Fark.com’s New Design Thursday, Apr 26 2007

So Fark redesigned yesterday, much to my dismay. But instead of needlessly whining about how much it sucks and how the admins handled the situation almost as bad as FEMA handled Katrina, I wrote a Greasemonkey script to get rid of the useless right column, and to center the main column (as it was before). WordPress.com won’t let me upload .js files, so I’ll just post the content here:

// ==UserScript==
// @name Fix Fark
// @namespace http://fark.com/
// @description Gets ride of side column and centers main column
// @include http://www.fark.com/*
// @include http://*.fark.com/*
// ==/UserScript==
(function () {
document.getElementById("bodyRightSideContainer").style.display="none";
document.getElementById("bodyMainContainer").style.marginLeft='15%';
})();

Forced Diversity Sunday, Apr 22 2007

I was a little alarmed by this recent post by Zeldman. He found that women are underrepresented in Web Design Industry, but he (and others) are making way too big of a deal out of this. Why is it so hard to accept that maybe men are more drawn to certain work fields than women are? Why must everything be exactly equal among men and women?

I intensely dislike this idea of “forced diversity”. It’s the same line of thinking that has given us affirmative action. Ideas like this are exactly the reasons that Liberals are not more powerful. More common sense, please.
