Interface

It appears that Facebook who thinks that changes are great has given us another version of user interface changes. This version is inferior compared to the older version as they completely removed the the notifications and applications bar at the bottom.

My main complaint about the new interface is the removal of the bottom menu bar. Not only are applications no longer accessible from any page on Facebook except the mainpage, we no longer get the choice of rearranging the applications links we would want to see first and some unwanted applications links like the “Applications” and “Games” are now shoved down our throats.

Also gone is the ability to hover over the items in the top menu and have a drop down selection come up as we now have to click the item for the dropdown menu to appear. This makes the new UI unintuitive  and clumsy.

Finally notifications now feel sluggish as it seem to have its update intervals changed.

Thats my blogger pass and the stuff I bought at the event.

SOY’B or Start of the Year was an annual cosplay event held at Ngee Ann Poly and is in its 3rd year. It has gone from its humble beginnings in a far away lecture hall to the basement of a convention hall on the school’s compound. I was at SOY’A last year and thus could see the great improvement of venue from the previous year. This year there are alot more booths selling event related items.

The event still revolves around the main premises of cosplay and thus I would throw eye cancer in your face right about now. Check out the Gallery below…
