Oracle is "reforming" the Sun website.
Changes look like typically this:
from:
http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/?frontpage-javaplatform
to:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index-jsp-141438.html
The important thing is there is NO pattern to this. Every one of
thousands of links out there in the world to the Sun site will
eventually have to be manually updated. ARRGGH!
I do some of my links manually and but most are computer-generated
from patterns. These nincompoops have destroyed all sense of order and
made all the links unmemorisable.
It is one thing to create an incompetent system, but quite another to
break a reasonable system to make it deliberately incompetent.
I guess I will have to automate the process by at least mechanically
preparing a CSV file of old and new URLS for individual links, and
writing a global search/replace. But I am not the only one with a
website with many Sun links.
It will all go pear-shaped over time.
On top of that, response time is WORSE. What the Bleep? There are now
more servers. Response should be better.
