my downeaster ilxor (Neanderthal), Monday, 13 June 2011 11:53 (fifteen years ago)

- "This page is in foreign, would you like to translate it? Translate | Nope"

This shit irks me - like we're to think Google aren't a huge corporation but just a bunch of friendly IT dudes who say "nope" instead of "no".

blood on this hand (onimo), Monday, 13 June 2011 11:55 (fifteen years ago)

that Google feature where it searches as you type irks me too. because it slows everything the fuck down. yea I know you can turn it off but god is it annoying!

my downeaster ilxor (Neanderthal), Monday, 13 June 2011 11:56 (fifteen years ago)

"This page is in foreign, would you like to translate it? Translate | Nope"

.. also

Mark G, Monday, 13 June 2011 11:57 (fifteen years ago)

I said "foreign" - Google says whatever language the page is in.

blood on this hand (onimo), Monday, 13 June 2011 12:01 (fifteen years ago)

It's a useful function. The matey "nope" is stupid.

blood on this hand (onimo), Monday, 13 June 2011 12:02 (fifteen years ago)

I like the search as you type thing (you can turn off that feature, you know), but what I can't stand is when the search results page overrides my keyboard shortcuts, including page up/down and scrolling with the arrow keys. It doesn't do it every time, and I can't figure out what makes it happen when it does.

Jesse, Monday, 13 June 2011 12:11 (fifteen years ago)

It is a useful. Sorry, the 'foreign' seemed bad if it was Google doing it, (fair enough) if it was your subst.

Mark G, Monday, 13 June 2011 12:12 (fifteen years ago)

Re: the scrolling. The up/down arrow keys allow you to select through the search result.

Chewshabadoo, Monday, 13 June 2011 12:19 (fifteen years ago)

^ ia over that too - I want my down key to scroll the page but I have to sign out of google for that

that littel heart thing <3 really looks to me like a scrotum on its side

coffeetripperspillerslyricmakeruppers (Latham Green), Monday, 13 June 2011 12:24 (fifteen years ago)

I know what arrow keys do, but I don't want them to do that! And it only does it sometimes, which is annoying.

Jesse, Monday, 13 June 2011 12:27 (fifteen years ago)

Google Chrome crashed yesterday and I got abt 6 popup messageboxes going "Whoa! Google Chrome has crashed" (I forget the wording but it definitely started with "Whoa!")

and yeah, I don't like the new Google interface, because:
- up+down arrows not scrolling = confusing
(I use a laptop with no scrollwheel and like to scroll in smaller increments than PgUp/PgDn, because on a screen of 10 Google results PgDn hits the bottom and it's hard to find where you've already read up to)
- I'm in the habit of hitting "backspace" for back, but this obv no longer goes back, but deletes the last key of the search term and then searches again, losing the real search results
- in fact it completely fucks up the whole concept of back/forwards, if you search for something and then change your search term the original search is not in your browser history

My old roommate is a cog in the google machine nowadays. fwiw, friendly IT type who says nope instead of no, is pretty accurate.

Only after I get Zac one first. (we hear that there's an office not too far from here that's looking for people) I did get some free swag tho. M especially likes to chew on the google hackysack.

Kim, Monday, 13 June 2011 15:40 (fifteen years ago)

I like that Google will do that drop-down.

The number of times I need to check an album title and this means I don't have to click "Search" to do it...

Mark G, Monday, 13 June 2011 15:45 (fifteen years ago)

I don't think "aw, snap" means what they think it does

40% chill and 100% negative (Tracer Hand), Monday, 13 June 2011 15:52 (fifteen years ago)

I use "Oh snap" that way. I picked it up from some girls who used to work for me.

Jesse, Monday, 13 June 2011 16:02 (fifteen years ago)

Meaning "I am so sorry, I just really fucked up, I didn't mean to" ??

40% chill and 100% negative (Tracer Hand), Monday, 13 June 2011 16:05 (fifteen years ago)

I picked up Oh Snap from bizmarkie!

Currently IA at attorneys who don't know what leading questions are and who therefore pitch a misplaced fit every time they draw a leading objection.

coffeetripperspillerslyricmakeruppers (Latham Green), Monday, 13 June 2011 17:22 (fifteen years ago)

Tracer: "Oh snap" as a pretty general purpose exclamation to indicate surprise or jovial dismay or disbelief. Or as a synonym for "Oops!"

Jesse, Monday, 13 June 2011 18:03 (fifteen years ago)

there are two 'lounge's at work which are really just small enclosed rooms with a small bed for people to lie down on if they're sick or exhausted or whatnot.

anywho, you'd think grown adults could master both stifling tasks as A. shutting and locking the door and B. moving the placard from "Vacant" to "In Use" when they've occupied the room, but on two occasions today I almost entered a room someone was sleeping in because they either left the door wide open, or didn't lock it AND had the placard in the "Vacant" setting.

oh well, not as bad as walking in on someone on the toilet....

'or whatnot' doing a lot of work there

ledge, Monday, 13 June 2011 22:39 (fifteen years ago)

i mean lounge for napping at work = lol/awesome. unless you actually work an ER or somewhere else highly traumatic and dangerous where sickness and exhaustion might be common or excusable...
