I had to retype this journal again, because DA ate my last one. Shocker.
Anyway, thanks to the disaster that is Eclipse, my gallery is now inactive. Links to other sites where I post content is at the end of this journal. I'll be keeping some of my pictures online for now, but don't count on them staying for long. Thanks to all of you who watched me for so many years, but it's time for me to move on.
I've already talked at length about my disdain for Eclipse (and so has everyone else), but it's clear that's pretty pointless. The only thing worth mentioning is that since the "Watch" box is so sluggish and it takes MUCH longer for me to sift through messages, I will likely be un-watching a number of people around here. Don't take it personally; I simply do not have enough time to wade through the large volume of messages with this new UI, especially since the new menu bar doesn't even show you how many messages you have, anymore. I also hate how Eclipse refreshes and screen and resizes thumbnails after removing each notification, so it's easy to mis-click. At least for me, multi-select is broken, and has been since the last time I tried Eclipse months ago. Clearly, there was no usability review with this design, and it won't be fixed.
Also, as I'm typing this journal, the UI keeps freezing every few seconds, the content is overflowing the screen, and URL links keep extending to multiple lines. I can't believe this design has been in development for about two years. A high school dropout should be able to write better code that this.
