So Snooze Button Dreams is getting simpler. Yay!
How's it getting simpler, you ask? Well, the recent redesign (and follow up tweaks) have removed some stuff that wasn't necessary. Specifically, the comment and trackback pop-ups are gone. When you hit the comments link it opens the individual post archive page at the point where the comments start. Same thing with the trackback link. Those pop-ups were extra pages that had to be rebuilt whenever a comment was left (or a trackback, as the case may be). They weren't needed since that info is already on the individual archive page anyway.
Cool, eh? Can we make this an industry standard?
The Snooze Point Leaders have also been tightened up. The top 10 are always displayed. Other point holders are there in a collapsed list. Don't worry, all of the links still count for Ecosystem stuff.
Special thanks to Harvey for finding a problem with the way we had trackbacks working. Harvey gets a Snooze Point!
Points: 4 points to the first person to name the movie that this post's title came from. The points are higher for this one (it's usually 2 points) because it's a lousy movie that nobody probably saw. No searching, please. After 24 hours this will drop to 1 point and you'll be allowed to search for it.
If you'd like to be notified whenever a post goes up with points available, just put your email address in that box in the Snooze Points section of the sidebar and click on that little submit button.
Yay simplicity - oh and is the quote from the truly excelent Galaxy Quest?
I am both amazed and frightened that you knew that right off. Yes, it is from Galaxy Quest. 4 points for Rob!
Never give up! Never surrender!
It's got Sigorney Weaver in it - guaranteed to be etched on to my brain.
Plus I think Alan Rickman is hilarious (I played Richard the III you know) and it was the initial subject of a far too serious debate about the consequences of interstellar broadcast.
By Grabthar's hammer ... something something something
plus that makes up for me being asleep when you post most of your "point" winning posts
Son of a!.... Dammit, now I'm in SECOND PLACE! This is entirely unacceptable!

-"You're not gonna die on the planet, Guy. "
-"I'm not? Then what's my last name? "
-" It's, uh, uh---I don't know. "
-"Nobody knows. Do you know why? Because my character isn't important enough for a last name, because I'm gonna die five minutes in."
-"Guy, you have a last name."
-"DO I? DO I? For all you know, I'm "Crewman Number Six"!"
Maybe you should use the "Show Commnets"/"Hide Comments" javascript on your "collapsable" lists because they still don't work in Mozilla/Firefox.
Your in QA right?
Interesting idea. I wonder how well that would work...
The collapsable lists will never work in Mozilla/Firefox. The problem is a DHTML instruction that they don't respect.
Yes, I'm in QA. The thing is my company doesn't support the small distribution browsers. ;-)
HOORAY! A point! That would make me... let's see... mmmerermemmerm... DEAD ASS LAST!
Don't think of it as being dead ass last on the list, Harvey. Think of it as being ahead of everybody else in the world (apart from the other people on the list).
Last again
