Okay. Now that you're here.

Ever click on a website and wish that you could collar the designers and tell them, "no. Just... no" before they published the site? Dreamed that you could have prevented the agony of thousands, nay, millions of internet viewers?

Now you can.

www.port32.com is about to go live and part of the design team (i.e., my dad) is looking for people to describe their experience browsing the site.

As many people as possible. As soon as possible.

I can already say that since I'm running Win98 with a processor too slow for Flash? There's no way I'd spend ten seconds waiting for their flashy-graphics to load.

*rubs hands together* I've always wished I could do this... some designers must be stopped.



In other news: Last night I dreamed I had a sleek baby porpoise in my arms that kept nuzzling me with his bottlenose.

And the porpoise purred.

I personally just find this much Flash annoying-- anyone trying to sell something seems to think they need it, but I think it's overrated. I'd rather have a clean, simple site that shows me what they've got without so many bells and whistles

Same here. I always turn the flash off and after my last computer melt-down I never replaced my flash player. The key to internet travel is a) can I find what I need? and b) can I find what I need quickly?

My dad says thank you (http://icarusancalion.livejournal.com/515925.html), apparently he wasn't getting honest feedback. He also let me know he's heading off for the cottage, but I got this last batch of comments to him in time.

He's a great writer. Do you think we should milk a cottage journal story out of him?
