One Year Later: What we love & hate

[app103]

July 19, 2006:

After reading this humorous list of what digg users love & hate, I decided to find out what it is that the members here at Donation Coder love & hate.

We love: Windows Explorer Process Tamer Maxthon autostitch the Coderman site the idea the community AutoHotkey word games reading these reviews where the so called "Opera fans" have to resort to insulting a user Lifehacker Genie Backup Manager feeling vindicated my webhost that feature articles like these reading ebooks this guy's sense of humor their simplicity and approach to disseminating content win key to download and try software needlessly complicated terms glitter how you can drag it around *nix trees custom sounds if someone would do that kind of hard work for me and write up what they think the differences are, pro and con visualisation techniques old games computers

We hate: snoops CSS having to save the image the whole concept of marketing having to go to each merchant's site to track each individual purchase paint Linux MS receiving a canned response that doesn't even remotely address my problem from a company whose software I paid for desktop icons This Key Deluxe Edition those keys programs that freak out and dont offer you a way to override people with neat ideas when people quote stats like this haiku advertising to admit it installing the logitech drivers the ribbon 5 star reviews that say nothing more than "The best", "Nothing beats it" to imagine what it was like before that the sound of your voice when I hit a web site with a loud midi background theme at 2 AM and wake up everybody in the house

This was only from the first page.

Very strange that Cody didn't make the love list.

Cool idea!
(lots of work to you, though )
I'm also astonished how nobody ever said "i love cody" here on dc!

Aren't we a silly bunch. We love *nix but we hate Linux. I don't know if we even know what we love or hate.
There's allot of stuff in that list that I'd switch around tho, that's for sure, but that's just me

I hate lifehacker with a passion for example, I dunno why, I get this big yuppy-alert vibe from it Maybe I just don't like them telling me how unorganised I am

hehe, that one's funny,..

We hate:

when people quote stats like this

[Edvard]

Whats the script that does that?

We love *nix but we hate Linux.

I caught that too...

Stat scripts can be fun, for example Homokaasu's Gematriculator says donationcoder.com is 35% evil and 65% good.

How in the heck can you forget Coding and Snacks for things we love?

[mouser]

what i want to know is..
how long will it take before Cody has his own website?

[Josh]

www.codygonewild.com!

Wow, who knew you could capsulate all that in one post! You know, it would be cool to take photos of cody dolls from all around the world...

— Cody facing off against a St. Louis Cardinal
— Cody skinny dipping with Salma Hayek (or Orlando Bloom)

It is exactly one year later, to the day, since I originally started this thread.

I thought it would be fun to see how much things have changed since then.

New things:

We love: SuperCopier collectorz.com's applications Jesus Coding in C++Builder the maverick attitude in the RkUnhook help file Colorado lots of customization FARR buying... well, everything on eBay pocket watches criticism Opera to troubleshoot Tuffmail using WordPerfect Canon scanners making juice drinks my student id google webapps Easter Islands statues DC mugs its content capture facilities this program people making bold claims without making any reference to which platform they tested it on this game being able to customize stuff to know about other cultures, countries and people from outside my little circle to point out how greedy and awful Microsoft can be Editpad Pro EverNote that there is also "JABOD" the fact that you can select options on one tab and move to another and set more without resetting the previous the Bulk Rename Utility

We hate: draggable toolbars amatuer porn rebooting Photoshop's UI throwing anything away inputting data probabilities Norton talking on the phone Apple/Mac mean people most typography on the web being 15 to see them fight like that proprietary shit when people do that that big-ass PATA cable coding Adobe and all their programs to disagree dead space on stage systems golf .NET apps to continue to rely upon it having to hunt down where an application stores its various parts and pieces adopey stuff when the small devs get pirated to create Backup to travel for each category or list trying to find that station to throw that money out of the window to miss the discount

Things that didn't change:

We still love: Process Tamer this idea

We still hate: paint the idea of canned responses having a desktop full of shortcuts

This is still only using the first page, just like before.

Very strange that Cody still didn't make the love list....again!  

Speaking of Cody...

what i want to know is..
how long will it take before Cody has his own website?

Stat scripts can be fun, for example Homokaasu's Gematriculator says donationcoder.com is 35% evil and 65% good.

We are now 30% evil, 70% good. We get better with age.
