The GUI editor in NetBeans has become mighty advanced. Gone are the days when you mess around with the GridBagLayout and nothing seems to work the way you want. Say sayonara to the needless frustration and desire to crush your computer for not doing what you want it to.
This is because of the fact that the form editor uses the Free Design layout manager which means that you can virtually go crazy and do just about anything! Throw in some Swing components like radio buttons and text fields, and bada bing - your done! I had my nephew come around and only after 20 minutes he created the following form:
In other news, I been trying to follow this election like everyone else, and am suprised by all the attention that Sarah Palin's been getting. Mostly lately it's been rather negative, but you know what they say about bad press being good press. Like Tina Fey's recent portrayal on Saturday Night Live. And the way critics have harpooned her over recent performances in TV interviews. It's interesting to see how much the election's dominating the media, which is a phenomenon which I sometimes think has gone a bit too far, but that's not to say I'm not trying to enjoy it as much as I can. Like instead of watching Lost or Big Brother, just click over to msnbc.com and watch some videos under politics.
