Mighty Mouse

Posted on August 24th, 2006

All the UI gurus say that a good user interface should make the user feel in control. This firefox extension, Mouse Gestures, makes me feel mighty! Swish! You go back. Swosh! You go forward. Slash! That stupid image is gone.

Once you get the hang of it, you can draw a big ‘S’ to view source or an ‘M’ to see the meta-data but don’t try to learn them all at once.

Start simple. Swish, swosh and slash. Be mighty too!

Prediction from The Ministry of Truth (futures department)

Before the end of this year, the Bush administration will claim that the War in Iraq is nothing to do with the War on Terror and that no-one had ever claimed that success in Iraq was crucial to the War on Terror. The whole thing was made up by the sneaky liberal press to discredit the administration.

Bush will personally make this announcement in a Press Conference and he will use that condescending tone that says “Not only am I right, I have always been right and I don’t know why you are implying that I might have ever suggested otherwise” (like he did on Monday).

EE! AYE! ADIO! We’re gonna win the league!

Don’t be expecting these every week now - unless we stay on top :-)

Pos Team Pld W D L F A Diff Pts
1 Man. Utd. 2 2 0 0 8 1 7 6
2 Portsmouth 2 1 1 0 3 0 3 4
3 West Ham 2 1 1 0 4 2 2 4
7 Chelsea 2 1 0 1 4 2 2 3

I tried to put twenty quid on a ManU/Saha double at 66-1 but the mean old betting sites wouldn’t take my american money. I would be already counting my winnings about now!
