@Rahul Had fun yesterday. Put 30 databases offline and turned my head to the support queue to see if someone actually used them and couldn't access them. Kind of Management by Recovery ;-)
I had to bottle feed, and they sleep a lot more at night because of that.
In the first week I did have a moment where she wouldn't stop crying and I was holding her, then her dad, then when nothing worked we just put her down on the bed, looked at each other, and said "What now?"
To be honest she's sleeping OK at night. It's the daytimes that are the trouble. Doesn't feed enough in one go, has to feed every 2 hours and complains the whole time, so it's quite stressful for mum.
I get to go to work though. Luckily I get home in the evening when the colic is kicking in! It's all fun and games in my house at the moment!
I'm sure your little girl will be fine in her two's. Plus, you'll have the joy of a newborn and a twoyear old running around at the same time!
It's tricky enough trying to look after one baby and stop the cats from 'investigating' her cot / rocker / changing bag etc all day. I think having an actual child around while looking after the baby would make me crazy.
Is there any UI/UX example when change a "Title" or something. It will warn you that changing the Title, will update the title from another categories too. Something like that?
If that works. Ours went crazy when restraining her arms in any way
The problem with the dancing is that it became a reflex whenever there was music and I was standing still. So then i'd be in a supermarket and find myself doing some funky hip movements to the music.
@I'll-Be-Back OK, I got you. But no, I don't know of any examples off the top of my head I'm afraid. Maybe look into some CMS sites? Seems like something that'd come up there.
@Franchesca How did you cope with being alone with the baby all day? I've done it a few times when everyone else was gone for a day, and it was quite frustrating not being able to go to the toilet or make food. I'm sure there are tricks that I'm missing.
@JonW No worries, I will look around. Same product can be applied more than one category. At later stage if a staff want to change the title, maybe some kind of option like only apply in this category and do not update to other categories too. Give staff more flexibility.
@JohnGB Yes, tips on this'd be good! Wife is off getting hair appointment on Saturday so I'm left all alone with baby for most of the day. Am I allowed to lock her in the shed for several hours?
@JohnGB Coping with being alone all day involves getting used to drinking cold coffee, and accepting that sometimes you just have to leave them crying for a while so you can do something essential for you. If I was in the shower and she woke up, that was just tough. Jumping immediately to respond in some situations just left me feeling more stressed in the long run.
I think the society is really messed up. A lot of people spending too much time on the screen (mobile, laptop, computer, ipad, etc) . It is really sad.
We did have some drama when they heard that we had no intention of baptising / christening the baby. I have a sneaky suspicion that they may have done something on one of the walks without telling us.
Oh, the mother of an ex of mine baptised her unbaptised grandchild, and her grandchild's Muslim half sister (no blood relation) as Catholics. According to Catholic mythology any baptised person can baptise someone else and it counts.
@I'll-Be-Back Complicated situation. The woman's son had a child (her granddaughter) with a woman who already had another child from a previous marriage. So she was not related to her grandaughter's half sister.
@Franchesca hi. I tried "priming the pump", so to speak a few months ago and nothing much came of it. I'm glad to see that it's being used.
I'm glad to see that "designing in the browser" is becoming more commonplace. I've been doing that for a while and getting a lot of funny looks for doing so. There's an interesting article in UIE.com -- uie.com/brainsparks/2015/01/28/…

This question, it's edits and the comments on every answer are kind of a huge mess, not entirely sure what to do with it
I closed it for now, not really sure it can be brought back (without a new question) without being a huge mess. Also thinking of purging all the comments for a fresh start but the damage is done
@BenBrocka It was borderline to me and brought in good traffic, so I left it. But I honestly can't see a way of improving it without re-doing most of it.
I know you just read the title, take a deep breath. I'll explain.
When should we make a conscious decision to retain poor UI, even if temporarily? Not because of budget or time constraints but because of what I call the QWERTY paradox.
In short, the QWERTY paradox is that users have a better e...
I almost posted it as a comment but I'm not really sure it's salvageable and it's not really a direct dupe (though I happen to reference QWERTY in my anwer)
A picture might help, I know what they mean now though, basically if you click the item in a list instead of the checkbox, it selects just that one item and deselects the rest
