd at least told me before I submitted the form I wouldn't mind so much.
19:56.43Ch0HagDoes any browser have a 'never open a new window unless I explicitely tell you to' option?
19:59.07antiphaseFirefox can force it into a new tab if you check the box
19:59.14antiphaseAnd block popups as well
20:00.23morsingBeer
20:00.28Ch0HagThat's not quite the same.
20:01.22antiphaseSeems to work like you want for me, I only ever end up with one browser window open
20:01.44Ch0HagAnyway I have 'tab' selected for 'new pages should open in' or whatever it's called, and I still get the odd new window which I have to then close and middle-click.
20:01.52Ch0HagAnyway I'd like it to open in the *same* tab.
20:01.58rhoweVictory for OLPC? http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070720/od_nm/nigeria_pornography_dc;_ylt=A0WTUfF176FG8XwBExgZ.3QA
20:02.16Ch0HagBasically make Javascript's new_window function or whatever it's called a no-op.
20:02.42haliCh0Hag: greasemonkey can do that for you
20:08.17morsingChocolate?
20:10.42Ch0HagI'd like to meet the people who thought the laptops *wouldn't* be used for porn.
20:10.52Ch0HagI'd like to meet them and laugh at them.
20:10.53morsingMe too
20:10.59Ch0HagAnd be glad that I don't work for them.
20:11.20Ch0HagBecause you *know* they're managers of some form or other.
