Holy 1997, that's an ugly webpage.
- chris_wot 14y agoYou know, Wodehouse would have put that much better.
- ableal 14y ago“She fitted into my biggest arm-chair as if it had been built round her by someone who knew they were wearing arm-chairs tight about the hips that season.” There's also the litmus test of the Wodehouse phrase: "The unpleasant, acrid smell of burnt poetry." Quotes filched, after a short search, from http://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/7963.P_G_Wodehouse http://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/7963.P_G_Wodehouse , which holds some pages of good ones. Unfortunately, a few are poorly sourced and look like cuckoo eggs to me.
- aw3c2 14y agoFor me the HTML has loaded in 400ms, the three images after ~700ms. The text has nice contrast and a nice site. You could argue about the centering though. There are no distractions, you can read the text in calmness. I like that! In comparison I opened a random nytimes article from its frontpage: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/27/us/politics/secret-donors-finance-fight-against-hagel.html?hp&_r=0 http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/27/us/politics/secret-donors-... It took 4 seconds until the text was even shown and the site did not stop loading until 12s after I started. And now it seems to send a heartbeat every 60s to some tracker to tell it that I am still on the page.
