“Blood on my hands.” was penned precisely on 26 May, 2004 02:54 PM, which happened to be a Wednesday. but you know what? dullneon.com's random notes has now moved to a new location.
So now Singaporeans can now learn to ‘tackle spam’ with yet another patently sorry website. (Yet another campaign in a country where we have to teach people to be kind and to somehow procreate.) If you wonder why most government-related websites look like they were cobbled together using sticks, stones, ugly bevels and inopportune drop shadows, I can tell you (with some authority*) that it is not always the agency’s or designers’ fault. The stakeholders are usually (but not always) dour paper-, pen- and pencil-pushing bureaucrats who seldom know anything about the Web, who usually have other more senior bureaucrats to answer to and who think a site with mass appeal must look like their own favourite sites combined.
* I usually bury my government related work very deep underground so they’d never be found
this was published on 26 May in the year 2004, which was a Wednesday. anyway, all this is old and archived. everything has been now been moved, so head on down to the revamped almost daily random notes (unless of course you like this old stuff too much to part with it).
