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!
