Old Man Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Re: The cranky thread Not For Resale. We're a Cisco reseller and we're trying to buy some lab gear under an NFR discount. The online tool is... involved. But by wasting the time of myself and two engineers for an entire day, we got it figured out. Huzzah.

Huzzah.[/quote'] I read somewhere that it should take no more than 2-3 clicks for the user to get anywhere on your website. This would naturally include buying things. As a consumer of websites, that sounds good to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally that's true, but I've seen that philosophy taken too far to the point where each page has a billion links on it. So you do have to take reality into account sometimes. That said, Cisco could do with a sweeping reorganization of its B2B websites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkdguy Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Re: The cranky thread I spent half of last night learning Boolean Algebra in order to teach it today. I printed out 15+ pages of notes, both for myself and the student. Then the student cancels the session at the last minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gewing Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Re: The cranky thread I just got a call from a co-worker. Someone broke into both his wife's car and his, and stole basically every tool he owned. He had moved a lot of them out of where he had them stored, but hadn't taken them inside because he was tired. He did not have comprehensive coverage on his vehicles... I wonder if his homeowners would cover? This poor guy can't buy a break. he has more bad luck than anyone else I know.

SatinKitty Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Re: The cranky thread We miss our departed cats too. Especially Pudge. She was so affectionate and loved us so much. Cassandra used to hug me when I carried her. When you go to Heaven, Nefertiti will crowd out your departed loved ones to greet you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrosshairCollie Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Re: The cranky thread Had another angioplasty for my fistula today. The blockage/kink wasn't as bad as last time, but still ... unpleasant. My arm still hurts, which is weird because it didn't really hurt this bad after the last time, which involved more mucking around, so ... yeah, I dunno.
