Links done in JavaScript. I mean, <a href="http://foo"> works for everybody, everytime. But no, smart arsed "Web Developers" have to justify their salary by making it more complicated. And URLs the length of your arm that look like some sort of unified field theory equation.

Yes, I am reading the Belfast Telegraph Jobfinder page.

I think that most sites are built to impress the person buying them, and most people buying web sites are too easily impressed by teeny fonts, trendy colours and needless movement. This means something that works well or, heaven forbid, works better than specified is a rare thing (it being appreciated from 'on high' is an even rarer thing).

Hence a lot of web sites end up being like a Vauxhall Corsa in Bangor, on a Sunday evening, lots of useless plastic with nothing of substance underneath.

Yeah, that is pissing me off too. Not that I am reading the jobfinder site, but I have come across several sites lately that have used those annoyting things. BT comes to mind.

I’d say 99% of recruitment/jobfindery sites in NI were built by a retard. Built without any regard for the end user whatsoever.

Yeah I agree especially grafton. ;-)

Wasn’t the grafton site built by someone with a Bad Attitude™?

    Does exactly what it says on the (comic book) tin. Loved it.
  • Little Miss Sunshinerating
    Very funny, disturbing (the beauty pageant) and completely messed up -- but in a good way.
  • Laputa: Castle in the Skyrating
    Story great, characterization a little on the weak side -- though the big robots are cool.
  • Porco Rossorating
    Stylish, funny, exciting.
  • Grave of the Firefliesrating
    Very sad, which was a little unexpected since I didn't know much about it before watching it. Can be a little too slow in places though, otherwise it's very good.
  • Nausicaä of the Valley of the Windrating
    The story can get a little dense at times what with the various factions, but still really enjoyable, inventive and engaging.
  • X-Men: The Last Standrating
    Opportunity, talent, money - all blown. Over 3 films X-Men has hinted of something great that could have been, this last one says "No, sorry - not going to happen". Bah.
