An anonymous M.D. relates a conversation with a nurse, on the value of building trust:

The concept of behaving in a trustworthy way no-matter-what seemed novel to her.

“Even if the other person is not honest?”, she asks, “Even if they are not reliable? Even if they don’t do as I ask them?”

“Yes, how else will they learn to trust?”, I reply.

Today, I did a bunch of work on DHTML menus. It was a major pain in the ass, but I managed to get little arrow-shaped graphics into menu options which have submenus. I can barely believe how difficult it is to design complex user interfaces in DHTML. Simple stuff is — well, simple — but complex things (even if they conform to common user interface standards) seem to just suck the life out of you. When will the browser guys get their act together? This stuff is ancient history in any other application framework.
