WEBSITE: MEOWGOROUND is broken

Wednesday, April 5, 2017

https://www.meowgoround.com

Tried to order a dumb cat toy.

Guess what?

The website didn’t work.

It kept asking for shipping country.

… … but there was no drop down box for it.

Argh!

Does anyone test? Does anyone do use cases? Does anyone care?

Of course, there was no way to contact the seller except by phone.

So there’s one lost sale.

WEBSITE: I guess Hilton doesn’t program a calendar?

I guess programming a “drop dead” date in their webpage is too difficult.

Unless this was intended as an April Fools’ joke. Which I doubt.

Sigh!

WEBSITE: NCAA “bracket challenge” looks like it has a bug to me

Saturday, March 18, 2017

No, I had ark. I was looking a frenchy’s bracket. 
 
Whew.
 
But the brackets say I’m 25\160 and he’s 23\96. The summary has him leading 33 to 26?
 
Looks like a bug to me.
 
And, it’s really annoying me.

WEBSITE: Collecting “social media” information

Sunday, November 30, 2008

http://www.retaggr.com

What is Retaggr about?

* Unifying your online profiles. Bring all your profiles on all your sevices into one place, so the world can find out who you are, and connect with you.

* We’re not another social network. You already have your profiles all over the web. We help consolidate your identity.

* We give you a bunch of tools to do so. Retaggr widgets, badges, an email signature, the Add Me Button, and of course, your rich, interactive Profile Card.

# – # – #

Interesting. I added their widget to the right column. We’ll see if it’s used at all?

WEBSITE: FACEBOOK has bugs

Wednesday, November 26, 2008

Facebook has a lot of bugs in it imho. I have folks, like YYYY, listed as “friends” in a search I did, BUT I can’t suggest them to XXXX who just joined. So I have to write a message to YYYY aiming them at XXXX.

Argh!

As an old IT guy, to much happens on websites silently. FACEBOOK doesn’t inspire confidence with the “magic” things that happen. Data gets stale. There are unspoken limits (i.e., I can’t add any new “friends”; too many. Guess no one figured on someone who knows a lot of fellow alumni.) Drops are done silently (i.e., was that an error).

Long way to go before you can trust these sites. At least a rolodex didn’t lose the cards.

TECH WEBSITE: Click on this week’s link and get last week’s issue.

Sunday, May 11, 2008

Entertaining problem. Did Jasper Jottings this week as usual. Just under one hour. New issue up and pushed. Checked the JasperJottings website. New index is up. Click on this week’s link and get last week’s issue. Argh!

First thought is to blame Microsoft Word. Check the site’s web page the link is correct.

Second thought is it had to be 1and1’s problem. Call tech support. Got right through. Who has problems on Sunday morning. Nice lady confirms my stuff is right. (That’s a relief!)

She does some stuff. And, comes back to tell me my week 19 upload actually has week 18 in it. Huh?

So, very embarrassed, I ring off.

Word again?

So I cut ‘n’ paste to a new document. Upload.

Shazam, problem solved.

Elapsed time one hour!

Great productivity tool, Microsoft. Great one.
