TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Remember in high school (ok...college...) when you had to write a paper of a
specific length? You would shorten the margins, maybe sneak the font a
size bigger...it seems I am doing the same thing now.
The gentleman who approves some of our documents has a hang up about
thickness. I was told by one of his co-workers to use a larger font, and
maybe a few extra page breaks simply because the man would not open a
document that appears to be too thin.
I understand that in the past he might have felt a bit ripped off on
content...but that is a bit archaic. So instead of making the document more
user friendly, I have to sacrifice usability and cater to this one man...the
approving authority.
When I took it to my boss yesterday, the document was 130+ pages, he
jokingly said "I don't know, maybe we should print it single sided."

Who doesn't know what day it is, cause they all bleed together...someone
told him it was Friday?!?
--Today, for revenge, I hid a little Easter egg. When the user clicks to
hear a test sound, they get to hear Homer Simpson singing Space Cowboy.
Yahooooo!
