There's no such marketplace because people aren't that interested in half an idea with a low market-value.

Just patent every idea you have, and when someone implements it send a lawyer round.

|
|
|
|
Patents cover implementations, not ideas, for just this reason.

Is the idea marketplace one for the ideas you don't have time for

Yup. Also, not a website coder.

- by editing the help text.
When the tech pubs writer who authored my help left to pursue her master's degree, the pointy-haired types decided that I could maintain my own application help. Since that time, I've touched up the help whenever I've made changes, but I've never done a comprehensive review. We're re-organizing some of our offline documentation, and I've been reworking the help to match.
This has forced me to take a different look at the UI for this product, and I've already fixed several problems. All but one are minor, and that one was in a part of the product that isn't used often.
It's kind of eye-opening to get this perspective. Imagine what would happen if I actually talked to customers, and people who ran the machine...

Do not do that ! Most of them are completely computer illiterate, and would not understand the least thing of your UI !

Made a loaf of bread today - olive bread - and it's fresh out of the oven: Piccy[^]
And now the house smells of fresh baked bread, and it's making me really hungry and I can't concentrate on work...
And I can't eat it yet - because it's too hot to cut well - Herself won't be home for a couple of hours so I can't have lunch 'til then...damnit!
Methinks olive bread, Camembert, salami, and Tomkin tomatoes is going to feature highly on the luncheon menu today.
What are you planning on?

God knows, but I'm bloody hungry.
You know when you get up, really are not hungry at all, really don't want anything, drive to work and feel bloody starving when you get there?
That, and our canteen stopped opening for breakfast a few months ago.
4 minutes till I had off for a forage.

I'm going to have to run an extra couple of miles just from the caloric overload from your lunch description.

Ham and mushrooms always go well together, especially with a good cheese.

Following your food posts it strikes me that you're not Italian, as you share many of the common Italian tastes and usually eat what could easily be a common Italian lunch!
