There's a good reason why I pronounce it "CuSS".

Aside from browser differences and updates, I discovered a while back that the same page in the same browser worked on my box, but on a virtual machine it went to hell. All the input text types decided to huddle (one atop another) in the upper left corner.
The cure I found for this was absolute positioning.

Wow. Thanks for pointing out.

I think that "Give up and Use Tables" would be a great name for a song.

The layout is far too complex for a table.

I am running a survey on the Microsoft Outlook app. Would anyone be so kind as to help me collect data for a personal project of mine by taking the survey?: Outlook Survey[^]
Thanks

Wait. There are people still using Outlook?
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

Even worse, it's the outlook app, so you need live tiles, full-screen whitespace, and unwanted updates.

I'm considering developing a custom Android /iOS client because my friend hates the UX so much.

Can I open your survey with "Open Office" ?

I spent four months in the Spanish mountains sharing, with one other person, what was basically a goatherd's shed - you get used to it and there is something very refreshing about the simplicity of not having space to store junk.

I know several people in the community here that have built or are currently building a tiny house to live in. There's a fun movie to watch ( Tiny-The Movie ) [^] that documents one guy's process of building one (not someone in the community here.)

Looks like it might be fun for a week and then real life sets in and you realize that you don't have enough room to own a cat, never mind swing it.
I watch Tiny House Nation [^] now and again; fascinating.

My wife and I watch the show you mentioned, as well. Very interesting.

I always thought I grew up in a tiny house, now I know I was wrong.

I live in a 800 sq.feet apartment.
I could reduce that to about 400-500 sq.feet and still be comfortable (I have a big bedroom and bathroom that can be shrunk easily).
Smaller than that is a little bit too small for my (frugal) taste.
I'd rather be phishing!

Do you live by yourself? Any pets?
|

No pets, GF does not live with me (she has her own bigger apartment)
She could not handle a small apartment, she needs an office and at least a guest bedroom (and a couple, or more, closets).
The thing with tiny houses is that you restrict yourself in a lot of situations, you cannot have more than 1 or 2 friends over for diner; you cannot have people sleep over; if you live somewhere with more than one season, then you need to have some more space to store clothing (especially winter cloths) and if you are into sport, then you need storage for that also.

If it's a tiny house or a cardboard box under a bridge, I think most people would find a way. If they'd invented e-books 30 years ago so I didn't have to make room for yards and yards of shelving I certainly wouldn't say no to it as an alternative to renting as I do now.

I lived in a 10x50 mobile home for around 5 years. It was right next to my grandparent's house in the sticks. Right outside my front door was an 8 acre pond my grandfather had built in '76. I still dream of cool and foggy summer daybreaks in the canoe with my flyrod. That was the life!..but I'm daydreaming and way off topic. Sorry.
As for living in small places, that's about as small as I could ever go. (500 sq. ft.) The way I made it work was to sacrifice a bed for an office and sleep on the couch. Also, I could have a clothes dryer or a stove/oven, so I used a microwave oven and hotplate for cooking. (solar clothes dryers are way overrated!) There was barely room to walk between the TV and coffee table (I've still got scars on my shins from it!) and I could touch the ceiling with my elbows...but it was home and I made it work. The benefits were that my average utility bill was about $60/month and best of all, I got to really know my grandparents as real human beings (from an adult perspective) and make a difference in their last years. It's the only reason I'm where I am today, or probably even here at all.
500 square feet is probably the minimum for 1 person with very few possessions based on personal experience.
