WTF happened to the old default windows LJ client? All the current options for windows clients have horrible interfaces.

Oh, and hello again, Livejournal. fraxl said I should post more, so I'll try..

Holy crap!
Who the hell is this!

Why is that gay guy dressed like a pirate!

[gehn]

What!? No baby baby, it's not like that! Those other robots and me.. there's nothing there! It's all mechanical between us, you know? No real computation, i swear!

[fraxl]

i still use semagic! i suspect user error :-)

[gehn]

I know! And i cringe every time i see you bring it up. There are like 23409839023498 buttons, images, and widgets all over the interface, when all I want is a place to write text.

For a number that big it's simpler to use scientific notation. Like this: 2.3409839023498e^13. Isn't that better? No? God I hate scientific notation.

I know there's a land of Windows where interfaces aren't horrible, but being in corporate Win2K land, my first reaction was, "and???" ;)

[gehn]

There is?

Ugh, I installed Vista thinking that it would be that place. Boy was that a dumb idea.

[minirant]

"Yes Virginia, (as long as you install cygwin) there really is a land of Windows where interfaces aren't horrible" ;)

I was hoping it was just Win2K that brought the pain... so I should look forward to my new machine being as painful, eh?

[gehn]

Yeah.. someone needs to tell microsoft that Pretty UI != Good UI.

Hey! Welcome back!
