I can't even find the words to express this succinctly. When I have something in the lhs project list in Xcode and try to drag-and-drop it down, it always goes into whatever folder is immediately above where I am trying to drop it. So if I made a new Group I can't seem to move it down the list w/out it ending up inside an already existing Group.  ?!

(Update: oh. my. god. there's like some 4 pixel sweet spot zone that lets me get what I want. and it is flaky as hell.)

so g+ sends me email saying somebody is now following me.

i have no freaking idea how i g+ to get a list of who is following me.

i hate g+ so much.

(Update: Go to "People" on the left, then the header bar miraculously changes to include a "Followers" thing you can click on.)

there's this meme in ui/ux that somebody started and too many (more than zero) people follow about trying to maximize screen realestate for content by making control bars move out of the way (fucking disappear) when you start to scroll up or down.

so then you have to know how the fuck to get them back.

and then they come back when you don't want them to and they get in the way.

i so utterly hate this shit.

i hate blogger
so much
i have no freaking idea how to just edit the (currently blank) 'description' field of my blog
can't freaking figure it out in 10 seconds from their ui/ux

have i mentioned recently how much i hate blogger?

to the tune of REM's song:
It's the end of usability as we know it
I feeeel fhhiiineeee.

i went to g+.
it pushed and prodded me to go the new g+.
like, i dismissed the banner that was telling me to use the new g+.
but the banner came back like nigh immediately.
so i said ok try it.
so then i get the new page.
and then when i mouse wheel scroll the left hand column of things /
when i reach the end of that panel (iframe, whatever) /
and keep spinning the mouse wheel /
somehow they've fucked up the ux so much that the fucking main big lists result on the rhs starts scrolling /
even though my fucking mouse cursor isn't over there /
at all /
what /
the /
fuck

i hate linux. i hate the linux desktop. any and all of them. complete and utter unfettered hate.

(of course, the legal entanglements of mac os x & windows are way worse. and while they seem to suck a little less ux-wise, they surely have more than zero utterly insanely stupid bad ui/ux, too.)
