All Tags // Annoyances
Among the (many) things that I'm admittedly anal about with respect to code is nomenclature. I hate obfuscation, I detest ambiguity, I deplore obscure abbreviations. I'm also not a fan of misdirection.
I sat down in front of GMail this morning to compose a message to the CF-Talk mailing list and I had this vague sensation that something was amiss. I couldn't put my finger on it, but I honestly didn't think too much about it. After a minute or two, though, I think my neck started getting tired and it hit me. GMail's message composition window is no longer constrained. I've been turning my head to see what I'm typing. Although I've gotten used to it, I suppose, I always hated the wasted real estate that could've been used to keep the vertical scroll within a message to a minimum. As far as I could tell, there was no reason for the width to be constrained (ad space, perhaps?), it just was. Maybe not any more.
