Vista can go @)#($*U itself

[muck_a_luck]

So. Vista.

I am working on Boss' computer today. And I am hating Vista.

What is UP with Microsoft? What made them feel like they NEEDED to change their software. This is really unforgivable.

File management is not the same.

We have all been file managing in Windows for years. And actually, file managment was pretty logical and intuitive.

Well, it's not anymore.

Seriously. I have saved TWO documents on this computer today, and I thought I knew exactly where I put them, and when I went to find them THEY WERE NOT FUCKING WHERE I PUT THEM!!!!!

I had to perform a file search to track them down.

I mean, if it had been just the one file, I would have thought, eh, I screwed up. But twice?! Something is fucking wrong wtih this fucking goddamned software.

On the upside, I have managed to resolve a relatively complex, multipart problem with the synchronization of our office calendar program (host to remote) and Boss Outlook (remote to Outlook and Outlook to Remote). Have run into a few factual questions that have to be resolved before I can finish the chain and sync the Remote back to the Host after the Outlook sync. But I'm optimistic that after Boss gets back to me, I will get everybody talking to each other. Now to just keep Boss from making changes in Outlook, which I have forbidden to write back to the scheduling software database because of all the sync issues that creates.

interesting...not a problem I have had with my docs. yet. on the downside, I had the Blue Screen of Death again today. I thought we were past that. sigh.

here is an intriguing place to go in Vista (no, I am not gonna say anything dirty, bad or unworksafe!) - Reliability and Performance Monitor. On the Start menu. Mine has gone down the tubes since I first turned on my computer!

*refuses to go on a rant about Vista* I'm too tired.

But yeah. Vista? Can go fuck itself with something large and spiky. And no lube.

*hugs XP*

given the problems Vista has, I think XP can reasonably expect a handjob, at minimum...

I'm getting out my nice underwear for XP. And we're having wine.

If they didn't make work for themselves they wouldn't be able to afford Starbucks coffee, Nieman Marcus, buying up remote plots of land on the Olympic Peninsula (shh.....it's a secret), shopping at Bellvue Square where they have a Tiffany's (I've been in there, twice. The lights make the stones look better than they are and there are armed guards by the doors. And, way too many sales people. I was not impressed.)

There is a very certain image for anyone working at the MS campus in Redmond. Most are probably over their head in debt as a result. Seattle-area is not in a housing down-turn--it's flying high--and so is the price of milk and eggs. Gas is the highest in the country here. Who are we to complain. We don't have Midwest cold-snaps. Some areas get rain, the areas get old geezers trying to drive looking through the driving wheel. Well, at least they aren't on a cell phone or sniffing coke.

There is always a silver lining. But for some reason we have a horrible meth problem. I think people are just plain fricken bored. There is nothing to do here unless you over the age of 55, so kids find trouble.

There is always hiking, but every hiker is the Klahane Hiking club was at least 8 years older than myself, and my nerve pain in my right leg must be resolve before I start going and down up 4-6 degree climbs.

I use to take him to enormous field so he could run to his delight, but now he has panic attacks. I hate to do this to him, but I put the shock collar oh him for a trip to down a couple days ago--he sat right down when told him to and then he got his favorite treat.
