Leave Your Name and a Brief Message
OK, I’ve added a place to enter your name when you send me
a message. This is user testing in action for you: I had assumed
that people would realize that there would be no way for me to
know who they were if they didn’t identify themselves as part
of their message. Turns out that I was completely wrong.
Nobody ever says who they are. That hadn’t been a problem ’till
today, as I’ve been able to guess the source of message from
its context.
But today I’ve recieved two mysterious requests that I change
the FTP timeout on this server. I don’t have a problem with changing
it, but before I do I’d like to know who wants me to, and why.
So whoever you are, send that message again! And fill in the
“Your Name” box.
