The world cup just got over. And in spite of Australia's continued dominance and India's pathetic performance, some cricket scenes with a nice song in the background on tv set me in a romantic cricket mood and I thought I wanna write something on how this beautiful game trumps all other games.
So I type www.blogger.com
First thing, the blogger page is in Dutch! Fuck fuck fuck. Just coz I am located in Amsterdam does not mean I know to read (even if I could speak, which I also cannot) the local language; please at least give me an option to change my language setting but no I cannot find any such thing. Wow. Who project managed this whole smart language thing? Which stupid smart-ass too-good fucking engineer/project manager/team forgot about the people who live in places where they do not know the local language? How can Google - which does have the smartest guys and makes the smartest softwares - fuck up on this?
Second, Google's taken over Blogger. And I have to create a google account now (or use my old account and link it to my Blogger one). But why? I want to blog. Thats all I fucking want to do. Why is Blogger/Google troubling me with things like linking up accounts/creating gmail accounts etc? When I signed up on Blogger, I probably checked on some Blogger "Terms and Conditions". But shouldn't there also be terms and conditions that these sites - which offer you free acounts and good services and hence very nicely make sure you use them a lot and get used to them - that these sites would not without sufficient warning suddenly change themselves so much? I signed up for a particular thing; that thing itself can evolve fine - they could give me better blogging tools etc - but linking up to email? thats something I DID NOT SIGN UP ON BLOGGER FOR.
So Google, FUCK THE HELL OFF. And thanks for spoiling my mood. I loved Google. Now, I am starting to be wary of it. It is going where Microsoft went. And is fucking us all.
