Forgive me, by the way, for not realising that your great joke on TEH INTARWEB was to put what does appear to be shitty code into a quiz that people are taking for fun and no other reason.
If you truly hate people that much to make this some kind of very large joke that about five percent of people will get, then I hope you got some satisfaction out of it. Unfortunately, I think you might need to try harder - perhaps by making the computers used to take your quizzes blow up. Most people that you've pointed this out to probably didn't get it until you did so, and it's so hard to get satisfaction out of that sort of "D'oh!" moment. After all, that sort of prank is usually only amusing if you actually know the people you've pranked - otherwise, you can assume that the people who've not noticed have the IQ of strained spinach and you've omg triumphed over them with your 1337 intarweb skillz, yo.
Or perhaps not. I don't create quizzes with humourously wrong results pictures, so maybe that's a lot of fun for you.
Yeah. I tend to get annoyed when people I don't know track me down to point out that there was irony intended in an internet quiz, especially since at first blush the error does really just look like shitty code. And given the number of comments I've got from people I've never heard of, I think that person brought friends.
No, they brought themselves. I didn't tell them to post anything. Actually I'd nearly prefer they didn't, and to avoid that I typically wouldn't share the link and only describe the situation without any identifying info...but I decided the blow-up was too entertaining to keep to myself.
Yeah, that sort of thing often happens when you post direct links. I posted your page, though, after I noticed that, so we'll see if the people I know can restrain themselves better. Also, in the most recent post of mine, there's an explanation for why those comment links don't show up in your screencap - namely, they're animated.
Or horrible CSS. Or, hell, Microsoft. Let's blame Microsoft. I think that works. They're black with a white animated outline, so depending on what browser you use, they won't show up. Of course, I like things that are evil, so I use IE and that works.
No. Because I figured it out before spinn stopped by to point out that it wasn't lazy code. But it doesn't really matter to me if you believe that or not. I'm well aware that the fact that I didn't blog it the instant I realised that the code was a joke makes it hard to prove that I did or did not realise it before spinn came around.
Those two posts are a great read. Such a contrast. It's like, "This is your Livejournal. This is your Livejournal on a PCP binge after a really bad breakup. Any questions?" You could use this as an anti-drug campaign poster.
