anti feature implementation rant |
|
|
With all the hubbub about comments in Radio, i just want to say that the way the feature was implemented and added appears to me to (a) make the product weaker - even though there are some customizations these were added 'to the pool' and not at an appropriate outline level that would let you keep them together. they code contained the structure of the result. that's bad. (b) you can't just add string replacement macros like that! this looked like 100% fluff written the way it was written because that was the only way to hack-it-in without facing the music lurking in the items render proc. (c) left my customer service issue unanswered till i overwrote email and called people.
i suggested ways of fixing render almost four weeks ago, have since worked out a method for myself to cleanly add new parameterizable customizable string-replacement macros.. i email and post about it.. there's noone home it seems and if everyone else cheers these bad practices there are going to get more like it. that's bad! (trust me! lol, i dig the render codde.) | ||

insight of the day: do not let lawrence handle tech support questions. do not let him pass things on to 'the team'.. do not write to dave.. do not write to his ceo, do not write to marketing. do not follow-up on the problem by email everyday from the 14th to the 21st.... give up. fire up whois and start making phone-calls.
Brent thinks he can have my logs fixed within an hr or so. THANKS BRENT! | ||
