Adobe GoLive is Evil Incarnate

May 7, 2005

I feel for the folks over to Gadgetopia, who couldn’t help but post a well-deserved rant about Adobe GoLive.

Joe and I are working on cleaning a site up that was done in GoLive. Joe was so irritated by the wee hours of the morning that he threatened to make the original developer apologize to Tim Berners-Lee personally. I think the guy who wrote GoLive — especially the image rollover code — should be publicly beaten somewhere….

…everytime someone buys a copy of GoLive, if you listen really closely, you can hear Satan laugh.

The comments are even better.  Go check it out.

Of course, Adobe is the company that now owns DreamWeaver, which is already about 65% useless on most days.  Boy do I sleep well at night thinking about how this is going to work out. 

Not.

    Oh man, GoLive totally sucks Moose C*ck!

    There was a time where I used Adobe for print and Macromedia for web… now that Adobe owns them I’m a’scared!

    I like Dremweaver, though. Never had a problem with it.

Got something to say? [privacy policy]

Adobe gets Macromedia, Customers get what?I can’t seem to get away from the feeling of impending doom that came over me while reading that Adobe is acquiring Macromedia. I develop (and have developed for years) a lot of ColdFusion based projects.  The Macromedia purchase of Allaire (the original developers of ColdFusion) was a slow-motion nightmare, with years going by between the last stable Allaire release (4.5) and the first release from Macromedia that was actually stable enough to run on production servers (MX 6.1).  Even now, ColdFusion appears to be an “afterthought” product from Macromedia most days.  Certainly nothing as worthy of attention as the next Flash-based widgetry. I can’t imagine that this is going to get any better with Adobe at the helm.  ColdFusion...


Broadcast Flag Lesser Evil? Engadget thinks maybe we were all a bit too hasty in celebrating the killing of the Broadcast Flag in US Appeals Court. Their concern? Once Congress gets into this, we might end up with a technical solution to "protecting" digital content that would actually work... However, the fact remains: the Broadcast Flag was a highly sidestep-able solution to the "problem" of content-protection. The technical implementation had more loopholes than a bowl of Fruitloops. Device manufacturers had little incentive to bulletproof their devices and, unlike OpenCable devices, testing wasn’t rigorous enough to ensure that content stayed protected. Furthermore, broadcasts remained in-the-clear and there was nothing to disrupt existing receivers/recorders. In short, the Broadcast Flag would have been as effective as...


Enter MuddaAnother week, another round of ranting about where the music industry is going... BusinessWeek is suggesting that the RIAA's latest round of lawsuits is their worst move yet, as in addition to pissing off their customers (a strategy that only seems to work well for telcos), they are engaged in a tail-chasing digital arms race -- and that they'll always be on the short (and expensive) end of the stick. Clay Shirky points out that the RIAA succeeds where the cypherpunks failed by making encryption ever more commonplace among the general public -- something all of the cypherpunk's warnings and big-brother privacy invasions had failed to do to-date. Meanwhile, Brian Eno and Peter Gabrial have announced MUDDA -- the Magificent...


iWork HarderIf you’ve bought a copy of iWork—or are thinking about it—you’ll probably really appreciate “17 Things You Might Not Know You Could Do With iWork” from O’Reilly’s MacDevCenter. I’ve not been terribly interested in iWork so far (I’m still stuck in Microsoft Office for Mac, also known as “iSuck"), but after reading some of this stuff—like “Pages Is iMovie for Paper”, I’m seriously considering snagging a copy and spending a little quality time with it… ...
