I hate javascript

no, i’m fucking serious. del.icio.us launches network badges and they wrap 2 images, 5 links, and a paragraph inside a javascript for NO FUCKING REASON WHATSOEVER. so now whenever joe n00b comes bouncing into the forum asking how to add it to his sidebar, we have to explain the intricacies of ‘view selection source’, so we can grab the HTML instead of the stupid javascript.

i’m only so pissed because networks are such a good idea.

at this point, though, the forum is so full of threadjackers and adsense haters on the warpath, i’m having a hard time spending time in there.

I saw that once and then smacked myself in the face. Har, har, har, isn’t that funny?

i don’t even know anymore.
certain people seem to have gone off the deep end after the introduction of paid features they don’t want to pay for.
you and wank seem to be bearing the brunt of it, not really sure why.

I hate java script too. I hate having to sound like a broken record. I have read your blog and know how you feel about thread hijackers and adsense haters (like me) but I would like you to read what’s written at the link below and then help me out next week on the forum. http://tdjc.be/2006/08/10/not-going-to-be-around-much-next-week/

yeah, that was kind of an empty threat about not spending time there.
