Lets Waste Some Soap

In the hotel I am currently staying in, they provide (like all hotels do) free soap bars. Each day, the slightly used bar gets replaced by the cleaning staff with a new unused one.

Is soap recycable? I doubt it.

Soap is recycable. My dad used to play with soap when I was wong, each tiny piece of unfinihed and unuseable soap ended up in a small plastic box. When enought piece where inside the box, he would pout some water in the box in order to melt each piece with one another, then he would take a new soap out of the box.

And there was I thinking this post would be about Web services optimisation.

When faced with an important question like this, I always turn to The Simpsons, the source of infinite wisdom:

"Lisa: I made a new bar of soap by squeezing all our little soap slivers together! [holds up a multi-colored ball of soap slivers]".

And you can use soap for making bombs (see The Fight Club)

Adhere to Window Models. Document windows, Utility windows, Click-through, Layering, Drawers, Controls. How do users open windows, how do you properly title windows?

Adhere to System Appearance. Does your application use all the sweetly colored buttons, delightfully shaded windows, and all the other "bells and whistles?"

But limit your animations to whatever is required to communicate the necessary information. Avoid annoying animations that discourage ease of use. Ask yourself, "What do I need to show the user, and what is the cleanest way possible to achieve that?" A good example is the Mail application for Mac OS X. Whenever a new message arrives, the Dock icon changes appearance to indicate a changed state.
