The life of a developer in the real world.#

Please would people learn how to write bug reports. It's not that hard. Pretend you're Columbo or one of the Law & Order detectives. We're working together to convict and sentence the problem. No one can read your mind. Just the facts ma'am. You have to get us the data we need or we can't help you. Saying you have no idea what's happening have you ever seen this isn't to help you get your stuff working. #

Maybe in 2023 journalism can work on giving users a better experience, because we read more than one publication. Wouldn't it be great if you all built off each others work, instead of pretending each of you is the whole world?#

A demo for Jeff#

I was having a private conversation with longtime friend Jeff Jarvis. #
I want to show him what's new with blogging, with a quick demo. #

These are my blogged notes about a conference we both went to. #
What's new is I can find this stuff now! :-)#
Believe it or not, in all the years I've been blogging, this is the first time I can say that. #
Mind bomb!#

You know those obnoxious sites that pop up dialogs when they think you're about to leave, asking you to subscribe to their email newsletter? Well that won't do for Scripting News readers who are a discerning lot, very loyal, but that wouldn't last long if I did rude stuff like that. So here I am at the bottom of the page quietly encouraging you to sign up for the nightly email. It's got everything from the previous day on Scripting, plus the contents of the linkblog and who knows what else we'll get in there. People really love it. I wish I had done it sooner. And every email has an unsub link so if you want to get out, you can, easily -- no questions asked, and no follow-ups. Go ahead and do it, you won't be sorry! :-)
