The Glass is Too Big - Home

After it happening one too many times, I created this page.

1. My first name is "J". Just the letter.



2. No, that's not what's on my driver's license, but neither are most of the Tim's, Mike's, or Dave's that I know.



3. When I put in "J" as a first name, ignorant validation schemes flag it as an invalid first name.



4. In almost every single case this has ever happened, if I switch it to "J Just J You Morons" or something similar, it passes the validation test.



5. Clearly this is stupid.



6. If you do this and I attempt to register on your site, your site will end up on this page.



7. No one will ever be removed.



8. Those that fix the problem will be moved to a separate list on this page of the forgiven.

Wall of Shame

• 30 Boxes - online calendar application. Server-side validation marks length of 1 as invalid. Accepts "J Just J" as valid first name.



• Dr. Dobbs Journal Subscription page.



• Plurk - You need to enter a first name.



• semantichacker.com - Doesn't even say which field it was that was the problem. "Please Complete The Form Before Submitting". Accepts "Just J" as a valid first name.



• DZone.com - First Name value is invalid. Accepts "Just J" as a valid first name.
