Dave & Fred,
I was little confused at why I was singled out as a "Firefox" user.
I am assuming this is a reference to one of the browsers I use.
Thing is, I don't normally use this browser when surfing Yahoo, so
how did Fred know I use this software? Is there some kind of privacy
violation going on here? What information is Fred's software
collecting about my PC, and sending back to Fred? Or is he for some
reason looking at TJ's Yahoo user logs, if that's at all possible?
That said, yes, thank you Fred for your help. I have to admit though
that having been a technical writer in the past, I could easily
rewrite your user documentation for the better. Not having used
software like Batman before (is there something out there already
resembling this?), I found the documentation written for users who
are familiar with that specific territory (same goes for IO,
actually). It is not written for users who are new to that specific
terrain. That said, I am finding it easier and less time consuming
to use other scripts to automate the simpler tasks that I need
automated.
Great, you wrote the software! It's free, too! Wonderful! But
remember it's completely useless to a large number of us who can't
read your mind. Please take that into consideration when writing
training materials for your own software. I know writing training
materials is not fun, it's a pain in the azz, but you gotta setp up
and do the right thing here.
Static screen shots of the software in action is no substitute for a
video tutorial such as those produced for AB, for example. Of
course, clear, step-by-steo written explanations are always very
helpful. Detailed explanations of what I am looking at as far as
screenshots is also very helpful.
Free does not always = perfectly usable. Let me be the first to lay
my neck on the line to say this. I do this not for the purpose of
making anyone feel bad. This is to motivate you very helpful
denizens of the AB world to go the extra mile so we can actually
understand how helpful you really are. If I can't use your software
because the documentation doesn't make the training time efficient,
I will never see you as the helpful person you probably are.
AB would clearly suck without clear documentation. Same goes for any
software that's not entirely intuitive to new users. If it doesn't
pass the monkey test, please don't think it's finished. Imagine
getting a 40-year-old woman on your 18th birthday, with no English
manual to go along with her! Pure frustration!!!
I have planted the seed of self-consciousness, which was my goal
here. I have nothing more to say on this topic. Read, digest, and
flame away...
Thanks for the great contributions, and keep on truckin',
Brian
