I am very angry with Microsoft at the moment. They are simply too huge for themselves. Why couldn't they have stayed small? Argh! They offer very very bad support, they just can't handle themselves, and, oh argh. Let me tell you what happened. Here I was, downloading some stuff via Opera (which is a very good browser indeed, you should try it), and playing Worms 2. I had just blown up the computer opponent, and wanted to quit the game to see how my download was doing, when *WHAM ZOING SLAP* (and a couple of other sound effects) there was a blue screen. I just could make out that it wanted to reboot my pc, without asking. Bye, download. Then it restarted, and it came with a message box saying that Windows had recovered from a serious problem (*applause* great job, Windows). I then sent the well-known error report thing, which Microsoft don't use for gathering private data, because they don't have a totalitarian regime or anything. It then answered back (yes, Microsoft answered back!). But my enthusiasm was shortlived, as this automatic reply merely sent me to the ATI website for a new display driver, because it thought that might be the problem. Sure, blame the other guy, always works. Naturally, I didn't do this, since I don't want to mess up my system with wrong display drivers. Meh. If you have similar experiences with Microsoft (argh, I'm mentioning their name too often... hmmm, ah yes: Linux BeOS Mac BSD Linux BeOS Mac BSD Linux BeOS Mac BSD Linux BeOS Mac BSD Linux BeOS Mac BSD Linux BeOS Mac BSD Linux BeOS Mac BSD Linux BeOS Mac BSD Linux BeOS Mac BSD Linux BeOS Mac BSD Linux BeOS Mac BSD Linux BeOS Mac BSD Linux BeOS Mac BSD Linux BeOS Mac BSD Linux BeOS Mac BSD; there, that's better)... uh, I was saying, if you too hate M$, then download the song below. It helps.

Current song: John Vanderslice - Bill Gates Must Die
(I don't actually listen to it right now, but you get the reference to LiveJournal. Oh, and I must mention that John Vanderslice is one of many great bands/artists featured on Epitonic, one of the best music sites on the Internet.)

Glass fatigue. I don't think I ever heard of it, but today I was introduced to the matter, rather unpleasantly (oh, don't worry, I still don't know what it is after reading that website you just opened by clicking that link). Anyway, I was having breakfast - well, I was about to have breakfast, I was lowering my glass (containing goat milk), when the bottom fell off. Yeah, you read it right. The bottom fell right off the glass, it just got torn off somehow. I blame glass fatigue. I wasn't harmed in the process, by the way. Anyway. I am aware that I don't update this weblog regularly, but I will do something about that, when I feel like it. Actually, somewhere in the next couple of months I expect to quit my job and do something else, but that will come later. All things have their time to take place, or... something. Er, yeah. Oh, I nearly forgot to say something about that circus called 'the American government', with that clown guy Bush: I don't see how Iraq's weapons are more dangerous than America's weapons. Go ahead and click any word in the previous sentence to see what I mean. Especially click the last one.
