Microsoft adventures, abbreviated
Feb. 2nd, 2007 03:12 pmEarlier this morning as I was in another frothing rage over Microsoft (this time directed at IE7 and ASP.NET) I was all geared up to produce another voiciferous diatribe about Microsoft, programming, web development, and whatever else was annoying me at the moment.
However, after about two hours of wrestling with IE7, I ran out of energy.
There, wasn't that exciting?
ETA: Boring, really. ( An actual case of ASP.NET retardeness )
In general, though? I hate ASP.NET. Thanks to my job, I can now wade competently through a lot of ASP and have even acquired another language, C#. Bully. I hope I enver have to use them again.
ASP.NET spits out ridiculously awful HTML code. While the new code from the 2005 version mostly validates, it does something that I think is far worse than not validating: TAG SOUP.
WHY.
WHY DO THIS.
Why spit ot random
I just.
I am really tired of ranting about Microsoft. I'm a fairly easygoing person. Few things get me truly angry. Well, okay, that's a complete lie. Almost everything about life angers me, deeply, because people are involved in life and people are assholes to each other a distressing amount of the time. My solution is to just not think about it if there's nothing I can do.
I guess it all comes back to idiocy. I can't stand people doing things in an idiotic fashion, and pretty much every time I butt heads with a Microsoft product I see that they've discovered some new and different way to be morons about what they're trying to do.
Someday I'll write a coherent essay about Microsoft, including actual examples of bad coding and predatory economic practices. For now, I'll sum it up this way: IE7 sucks because it's a Firefox copycat that fixed almost none of IE6's problems and introduced a shitload of new ones. Possibly what pisses me off more is that people who've never tried or heard of Firefox think IE was somehow being innovative with their new features. Screw you, Microsoft.
Seriously, y'all who talk to me regularly, I don't generally get well and truly pissed easily, but somehow retarded practices get me every time

Why spit ot random
span and table tags everywhere? Why pile on inline styles? WHY? Not only is it not semantic, the code is poorly formatted so that when I try to wade through the code my coworkers' ASP.NET controls spit out, I can hardly tell what the hell is going on.I just.
