InternetExplorer 7 is ugly

At work, I upgraded to the latest Micrsoft browser for the tabbed browsing. I must say using it daily that it is the worst looking piece of software I am unfortunately using.

The tabs don’t look right. They’re flush against the content of the browser box. They don’t stand out enough to tell which tab you’re browsing.

What’s with the swap of the application menus and the location bar? Is that a Vista thing and is that pretty retarded?

What’s with that toolbar for home, print and rss field? It looks lonely out there like its waiting to be used in an Office toolbar.

Why are the back buttons round, but the refresh and stop buttons square?

What is wrong with the people in Redmond? Is this the best they can do?

The Union label

This is a post from around June 2005 which I never posted either because it is incomplete or I forgot. Or maybe I got bloggered and was unable to post but never came back to it. Anywhoo enjoy!

BoingBoing points out a Wired article about game coders wanting to support the voice actors in there quest for royalties from recording vocals for games only if they can get a slice of the profits too. I say fooey on them.

The main thing about the actors is that they have a union to back them up. They have the clout with many other unions to help them in on this. What does the game coder have?

Maybe if game coders would think about unionizing they may have some leverage to ask for royalties as well. But if they keep the “To each his own” philosophy then, screw ’em.

Now, I am not saying that they don’t deserve any royalties. As a programmer/software engineer myself I support getting paid. They do the most amazing work and don’t get credit for it. But what gets me is the libertarian like politics that pervade the software industry.

Night shade

This post should be about me being up this early or staying up late, but it is not.

It’s about writing and writers who make their doing some work as
ghostwriters.

They get up in the middle of the night or early in the morning to post things.

Boo!

Quote of the Day [4.30.08]

答えはいつも私の胸に・・・
なんでだろう　あなたを選んだ私です
もうとまらない　運命様から決められたけど
I believe 真似だけじゃつまらないの
You'll be right!
感じるまま感じることだけをするよ冒険でしょでしょ！？　ホントが嘘に変わる世界で
夢があるから強くなるのよ　誰の為じゃない一緒に来てくださいっ
どこまでも自由な私を見てよね
明日過去になった今日のいまが奇跡
I believe you… Bouken Desho Desho?

Takano Akira is the silent, quiet, proper one of the famous 2-C girls in School Rumble. She just kissed Hanai?! What does that mean?

Netflix queue is stuck.

I’ve been too busy watching School Rumble or The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.

Plus maybe I’ve reached my limit for wanting to watch a movie. I should just change my subscription to the cheapest one they got. I wonder what that is.
