Starbucks posted:Desktop PCs which have sounds enabled in work Today I had to use a database frontend to update some information. I had to make 300 updates, so I wrote a macro to do it all from a CSV file. There are 2 dialogs that appear after each update (the "are you sure?" dialog and the "it worked" dialog, which is worth a gently caress-off of its own). With each dialog comes a PC speaker beep. So we're talking 600 beeps in the span of about an hour. With no loving way to disable the beep I had to find an unused room somewhere and hope there wasn't anything on the other side of it, since I didn't have the tools to open the case and rip the goddamn thing out. Seriously, who the gently caress designs this poo poo?

Midelne posted:Are you suggesting that someone might object to someone cracking open the case of a company workstation and cutting apparently random wires? I actually could probably get away with it, but like I said, no tools. Edit: Besides, my beef is with whoever designed that software to pop up 2 dialog boxes upon entering the data and deciding we need a loud beep to accompany them both. That's just going out of your way to not think about usability. nmg fucked around with this message at Apr 15, 2009 around 22:28 |

I just had a dream about Lotus Notes and it reminded me how much I loving hate it in every way. I haven't even used it in months, but it's like there's a special part of my brain dedicated to hating Lotus Notes. Mental illness or is Lotus Notes truly the worst thing ever to happen to the world? I don't know, but I know some people will agree with me.
