I was whining at the Mad Austrian (my husband) for 2 years, since renovations we were doing meant that our clothesline had to go. Finally, we have a deck off our kitchen. And damn! – I wanted a place to hang our laundry out to dry. Finally, this past weekend….we found the clothesline of our dreams.
Our requirements:
- ability to hang more than one load of laundry at once (me)
- needed to look “not tacky” (the MA)
- nice-to-have: off the 2nd floor deck, up in the sunlight (me)
- ability to conceal it when not in use (MA)
Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you the Brabantia… I’ve tested it, too. A full load fills up approximately 1/3 of the line length. I tested a heavy area rug…didn’t fall off.
I like lost password flows…mainly because I have no memory. And I’m signed up to way too many sites.
casasugar.com (a member of the Sugar family of sites) impressed me…and then dropped the ball, I think.
- I do the “lost password” thing.
- I get an email with the typical link. Which I click on.
- Instead of getting the random password generated, Sugar logs me in directly with a one-time usage password.
I love the fact that they auto-logged me in. Love it. Wonderful. The message, though…needs some finesse-ing. And here’s where this would have been a home run for me…take me to my account page, so I can update my password. Or, at the very least make “change your password” a link, as a call to action.
That being said – I think there’s good experiences for different industries, too. Banking sites – Sugar’s process wouldn’t/shouldn’t work, no way. And don’t get me started on how stupid the WordPress lost password experience is.
