A story of online banking #fail
Last week, I needed to check the opening time of a local bank branch, so I went to the “Branch Finder” section of their website, entered a postcode, and hit Search.
That wasn’t good - not only did I not get a map, but I didn’t get any text results either.
I raised a complaint with the bank, via their contact form, and pasted the text of the Google Maps error.
They replied to say “it looks like you are using Google to find our branch… please use our branch finder instead” *facepalm* … no kidding.
I responded that no, I *was* using their site, and here is a screenshot to prove it.
So - want to know why this is happening? It turns out that it works fine on an HTTP URL, but not when using HTTPS. Admittedly I do use the HTTPS Everywhere extension for Firefox… but… *sigh*
What an awesome username :-)

præclarum: A Two-year-old Bug Found by Microsoft
I submitted the Windows Phone 7 version of iCircuit to Microsoft a few days ago and was shocked (shocked!) that it failed certification by their testers.
I was in denial, how could this be? The engine is two years old, and, while it has issues, is very stable on a variety of platforms. Add to…
It’s a social media death spiral
