Notification of Burial by Yarra Plenty Regional Library Local History

1

Army form with personal details filled in dated February 13, 1919 notifying next of kin of the burial location of Corporal H. W. Steffan of the Royal Field Artillery in St Aubert Cemetery, east of Cambrai, [France]

“It is quite chilling to contemplate the printing presses of His Majesty’s Stationery Office (HMSO) churning out hundreds of thousands of these blank forms, to be brown-paper-parcelled in reams and transported to stationery stores and on to stationery cupboards and thence to scores of desks where clerks wielded their pens.

Army Form B. 104-82 beginning with the phrase, ‘It is my painful duty’ brought news of death with the name, number, rank, regiment, where and when being handwritten.

“There followed a printed paragraph of His Majesty’s appreciation, etc; and the final paragraph made mention of future notice of burial arrangements. On the reverse was a two-paragraph notice relating to the handling of personal effects.

“That devastating letter came in an envelope. Army Form B. 104-121 did not. Its dotted lines carried information about the burial location. On the reverse, it had printed marks to guide the clerk as he folded it in three. The centre panel was printed with On His Majesty’s Service, a round Official Paid stamp, and dotted lines for the address of the next of kin.”

My favorite part of using Mint.com is the email notification you get when money gets deposited in your account. It used to read "Cha-ching! You've got cash!" which just makes you feel so happy.

Looks like the email copy's been rewritten, and it's a big boring bummer.

Hey Mint, don't let Quicken get to you!

MeaninglessUrUXSux When You Literally Repeatedly Send Meaningless Notifications - IMRAN™ by IMRAN® 14 MILLION Views!

UrUXSux When You Literally Repeatedly Send Meaningless Notifications - IMRAN™

I opine regularly about User Experience and Customer Experiences for almost 20 years. I love speaking at CX/UX conferences. LONG ago, I even started #UrUXSux on the platform that is now unusable and called X.

I still have thousands of screenshots to share from hundreds of companies, orgs, sites, and real world photos of places/signs, and more. Some are at the page I created for it at: "CustomerExperience UserExperience UserInterface Design Aren't Rocket Science!" linked in the comment below. The idea is not to insult but to highlight the ways UX/CX/UI still seem to be secondary thoughts or completely missing in the product or service or site design.

To be fair I do not exclude anyone. That includes companies like my own employer, or companies it owns, like this platform and others. Since its acquisition by Microsoft, LinkedIn UX has gotten less-crappy (I still cannot call it good) over the years, but some of it is still weirdly bad.

For example, meaningless repetition of notifications of the same useless info -- literally within the same hour - is one frequent example on LinkedIn. As you can see, I was notified that 36 people (why that weird number?) saw my post. Not that there was any engagement or comment that I needed to respond to. Just that 36 random news feeds randomly saw something I posted for fun.

Then, within the same notification stream, literally the next one a few minutes later is that... drum roll.... 39 people (and why THAT weird number?) had seen my post. Again, useless information and definitely not worth sending me two notifications about.

I would love to hear examples of bad UX/CX from here and other businesses/orgs. And who do you think does something really well that we (and others) can learn from.

Out of Nowhere, Oh My. by Janet Morris

from ift.tt/2gz8Ela

This afternoon before I went to my pulmonary function test, I had a notification pop-up on Facebook saying that Tom Steele had responded to the Metro story about the screenshot. I was a little alarmed, but not completely surprised. That seemed to be his style: to pop back into my notifications weeks after we interacted. So I responded, because I’m me and I couldn’t stand that he was still spewing crap about what happened. Then I went to my appointment.

When I came back, I saw a notification that the story had appeared on George Takei’s Facebook page, which made me feel a little less creeped out by Tom. (There’s a first time for everything.) Since I noticed that the article that was linked didn’t mention the Metro story, I backtracked to the Huffington Post Australia story, which did.

Like before, I feel a little guilty that Tom is getting flack, but glad that the issue itself is being talked about. I do worry that he’s going to attempt to try to defame me like he had when the first rush of people started sending him a few tweets. (I’m pretty sure that if we stacked up how many tweets & notifications he’s gotten on the issue, he’s gotten significantly fewer than I have.) Of course, I did have polls, so that caused a few notifications. Anyway, I doubt this has truly up-ended his life, or he would just ignore it. Whatever.

Speaking of the polls….

#period #periods #livetweetyourperiod #feminism #reprohealth (please RT)

During your period do/did you typically go through:

By popular demand: “Weapon of choice” when you’re on your #period?

— Janet Morris (@janersm) December 1, 2016

Have you ever had to take birth control for your #period?

— Janet Morris (@janersm) December 1, 2016

Have you ever had or considered having surgery because of issues related to your #period?

— Janet Morris (@janersm) December 1, 2016

Obviously none of the polls are scientific, but it’s pretty obvious that most people who menstruate use more than 11 pads in a cycle. Since more than 11 pads/tampons got 86% of the vote, I feel a bit less freakish than I did when I didn’t think I’d get more than 20 votes in the poll,1 wrote about my wonky periods, and when I first responded to his Medium post. I mean, I know that my period is super-bad, but I wasn’t totally sure how it compared to normal.

While you’re here, please consider donating pads and tampons to A Woman’s Worth Inc.’s Prison Project, which sends feminine hygiene products to inmates. Also, please take some time to research the issue of people not having adequate access to these products while in jail or prison, or when they are impoverished and/or homeless. This is a major problem in the United States, and I’ve noticed, from some of the responses, that it’s also a bit of a problem in other countries. That’s something that we as a society need to work on.
