Journal Marxist Hacker 42's Journal: Ok, getting a little better 15
Ok, we're getting a LITTLE more usable on the main user page. Just give me my two links back that I'm still missing, and I'll be happy:
Write in Journal- this used to be one click away from the user page, and it's now two. Put it back on the user page, please.
Messages- I still can't figure out how to get there except by clicking on Journal first. I need this link on my user page.
I don't get why this has been so hard. Or why there wasn't a beta for the new system.

I've always used the message notifier at the top of the main page, middle-click that first, then on down for the stories I want to read. Then again, I still spend large amounts of time on the front page whereas a lot of people here don't.

I still read it but don't comment there all that often anymore.
So much complaining (Score:1)
I've never seen so much whining from the journalosphere as I have over this one change. You guys just aren't used to it -- if everyone had been reading the dot with IE 6 the last several years and seen all the unannounced screwups I've seen, you wouldn't be phased by this at all. For months my journal buttons were all 1 pixel high (and not in some "beta" view (this was before "D2")), so I had to click on them in order until I memorized in which position the "Write in Journal" one was.

For now. Not "stuck", just still using my ancient Win2K system, by choice, but that means stuck on no later than IE 6. Tentatively '09 Q2 I plan to finally get a shiny new system, with 64-bit Vista I guess (Windows 7 won't be out until late '09, at the earliest) and prolly IE 8 out of beta by then. Not that Slashdot ever really supported IE even when it was at 90-some percent marketshare/Slashdot-visitorshare. So I don't expect things to be much different next year. Bu

I guess just surf around friends of friends. I don't have time to reply and look at everyones journal myself, I mostly have to work at technocrat (although it has turned into a volunteer position). I work full time on a farm, just do a little reading and writing on breaks and in the evenings.
As to be used to dialup, yes and no, web pages have gotten so bloated and slow to load with flash, images, scripting required, etc, that it is actually slower now just random surfing then back in 19.2 kbps days. I try t

My brother is looking at signing up with an actual professional service that does this- he'll have to put a 50 foot antenna attached to the top of a 100 foot douglas fir to do it, but he figures he can get LOS out of it.

When that short term wireless connection I used to have crapped out, we tried up the hill and up the huge oak tree in the front yard, no signal. Once they switched their antenna to another one it just went. I can get a not good enough to be used signal from a rival company, but their computerized map showed it so degraded they won't even send a tech out to try it. As to share something close by with a friend, etc, AFAIK I am the only person around here who has any interest in an internet connection, for se

I have a FF of some version on my Win2K box, but 1) I already have IE auto-logging me in here, with whatever cryptic string the dot last emailed me as a new password when my browser lost its cookies, that I've never changed to something memorable, 2) I already have a popup blocker for IE (that I made), that I know works, and 3) FF has gotten too ubiquitous. The one thing that originally made me considering switching to FF was on some level "security by obscurity". But it's popular now, and has been producin

Not to mention that, pronouncements still to be awaited, none of this makes any sense in practical terms. This being Slashdot, that shit ain't gonna fly.
Oh, and as for IE6, congrats. You're well hard. Now fuck off, Grizzly Adams.

Not trolling, just wondering WTF is going on. It took me a second read to decipher "those with subs", but I still can't parse "pronouncements still to be awaited". That's actually pretty funny. Can I use that? ;-) And "You're well hard"? WTF does that mean? (I only want to hear that from women, thank you very much.) Then you tell me to fuck off (why?) and call me "Grizzly Adams"?!? Huh? I was worried you were experiencing an embolism or something.
