I think it was inside based on this excerpt: “Opening Ghost’s package, purchasers would discover a handy information sheet that today gives us a sense of how some underground purveyors understood and promoted their wares.”

I use the 40 watt “appliance bulb” incandescents that you can still get when feasible - like in my small office. But they only work for certain situations- hard to fully light a room on 40 watt bulbs, but for accent lighting they are great.

Just attended what I guess was the last conference a couple of weeks ago in SF. Attendance was about 250. It was a solid group of speakers, and yes, front end/ux centric, but not limited to that. Unfortunately I got covid on the trip, and then gave it to my wife and 7 year old, which essentially took us all out for the holiday.

Ticketmaster could have done everyone a huge favor by simply staggering the sales for separate dates a bit and not trying to sell tix for every show all at once.

I once had a business owner put forth a similar contract after they had purchased the company where I was employed for a few years. I refused to sign (I was only one out of 60 or so employees that did so). The "accountant" told me I would never work in California again as all companies were moving in this direction. I'm still employed in CA, however, that company no longer exists. :).

Very sad to hear. You are a strong fellow for putting things out there in such a public way, I am sure you have helped many deal with their own struggles.

For any UI that has long running power users, however complicated, the users will over time memorize how the screens look and operate. It doesn't matter how 'intuitive' the redesign is because you will have broken their rote patterns - and the user has to rethink how they use the software, often at every turn. In the high paced environment of a call center this is simply untenable.
