Doctor Who and the Time Fence

How do you keep Doctor Who out of your room?  You put up a time fence!  I have less of an issue with the fact that the room is only available during a certain time span than I do with the fact that I had to go through the entire room reservation wizard with recurrence settings in order to get an error message that basically told me to start over!  My poor UI design moment of the day.

Where to find job training at Supervalu

I seem to remember that Supervalu was offshoring a significant portion of its computer programming staff.  Perhaps that explains why their website doesn't even support some basic clicks.  Unfortunately, it looks like they can't train themselves to fix it, because the training resources are 404.

Fortunately, the benefits are commensurate with the necessary web skillz.

Unsubscribe II

Think Progress has a different trick to keep me from unsubscribing.  They forget the // and create a malformed href so I can't click it.

And if you grab the URL, stuff in your own //, and drop it in the URL bar, you go here:

Unsubscribe

I've been on a kick to unsubscribe myself from a lot of email lately.  One less thing to declutter and I only worry about the ones that make it into my inbox, not the spam box garbage.  This unsubscribe form was particularly enjoyable because, after clicking the submit button once, it disabled the required field for unsubscribing myself.  So either Apsalar is very clever, and they're actively working to stop me from unsubscribing while appearing compliant, or they've got an incredibly obvious bug that should have never slipped past testing.  Leading to the question, "Why would I trust any other software I might be interested in purchasing from them given such an obvious bug in such a simple web form?"  Perhaps they've rightly intuited that my unsubscribe is a tacit statement on my part that I don't intend to buy in the foreseeable future and I may be fucked with at will.
