When your gingerbread men don’t sell.
Invert them and add antlers.
You now have reindeer.
But, isn’t it the wrong time of year for those?

Analysing the Time 100 influential results

Leefe — Sun, 07 Apr 2013 23:05:08 +0000

Time have their ’100 most influential people’ poll on at the moment.

It is interesting to analyse the voting results so far. Like the person with the most ‘Yes’ votes has almost double the number for the next person, but has 27% more ‘No’ votes. Mohamed Morsi, president of Egypt.

Assad has the 3rd highest Yes vote, and only 21% more ‘No’s than ‘Yes’s votes.

Neil Gaiman is 4th with 23,847 votes, a very small 2,268 against.

Julia Gillard is the first woman in the list, at number 8, with 13,151 Yes and 14,143 No votes. (Beating Beyoncé)

And Kim Dotcom still needs your votes at number 17.

Everyone needs a mugshot… or two… or three…

Everyone needs an avatar. What with all the social media services you need to stick one on these days.

Do you use the same face for Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Tumbler, Gravitar, AOL, Yahoo and all the others (the list goes on)?
How do you present yourself to the world?
What’s your mugshot?

Hungry escalator only leaves kids shoe at Woolworths #photo

The escalator had stopped. And stuck at the end was a small child’s shoe. The escalator must have been hungry, if all it left was a shoe.

Shoppers were inconvenienced, trudging down the busiest escalator at Woolworths Town Hall. Past this lonely kids shoe at the bottom.

Did the store employees receive counselling after this tragedy? Or is it a regular occurrence?

We shall never know, it was all ‘fixed’ the next day.

Has the Subscriber Agreement printing run out of Steam?

Leefe — Sun, 13 Jan 2013 00:28:38 +0000

Just updated Steam on my Mac, and on relaunch I get this ‘nice’ Steam Subscriber Agreement notice that I need to agree to before continuing further.

Not wanting to try reading the whole agreement in white text on a black/grey background, I thought take advantage of the Click here to print link (and turn it into a PDF). But it does nothing.

If you are going to put a way to print things, do you think it would be good to check it works?

No, I suppose, the stand use-case for testing only includes clicking the I Agree button. I mean, why would you bother checking people’s ability to understand the licence agreement?
