Sourceforge Annoyances

That site gets worse and worse. I can live with the fact that corporate IT departments can behave like petit-Hilters with their ridiculous password policies, but now SF has started to do the same. For fuck’s sake, just let me pick a password and keep it, it’s not like the world is going to end if somebody gets my SF login details.

Layout

Hmmm, I need to something about the site layout if I’m going to include images like that.

I’ve just been looking at getting a copy of the newly released Cocoa Programming 3rd Edition (tip o’ the hat to Scott Stevenson) and, as the link from there is to the U.S. Amazon site I saw the price there,

amazon.com

then going to my local U.K. based Amazon page to place an order and,

amazon.co.uk

well, what the fuck is that all about exactly? Check out the conversion rates

Wednesday, May 21, 2008 28.79 British Pound = 57.526 US Dollar 28.79 US Dollar (USD) = 14.991 British Pound (GBP) Interbank rate +/- 2%

That’s getting on for sixty bucks! almost twice the price of the US site. That’s just fucking ridiculous.
