My Apology to @CCP_Punkturis

I wrote a blog post yesterday about some Hulkageddon experiences. During those experiences I had some issues/complaints about the functionality of the overview window.

I mistakenly attributed those changes to CCP Punkturis. I was sure I remembered her tweeting about them. But I think I got confused with the pinned windows feature that she worked on (or fixed) post Crucible, with the sort locking features introduced in March by Team Gridlock.

So my apology for attributing those UI issues to her.

I tried to make the changes this morning, but was rushed before work, and didn't really have time to do much, other than remove reference to her and replace with the dev I was informed has headed up the team actually involved/responsible.

As an aside, I do take issue with some comments stating that I was both rude and ridiculing towards her. I was nothing of the sort. I was careful to keep it lighthearted. Included a smiling emoticon. And referred to her as a lovely person. Unless viking culture is much different than I imagine, I don't see how any of that can be construed as rude and/or ridiculing.

I've fixed the post and attributed the changes to Team Gridlock as a whole. (Isn't CCP Veritas the head of Team Gridlock?)

KatrĂ­n does good work. It wasn't my intention to imply that she did anything other than good work, except to point out one area that could use some additional improvement. Team Gridlock does good work as well, but the UI issue I bring up, if they could find the time, adding a user-defined option would be welcome.

Again, my sincerest apology to CCP Punkturis.

  1. Wait, what? You mean that the pin button that doesn't pin is actually a feature?

  2. I would like it if the O/V was more granular--but then, I would like it if that clunky relic of the 1990s was scrapped and re-invented from zero, too.

    Punkturis et al are doing an absolutely bang-up job for the most part, but one can only polish a turd so much.
