There is no need at all to make long discourses; it is enough to stretch out one's hand and say, “Lord, as you will, and as you know, have mercy.” And if the conflict grows fiercer say, “Lord help!” God knows very well what we need and He shows us His mercy.

I was trying to download the latest version of the Java runtime from Sun. I guess I am so used to downloading the JDK, which is a royal pain to locate, that I’ve become accustomed to ignoring the front page. Which, of course, actually has the link I was looking for. Instead, I was scrounging through a pile of confusing links with too much information, which — for months now! — has kept me believing that JRE 1.4 was not available yet.

Then Tim makes me feel like a moron about it on IRC. Well, I’ve got news for you: <rant>I AM NOT STUPID!</rant> Sun’s website designers suck great hairy balls of rubber until their lips fall off. Here’s a clue: User testing makes sites usable!
