Silly web 2.0 application
Sometimes people climb mountains because it’s cool. I can understand that.
Now ajax and web 2.0 is cool. So this ajax whois service wants to be web 2.0. In order to be web 2.0 it must be simple and things must be fetched asynchronously. The service is also using the captha technique – ajaxified. A service as basic as this, with only a search field, should allow the user to click “search” or “go” or whatever. Oh no. That’s not cool. Instead you have to wait for the forms to decide that you are finished typing. So stupid. If you are too slow with the captha form it is submitted anyway and then you have to start over again as the input field is cleared.
Just because something can be done doesn’t necessarily mean it is a good idea.
As a side note my wysiwyg editor, FireEditor, is coming along nicely. It’ll soon be ready for a first release. As soon as the extension api is stable. It’ll be copyrighted to my Swedish company Mesh but under a free/gratis license.
