Civility in critiquing the ideas of others is no vice. Rudeness in defending your own ideas is no virtue.


Sessions update: Exhibitors added, speakers identified
Mon 5 Jan 2009, 01:39 PM
Just replicate (or download sessions db first and then replicate), and you will have all the exhibitors listed.  A bit more work is necessary to display them properly, and I am trying to get speaker companies from somewhere, but we are making progress.  Oh yes, and 1992 downloads so far.

Inadequate warning?
Mon 5 Jan 2009, 09:04 AM
 
Warnings are wonderful things, but at times, they are inadequate, whether because they don't give you time to react, they don't give you a way to react, or they warn about too little.  One of my favorite recent warnings is shown below as I test my rendering goals on a two versions of that same table, one nested inside a single cell table bit otherwise unchanged.  
 
Now, ask yourself, doesn't the sign above pretty much describe the process below (especially the second table)?  Too little, too late.
 
 
Notes e-mail with warning
 
Notes message with warning dialog
 
 
Message as it arrived in GMail.  Particularly note the second part with the nested table
