The links to Bruce's Fists of Vengeance and the first four book reviews are broken.

 

Not anymore...

Funny how just a single a missing / in a hyperlink pretty well bollocks it.

 

Yeah, it's long annoyed me that browsers aren't smarter.

For example, if you type in ww.something.com and it comes up with a DNS error saying that page doesn't exist, why doesn't the browser automatically try www.something.com in the background, and if it gets a valid reply, display that page instead?

Similarly if you type htp:// or http// or htpp:// or any other obvious permutation, the browser should just automatically correct it for us once it knows that what we typed in verbatim is wrong.

 

It's long annoyed me that programming languages require you to put every single damn little thing just right, or they don't work at all. which is why I'll never be a programmer.

In pasting the URLs, I somehow missed the / between the domain name and the sub folder, so the broken ones had "blackchampagne.comreviews" in the middle of them. I don't know how one would program a browser to realize there should be a slash after the .com part and before the next bit, and how that option wouldn't break the viewing of sites that have odd URLs due to their CSS or PHP or whatever, but it's exactly the sort of thing that makes me glad I never spent any time memorizing the completely arbitrary requirements of any programming language.

Even though it would be really useful info to have, at times.

 

They aren't completely arbitrary.
