Well, damn. Now I notice that a video is mandatory. And it has to be on Youku (is that a Chinese site?) or on You(are being watched by Google-land Security)Tube. I can make a video, sure. But I'm not making a Google account. And it's a bit late to ask someone else to do it, since it's near midnight on the 19th now. Oh well.

Disappointment-induced ranting:

Is it just me, or is HackADay having an unhealthy relationship with Google? These pages seem to work best in Chrome. Chrome translations are often mentioned. And there are a few very conspicuous bugs visible when viewing the IO pages on Firefox. Like, say, the images are cropped a lot in the project view. My PCB photo seems to be... uhh... vibrating? Shaking? Glitching positionally by a few pixels? And if I decrease window width to any less than 800 pixels, then the image thumbnails move and stretch to fill the window. Overall website execution points to a competent engineer, so the only remainingexplanation is that it wasn't tested with all browsers. Perhaps not even with two.
