What... what the...

* Tawarochir multiclasses as a cleric and begins praying to Armok and the Flying Spaghetti Monster to smite these web design fools

[Hanslanda]

Not really a full blown rage, but something I find extremely annoying. I hit the 'down' side yesterday. I can now look forward to waking up and just generally being in a shitty mood for the next 3-20 days. :/ I usually overcome it and have good times anyway, but it just makes everything a little more difficult.

[Sirus]

* Sirus grumbles

My department seriously needs to get a new planner. They know that my next load is delayed. They know that there are free trailers here that I can take instead. A reasonably competent planner would have switched my assignment to taking a free trailer hours ago. I do not have a reasonably competent planner, which is why I'm still sitting here.

[MaximumZero]

My modem is being a stupid jerk and refusing to work properly.

Why in the name of zeus do people consider things like this monstrosity as acceptable website design? It is a single goddamn page, loaded from top to bottom with individual... somethings, either flash or HTML5 because fuck low bandwidth or sensible browsing habits, scrolling with you pop-up bullshit, just, just. Good gods. Shit like this makes we wish for the days of anglefire and backgrounds that only tried to induce seizures.

E: Fair warning, it appears the site is capable of crashing browsers and/or phones. Follow at own risk.

...I seem to be in the unique position of having no problem with it. I think it loaded everything up-front? It's an odd design, sure, but it actually doesn't look too bad either.

[Frumple]

Beyond the technical issues with it (frontloading everything is reason enough to drag the site designer out into the road and shoot them. Maybe just in the knee or with a beanbag launcher or something, but still.), even the presentation was bloody horrible for me, Arx. I was trying to find information for someone interested in the vehicle in question, and even finding simple stuff like "How the hell much does this cost" "What's in the ruddy thing"* and so on was... not easy. Important information was hidden or obfuscated, everything was just poorly ordered, printing anything off was just an absolute pain in the ass (or, more accurately, I took one look at it and didn't even try), and the list just rolls on down hill. I mean, sure the colors and whatnot were coordinated well enough and whatever, but as a website and not an art piece it just... failed.

It's... not a good example of how you make a website.

** Iirc, specifications and various possible options were split up into like three or four different places on the site, just as an example, and none of it had, y'know, actual specific lists or information or whatnot. Stuff like that makes me want to cripple people.

[Arx]

I suppose I didn't actually want anything from it. I can see it being terrible if you have a list of things you need to find, definitely.
Technically, I think I may have somehow got lucky on this one. It certainly did nothing terrible to my browser, despite my computer being more closely related to a toaster than a gaming machine.

[LordSlowpoke]

huh, my toaster was fine with the site too

maybe it was designed specifically for toasters?

i mean people with toasters are the sort of people who're in the market for $7000 cars i think

[hops]

People with toasters are intelligent enough to save money for the finer thing in life, which are hookers, more hookers, and the most hookers of them all.

[LordSlowpoke]

are you trying to insinuate that i am the mysterious benefactor who orders the various trailers the magical truck president brings to las vegas

that is not the case

absolutely not

I was working on a decent looking picture when suddenly Krita crashed on me.
And of course I didn't save it, so I lost the entire progress.

Fuck off, Krita.

So as if a late night and an inability to sleep weren't bad enough, I have apparently left my phone - which I kinda need to keep in touch with my boss and use as an alarm clock since I don't have an actual such device - in the truck. Which is probably now 100 miles away.

It's not that bad for me.

I only save every 40 seconds. On a different slot.

I like that .gif so much for rage purposes I may add it to the OP.
