bloody slow

i'm fed up with Live Space's bloody slowness. i was thinking msn space actually has its advantages, since some features require special html codes, without which the features can't be displayed properly in blogger.com. but now everything just doesn't matter anymore. just now i spent half an hour for nothing on msn space. the window kept on freezing itself. it can be a real nuisance for ppl lacking patience, and i'm one of them.

well, i'm not going to waste my time on that space anymore. live.space should make it work better and faster, and more user-friendly. however its lousy work has lead just to the opposite, instead of benefiting the users, we are actually accommodating its overloaded system now. that's just ridiculous. if live.space keeps up work of this standard, it'll lose more bloggers for sure.

sometimes sophistication may not be a better thing. after seeing several times of live.space system updating, it is obvious that its designers want everything flowery, organised and fixed. it doesn't give users room for creativity. if the user wants to make changes to the space for it to look unique, he has to do it at a price--the changes will (80% chance) slow down the system. i once made the background transparent, and everything was slowed down, even typing a sentence cost me triple of the time. blogger.com, with simple templates, attracts no fewer ppl to blog here. this is really something live.space should look up to.

we may have to wait for quite long for live.space's next revolution. meanwhile, (in my case) its "main blog" status is usurped by blogger.com. i'll just blog here for my convenience.
