Luckily, that’s only about seven tons of screenshot.
Heh. I was just amused. Luckily, it rendered behind the important stuff on the page, but I could still see the important parts of the image — so no big deal.
that is weird.
I keep forgetting that not everybody views web content at 1900 x 1200 pixels.
I’m close at 1280×1024
My goal is to make the experience endurable at 1024 x 768, but I don’t always check. Any less than that is just too limiting.
I remember back in the days when we had to make Windows apps “appealing” in 640 x 480. That was a trip!
BTW, this little tool is handy for measuring your real estate usage. It would be perfect if it was free, but it’s well worth the $29.50. Recommended to me by TDavid.
that is a neat tool. Maybe next month.
god, we must have been insane.
It’s a corollary to Wirth’s law. Software needs more graphics capability sooner than hardware provides it.
I’m on a laptop with a maximum resolution of 1024×768 — and I still design for 800×600, because I still want as many people as reasonably possible to be able to access content without trouble. Most of the time, I think my design is even suitable at 640×480, in fact.
so you’re force feeding Akismet spam?
“But I don’t want any spam!”
If anybody could choke it, I guess I’m the one. I got onto somebody’s spam list back before I used WordPress, and they just aren’t giving up. Thankfully, Akismet catches probably 97% of the spam, with only a false positive every other month or so.
interesting.
I still just dump stuff from unproven sources into moderation, and delete it by hand. I don’t trust Akismet, and the moderation interface is better anyway.
Several hundred spam comments at SOB per day, but it’s not nearly as difficult to sort as it sounds — and, frankly, I’d end up sifting through Akismet by hand too. I’m paranoid about false positives.
Using the Auntie Spam plugin from engtech has made the Akismet interface much easier to navigate. For one thing, it groups all comments from the same source together — so when I get 102 comments from a single user, I can write them all off at once.
Hmm — that does sound handy.
