...and playing whack-a-mole with the ebook spammers.
I have no idea how many posts I've kicked this morning, but it's far too many.
This spambot is getting annoying - and stupid as well, given that it's been going for weeks now and never once gotten anything through...

Well, I know from the Missus at home that you've got to be tenacious. Once in a blue moon, it may just happen (if you're lucky)...

So you are her personal spambot and she says this to you?
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

Something like that. "Annoying" and "stupid" sounds familiar anyway...

... For winio screens, that is.
It must be an extension of their "make all windows/borders/title-bars white" crusade.
Mind you, now it's at least functional as a lamp, when it crashes, which is almost as useful as it is when it doesn't.

"No design" is the new design 
I came into this game for the action, the excitement. Go anywhere, travel light, get in, get out, wherever there's trouble, a man alone. Now they got the whole country sectioned off, you can't make a move without a form.

They take their cues from Disaster Area:
"'It's the wild colour scheme that freaks me out,' said Zaphod, whose love affair with the ship had lasted almost three minutes into the flight. 'Every time you try and operate these weird black controls that are labeled in black on a black background, a little black light lights up black to let you know you've done it.'"

Wow. Adams really knew the future of UX design.

It used to be funny back in the days when he wrote that, but I stopped laughing upon the release of W8, which introduced the flat "design". As long as you have bezels and backkdrops or just about anything that serves as a visible border of an UI component, all is well. But the flat design dumped them.
Using identical colors does exacerbate this problem. But with visible borders, it wouldn't be a problem at all.
GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

That's a good point.
The "An error has occurred" message might be there, but still in white text.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
