    website which implored me to "Log in!" Such effusiveness made me much less enthusiastic about doing so. If the user experience is that bad, the code must be horrible.

    To me the message that gets conveyed is that the developer of said login feature was surprised he got it working at all, and just felt like sharing.

      Real talk, my mom used to always let go of the shift key when using exclamation marks and did that on accident. So, I spent several years doing that intentionally everywhere, as a joke. :-\

      ...and then there's the meme where someone will actually spell out "one" in the middle of one of those, as if it could happen by accident. OMG!!!!1!!one!!

        As of today, I would call it full daylight from around 08:00 to around 16:00. That is in middle Norway, at 63°N. Norway spans from roughly 58 to 71 degrees, so it varies greatly. We do not have midnight sun in summer where I live! (That is only north of 66°33'N.) One significant difference from places further south: We have extremely long dawn and evening hours (the plural 's' in 'hours' is significant!). So you can never really tell the exact start and end of the day. You can of course go by sunrise/sunset, but it is light long before and long after, enough to read the newspaper without using artificial light. (News_paper_, that is! News webpages are readable even in pitch darkness :-).)

          :-) I wrote that message at 02:00 at night; I wasn't completely awake.

              Is it just me or is it time to have an intervention and get everyone to stop placing exclamation marks after every status update. "Error occurred!", "Update complete!", "You pressed a button!!!1!". Enough. Please!

              cheers Chris Maunder

                    Done. And the magic of Git allows me to cast a dirty look in the appropriate direction (even though it's been starting me in the face for 10 years now, so I do have to share the blame)
