Friday [8 to 13]

(1416) Afternoon all. (1555)

 

13. The three letter sites today



12. The question is … how to make it so?


11. This 👇🏻


10. IYE seems to be hard at it today in the sidebar


9. There are a couple of a/cs just now which seem impressive

… to li’l ole me … No Context Brits and Amuse. Amuse seems to be privy to some inside information at times:


8. Classic case we were discussing

… at least, I was discussing with MMutR … that of links here at HQ and formerly at … t’other place. Thing is, some readers like to be spoonfed and if that link they see before them does not go directly to the required page, they become miffed … yessiree … miffed I say.

This is the complete intolerance of any delay whatever in this online era … gimme it all now or I’m leaving. Matters not if I explain that there is only so much one aging man can pack into a day’s blogging, whilst trying to keep the reader from having to go to an older page … in other words, putting abridged versions up to avoid space wastage … endless scrolling down.

Plus these days, certain links are verboten … bots look out for these, certain things happen to the site, esp. if British, as we’re under a communist regime right now … incarceration etc., ten plod at your door early morn. Why do you think I use the word Nole for my favourite Martian? Our reader droppers get it … sadly, some of our reader “fly in, fly out esteemables”, worthy souls all … don’t quite get it.

Take this one for example:


Now, I do see how difficult it is for a backend techie to take that half url and find the article … it takes anything upwards of two clicks … but I’m relying on our boys to be able to do it, seeing if there’s anything worth following up. If so … then we follow it up.

  1. Please describe in a step by step manner how I can get to that article in two clicks.

    ……

    JH: Good thing there’s a superuser at hand.

    Type the visible part of the url in browser … click.

    Up comes this: Apple ordered to open encrypted user accounts globally to UK spying
    1 day ago — The secret order would give the UK access to encrypted backups belonging to any user — not just Brits. It has the link … click.

    There ya go.

    (Note to self: lucky he allowed two clicks, not one … was nearly gone there.) 😎

    (Second note to self … living dangerously, Jimbo, best back off. Arguing tech with a techie and theology with a theologian, Churchmouse, at the same time … not wise.)

  2. That is not up to two clicks. You can access anything then with one click according to your rules but typing is just so old fashioned nowadays.

    ……

    JH: 😄
