xeyecle - product stuff

The year was a while ago. It's so far back you don't even mention it on your résumé... But it was life changing, foundational.  These were the restaurant years. First job, second job, third job (opening the place)... All food service, in store dining, when the only thing you could get delivered was a pizza. All the learning.  I'd go to school, work at the restaurant (and a call center), climb some, and do it all again.  For seven years. Restaurants were my first Product. My job was my first Product. Iterating how to clean a table better (KPIs*? Time, customer satisfaction, server satisfaction, tips, wasted water, glasses poured, dishes broken)... Then I got into helping improve other parts of the business, leading the teams... Trying out (testing) different ways we could streaming this that or the other. Then Aloha computer systems came in, and boy was that a fun day. They're still around! Seemingly the same, but presumably a different back end... But someon...

First it seemingly comes down to the fit of a mask.... if there is leakage, then it's not going to matter. (See: Nathan will rock a goatee/no beard) - sizing tool: https://cambridgemask.com/fitting-your-mask/ Vogmask and Cambridge (both ~$30) both seem like great companies, both using Nelson Labs for their testing (one of the tests happened out on Redwood Road) - with good results. ~Six months life span on each. As for more disposable... 3M may be less expensive, and as effective. Less pretty tho. ($3 each for the 9211+ or 9332+) IQAir has remarkable products, too, and they're around $7 (when buying 10) or... $5 (when buying 100).

This conversation starts with a perspective I hold:  Things shouldn't move around. In short Slack app has two things that breaks the above rule : Unread Messages and Drafts Please implement the story at the bottom of this ramble - essentially: Don't move my channels or direct messages if there are drafts or new messages, please. 

Hi. One of the biggest items I've always struggled with Trello was when editing/adding, etc - AND I dumbly click outside the text window, all my work will disappear... and it's heartbreaking.  This, too, happens when i click ` esc`  twice instead of one when having done a right click... again, heartbreaking and entirely my fault... but... BUT... Imagine this story:: As a user that has dumbly clicked away from an unsaved field, I would like to have trello save me time and prevent me from myself by prompting me: "You are navigating away will lose changes - SAVE or Discard or Continue Editing?"  .... which, will save, drop previous changes, or go back to the text screen.... Someone's god bless whoever makes this a prioritized reality- N   (Atlassian, I'm coming for you)

In short HTTP to HTTPS redirects aren't always configured. Solution options: Browsers should change resolving to HTTPS first, when unspecified! perhaps then attempting HTTP as a fallback. #upForDiscussion Chrome extensions that : " As a browser that has received a failed HTTP response (ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE*), I would like myself (the browser) to resolve to try the same path with a secure path instead (HTTPS), so that my pages that don't have an apache redirect to HTTPS will work without my banging my head on the wall. " In longer Many systems today use (and should use!) HTTPS for web communication.  The browsers today, though, still try attempt HTTP first when resolving a request for, say, www.xeyecle.com...  but *sometimes* there are servers out there that don't have a REWRITE condition on their servers, nor a 301 redirect at the Nginx web server level...  and sometimes the groups that own these items are <insert legitimate, rude, or ignora...

Behold - the double preview! Solution Look for duplicate content in the og:title, og:description and prevent double posting or, simpler yet: Only create a Link Previews for the first url in a message.  More on this topic yesterday - https://www.xeyecle.com/2018/07/zoom-url-previews-in-slack-guide-to.html 

In short Companies should care about how URL previews look. Specifically Zoom should update their /{letter}/ meeting URLs to have concise 'meta og:description' properties and horizontally-rectangle 'og:image' assets, so that Slack users (or just me) are happier. before | after In longer ~319px height preview Slack has a feature that I've contemplated quite a bit, both internally with colleagues and with my own thoughts. The feature is Link Previews , which build a preview of a URL (if publicly available*) so that folks can see what they may be clicking on (or not!). Other sites do it too, like Facebook. Anyhow, while I like this feature overall, there are some companies that don't (know to) manage this for the ever expanding 8MM active daily users of Slack**.  I emphasize FOR these users, because they indeed are a powerful usergroup whose use case is important. The example that was the catalyst for my writing this is Zoom . Zoom, i...
