Tonight we get a clip from the end of Dave Tennant's tenure in the TARDIS. Is it really only November 2005 when Children In Need featured a special scene bridging "The Parting Of The Ways" and "The Christmas Invasion"?

One thing that I think the modular personalised BBC homepage lacks is the ability to reflect zeitgeisty events. Children In Need might irritate a lot of people with forced joviality, but I rather liked the fact that the BBC site used to smack you round the face that it was on. Having one tab with a picture of Terry Wogan isn't quite the same somehow.

"The defining characteristic of a password field is that it abstracts text as dots. While the intention of this behavior is understandable (it makes users feel secure and protects from prying eyes), the unintended effect is that it creates a usability problem. Users can't tell if they've entered a password incorrectly until after the site's validation informs them. It's like typing with your eyes closed".

Thoughts on how to make the "Login with my existing account" and "Sign up for a brand new account" more usable.

"Here's an idea for an advert - what do you f***ing sell and what does it f***ing cost?" ROFL
