I've been working on converting a Brazilian crowdfunding site (Catarse, which you may have heard me talk about and which y'all make jokes about) for a non-profit out in Denver for local neighborhood project funding (when it goes live next Friday I'll post the link, don't blame me for the layout, I only do what I'm told) - anyways, the folks are reviewing things (last minute, of course) and came up with this "bug": please edit the layout of the user bio / skills page to have more white space and look more pretty. :sigh: Marc

I'm sure that was in the spec somewhere? :)

Brazilian crowdfunding
Surely Brazilians don't cost enough to warrent that. Heck, I'd give them pro bono. :cool:

You can't argue with "more pretty."
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
On the other hand, one should leave some pretty to be added in the next version.

I've had the request for spec change for "Can you make this color a little more bluey?" in reference to a labels text color. I couldn't think of anything intelligent to say other than Blooooo-eeeeeee? To which they said yes, Blooo-eeee. OK...
It was broke, so I fixed it.

If it's a charity site will it be www.WhoGivesaCatsArse.com?

Nope, diffently not the only one to hear that. I've heard that (a version of it)a few times in my dev experiences. I also heard a version of it back in the day when I was on helpdesk for an american ISP "Do you have a modem in an off white?it clashes with my home décor ( kid you not. ACTUAL call). Clients / users are amusing.

Many years ago the team here worked on a new system, it was meeting a massive need in the business, it was technically brilliant, it was to revolutionise many, many things. They gave a demo of it to senior management, excited for the reception it was to receive. The only comment they got back. "It's too blue".
“I believe that there is an equality to all humanity. We all suck.” Bill Hicks
I once got a comment from management "Make those greenish buttons more grey; in fact cut out the green altogether and just have them grey... you can leave the red buttons alone I suppose". Yes, you guessed it! Green buttons for "Go ahead and do it" and red buttons for "Stop! Don't do it.". Then we had grey for yes and red for no, (and grey for non-available options as well - really clear). At the next review they decided to change the red to grey as well since it was the only coloured button. And then at the next review they complained that there wasn't enough distinction amongst the button with just the text and we should put some colour in there....GAAAAAAH! Boy, am I glad I don't work there anymore.

Worked at a place that would use three people to take data manually. I created a computer program to use one person, so they said I was not needed.
