Drywall is up. Mudding has begun. I went to upload some photos, but the server’s drive decided it was going to start to make a “thunk” sound and not respond, then be ok for a bit, then not respond again. It’s an interesting difference between Linux and windows. From past experience when the hard drive gave me problems in Windows, nothing would work right, things would slow to a crawl, clicked icons would not do anything, even the mouse and keyboard would be slow, you end up doing the dog poopbut scoot thing with your mouse. repeatedly, moving the mouse, picking it up, an moving it again, just to move the cursor 3 inches across the screen.
With Linux, it seems everything works just fine except for the problem device. The mouse continued to zip along, the keyboard was generally responsive. The things that didn’t work required the hard drive. I could still load the dvd drive. in other words, IT WAS TEASING ME! What good does any of it do if I can’t use the damn hard drive!!!
While I’m bitching and moaning. ADOBE
Adobe has become worse than Microsoft. I don’t mean in the kill the little guy way that people hate MS for, though that is apparently going on too. (I miss you Syntrillium software) I’m talking about the shitty programming.
Take flash player (please!) when it works on your computer it works fine. If you don’t mind the supposed tracking that goes with it. But it doesn’t always work. I’ve had situations where I’ve had to use generic sound card drivers for Sound Blaster Sound Cards just so Flash wouldn’t lock up the computer. Flash works just fine on one of my computers here, but on the other it doesn’t display properly. They’re the same f’n computers! If you want to uninstall it you have to download a special file from here
My favorite part is this “Due to recent enhancements with the Flash Player installers, you are now only able to uninstall by using the Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller”
I get emails for “enhancements” all the time.
New Adobe Flash Player, now with Viagra
New Adobe Flash Player penis enlargements.
New Adobe Flash Player, now with breast implants.
Marketing is just wonderful. Shitty programming and a corporate entities desire to be permanently on your computer is now an enhancement.
Viagra software.
