David is an occasional blogger, software engineer, Nintendo fanboy, liberal, news magazine addict, voracious TiVo user, and bibliophile. He was born in St. Louis, grew up in southern Indiana, and returned to St. Louis to attend Washington University. He hasn't managed to escape yet. He's a fan of free wine tastings, too many tv shows to name, and eating out. David makes his living developing web applications used internally by his employer. He doesn't blog about work because he's heard too many stories about that causing workplace troubles. There's more on the about page. |

They installed new copy machines at work and now everyone I see with printouts has them stapled in the wrong corner. This is, I'm guessing, a by-product of the new copiers' non-graphical interface. Previously, you would select a little icon indicating which corner you wanted to have the staples in. Now, you have to select one of the following four options: left forward, left rear, right forward, right rear. The left and right part is easy enough to figure out, but correlating forward and rear to the bottom and top of the pages (or is it the top and bottom?) doesn't make a lot of sense. A lot of my colleagues have decided to pass on the automatic copying because of this confusion. And perhaps that's what the Xerox people wanted, since each copier came with a manual stapler Velcroed to each machine's work surface.
