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)

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

Yes, an what a hilarious new genre it is! Seriously, I don’t think that warranted quite so many capital HAs.

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