You’re reading Signal v. Noise, a publication about the web by Basecamp since 1999. Happy !

on 17 Sep 12Would I be wrong in assuming Paychex has not been privately made aware of your feedback before publication?

on 17 Sep 12That e-commerce warning is still around. I saw it last week on the Maryland DMV.

on 23 Sep 12I’ve still had trouble with the post/redirect/get method still letting duplicate form submits through if they hit the back-button/refresh too fast. I’ve been trying to get around it by time-stamping and ID’ing each form so that the server knows when there is a duplicate submit.
Is there a better way I don’t know about?
