Has over 100000 effective HP. In tests it took over 90000 in damage before going down. A Megathron setup with 2xLARs lasted only for 40000-50000 damage and had also problems with cap.

Setup created in EFT. You can copy paste that in your Megathron.cfg file or create a new one.

Design

When creating a new icon make it always include two sizes 16×16 (16 colors) and 32×32 (16 colors). First one for browsers location bar second size for desktop shortcut.

Books

Don’t make me think

Don't make me think by Steve Krug
Don't make me think by Steve Krug

My first book on my vacation. It did reinforce the importance of few usability issues for me.

Some important points made in this book:

  • Back button is most used feature in web browsers. Always see to that it works correctly with your web application.
  • People don’t read web pages, they scan them until they find first item that may mach theirs needs.
  • All clickable items on a page should look clickable.
  • Do not present user with to many choices (search options).
  • User testing is very important. Test you ideas often on small groups: 3-4 people.
