Google’s preview rant

Thursday, November 11th, 2010

Google have recently implemented site preview on it’s search results pages.

  • Great feature!
  • Implemented wrong. It feels completely wrong. I mean the behavior.

I wonder how much time it will take to fix it.

Apache HTTP server configuration rant: Order / Allow / Deny

Thursday, November 11th, 2010

Seriously?
What exactly they have been thinking?
No wonder I’m always confused with all these Order, Allow, Deny.
The documentation reads:

Note that all Allow and Deny directives are processed, unlike a typical firewall

Isn’t it like reinventing the wheel but making it square?
Could anyone explain why would someone complicate such simple thing as access list? Please …

Do not click here

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

Most of the sites use "click here for/to …" wording. That implies that:

  • The user is too stupid to see it is a link (alternatively the webmaster made it impossible to see it is a link)
  • The user has and uses a mouse
  • The document is not going to be printed (it will look stupid then)
  • The webmaster has no imagination
  • The webmaster does not care how the site will be indexed by search engines
