notes.husk.org. scribblings by Paul Mison.

At first, I didn’t really care about fixoutlook.org. Then I was slightly annoyed by Dave Cross tilting at the old windmills. Then I actually read Joe Clark’s evisceration of the campaign (via), and I realised I’m an old-timer who can be persuade to tilt at windmills too.

I mean, is it really coincidence that the time that email stopped being useful is the same as the time that hordes of users via Outlook (and Outlook Express, or whatever the cut-down consumer version that Microsoft deign to include in some Windows versions is branded as this year) started using it? Maybe. But it’s fun to think it’s not.

Meanwhile, I looked at the site itself, and as well as noticing that what seemed like half the usericons haven’t got off the last bandwagon yet, it was impossible to miss that it’s JavaScript is written badly enough to make Safari cry (see screenshot). Oh, and any campaign that tries to communicate with Microsoft via the medium of, er, Twitter? Right. OK. Well, I post privately there, so I suppose I’m not allowed to be part of your club. Never mind. Didn’t fancy joining.
