Ninja Buttons and Numeric Deception · 4:43am Mar 3rd, 2015
These are some rather interesting, even entertaining things I’d like to take the time to point out and mention.
Firstly is the Ninja Youtube Button.
Recently I was talking to a good friend on here about music, and wanted to share a video to a song. Now since I wanted to take out the middleman of forcing her to go to the page, I wanted to post the video in the message like I've seen done so many times. The problem? There was no button to do this… or so first I thought.
That is a screenshot taken during the conversation, showing my elusive button friend. Turns out the button is there, but is only 2 pixels tall, and 18 pixels wide.
The Numeric Deception.
Although I doubt it was noticed by many, my blog link used to say that I had a single blog post, but clicking on it before now would have led you to relatively blank page without a blog.
Similarly, when I purged my favorites list back during the implementation of the library system—I had been using it like a read-it-later list—I discovered that my favorites list was off on its count. Some of the stories had been deleted, but still appeared in the compact version of the favorites display. It seems they eventually purged these names from the system, so now it just shows me that there is a single story in my favorites, with no name, and no words.
The image below was compiled on the 1st of March, and kind of shows what I mean.
Oh the joys of buggy coding.
