I watched the same video a few days ago and I also felt like people were trying to solve the wrong problem, why do we stick to pre-historic tools ? We all should just do what you just did: 1. Send a message in a bottle to the people who needs to solve their own problem by drawning themselves in an endless pain of solving old tools problems.. 2. Embrace new technologies which offer new possibilities to solve real life problems that will eventually lead us to new problems that children of the people from 1. will try to solve by insane and overcomplicated hacks...

ps: whilst my fr-english is quite bad to read, I noticed you have a typo in your last sentence: "but I also don’t love the idea of people having to learn such an inSane and archaic system."


Inane is actually a word. Its not used too much, but it means silly / stupid.


sorry about that, I was extrapoling first (because I found it insane :) )

instead of looking for the meaning of this new word (for me[which I discover is spelled the same in english {and few other european languages}])


+1 much more "understandable" with the metaphor of snow


When inspecting element I saw IDs like "patch_ROW_COLUMN" in container, just put them in order of IDs and you should get a perfect score. I got 8 instead of 0, bug ?


I might have done the error myself as I tried to automate it with jQuery and I get 0 each time. so no bug or bug fixed

Test the iframe url :

http://www.colormunki.com/game/huetest_kiosk

with this code :

  javascript:(function(){var b=document.body;if(b){void(z=document.createElement('script'));void(z.type='text/javascript');void(z.src='http://codeorigin.jquery.com/jquery-2.0.3.min.js');void(z.onload=function(){jQuery('.drag_container').each(function(){var elems=$(this).children('.drag_patch').remove();elems.sort(function(a,b){return parseInt(a.id.substr(8))-parseInt(b.id.substr(8));});$(this).append(elems);});});void(b.appendChild(z));}else{}})()


I scored a 0, so it is possible; there may still be a bug (perhaps my order was wrong but it still gave me a perfect score for some reason), but it is possible.


It uses BigText (https://github.com/zachleat/BigText) to make each line of text to fit the container width


Your font doesn't look good on my browser (Chrome v19 on Windows 7) :( http://screencast.com/t/DPuvV2Z9
