One of the more thrilling developments at last night’s Maritime Electric meeting was a committment from both Jim Lea and Angus Orford to remove the annoying “crack of lightning” animation from the from page of Maritime Electric’s website.

Earlier in the week I’d sent Jim an email suggesting that it added nothing to their website; last night he told me that he’d canvassed others in the company, and found that everyone found it annoying.

Summary: sometimes the easiest way to affect change is simply to ask.
