I love your website, there’s allways lots of interesting stories on it like this one about dolphins playing games, I expect I like it as it combines dolphins and games, two things which I care for very much. The thing is though, I only found out about the dolphins’ cute antics because it was linked to on a site I read regularly, you see I don’t visit your site that much because it looks so eye gougingly awfull. You have RSS feeds so your site can’t be that old, but it looks like it was designed in 1995, by a bloke you know from down the pub. Seriously, frames? buggy javascript menus? That rippling Java app at the bottom? Fantasy art backgrounds? That colour scheme? What were you thinking?

Lots of Love

PS Does anyone else have any examples of needlessly horrible webdesign?

The bits of programing I hate the most are ultimately the bits that make it so rewarding. It’s just so unbelievably sweet when you manage to hunt down a particularly egregious bug. The satisfaction of picking apart a problem using only simple deductive logic and a few moments of inspired guesswork make the general drudgery of the job seem worthwhile.

I think it’s how Columbo must feel after solving a particuarly tough case.

Incidentally, this is my favourite Columbo episode.

If you like video games and strong Scottish accents you should watch this. My favourite bit is the character designer who keeps on designing Otis Reading on a tractor.
