Will interviewed me in my second round at eBay. He was the best interview I had. I just connected immediately with him.
I worked with Will for a bit. He then left to start up Arena Flowers, and has gone from nothing to doing a really good job in no time at all
I still speak to Will because he's a top bloke. Now and then I even give him usability tips.

- Photo upload is live ... just put it up. We're just checking it's working, obviously. Have a look – try buying and you'll find it on step 2 of checkout. It's that new feature I was telling you about where you can send a personalised card along with your purchase
- me
- Nice photo uploader. I've sent it to my dev guys to look at as an example. Very sweet. Also you need a "Cancel/Stop " button for your uploading widget.
- will
- Yeah. Thought the same thing .. (cc'ed to devboy Zach)
- zach
- Currently clicking on the timer stops it. will put a cancel below. Sam, can you do me a cancel button? (cc'ed to designboy Sam)
- me
- Clicking on the timer is a bit non obvious ( a user might do it by accident). I would make a little stop sign or a x that fades in when upload starts and fades out when it finishes.
- zach
- Mm X would be good, was just trying to fill that annoying chunk of space below the progress bar that hiding the other elements creates.
- me
- You could put a picture of me along with "He's available girls" in that space.

Just goes to show that sometimes desperation can be funny.

“and then I read a funny blog about two geeks talking about the usability of a flower website.”
Never thought I’d say that.

IM humour is a whole new genre. Right up there with predictive text fuck-ups
4. Destructor
Yes, an what a hilarious new genre it is! Seriously, I don’t think that warranted quite so many capital HAs.
5. Will
Maybe we’ll try it and if it helps conversion. no more sales ever

VERY impressed with all those gizmos, and nice flowers. Might even use them next time. Why have I never heard of them before?
