Some say that this kind of dates are special - y' know, 11.11. 2011, 6.6.2006 and so on, but right now, I am finding out it's a some kind of a mathematical hype.
I know that the next such occasion should have been in 88 years - hopefully I will be alive then, as they somewhat whine about next Armaggedon at....21.12.2012, and ain't that my luck, it is just after my supposed Anatomy exam. /groans/. If it is, then I would appreciate my apocalypse to go just... a... bit... quieter. Someone said that the world doesn't end with a bang, but a whimper, and I am right now deliberating whether the bang would be better in terms of being unconscious at the impact, or should we wait out out natural ends whimpering like small puppies.
Still didn't find my map with receipts and some important letter - it's funny and pathetic at the same time - I can remember so many obsure facts, but when it comes to one measly little blue map, I Don't Have A Fucking Clue. It has been driving me bonkers for a time - hopefully tomorrow I will find the damned annoyance.
Yesterday I had a close meeting with very annoying program that I wanted to strangle the shit outta it's producers for leaving the damned menace running around the web.
Long story short - went on the 'net to grab some programs for mum, and while I was downloading 'em, I somehow managed to agree for the SweetIm being installed.
Worst fucking decision...since babylon toolbar. And while I managed to correct babylon in some three days and with actual work of four hours, SweetIM managed to torture me for a day and a whoopin' five hours. Meaning, I was gnawing at the program and how to uninstall all those damned things since nine o'clock at night and I managed to finish at almost three in the morning. So... make that almost six hours. Damned thing is very stubborn to remove, bot for all the miserable souls out there who don't want to buy any special programs and are willing to chew themselves through the proverbial guts of their computer programs, here's the link:
How To Remove SweetIM The Hard-Ass Way
I could actually snog the guy who wrote the thing out. Or at least make a shrine and worship him for his fabulous deeds... so thank you, Stelian Pilici, wherever and however you are. You saved one very frustrated geek from the nightmare of epic proportions.... seriously. And this lowly geek is humbled by your awesome knowledge and fool-proof way how to gut the SweetIM bastard.... properly. If you think I sound bloodthirsty, go see the comments of some other miserable users of that annoying program on the web. At the point of three-oh at morning yesterday, I had all the rights to be more than a little homicidal. I still have, but that's not the point. Although I am homicidal about that map... ahem /clears throat/
And as a PS: Tried Microsoft Word 2013 Preview version. The guys and gals who did the work had gone seriously retro (or off their deep ends?) in the times of Star Trek with it's theme, but the sharp lines just hurt my eyes. of course, there are some pretty good backgrounds for Power Point presentations, the same is with Word, and there are some new programs added in the package, but seriously, I can't stand white and sharp lines and the chosen font of the letters was just fucking awful. I dread Windows 8 if it's the same as the Microsoft Word 2013.... oh, wait, it is.
So sorry, but Win 8 is a no go for me. Maybe I could learn to tolerate it on some touch-screen phone, but on my laptop screen, I want to see my pretty little backgrounds, thank you very much! Since my brother had introduced me to Windows 7, I became enamored with the program - all witty and pretty and gay, that it was, and I am still fascinated enough to have it on my laptop while looking weirdly at the colleagues who do have the next version popped on their hard drives. Although, on the subject of Microsoft Office... it loads slo-o-o-ow. Why, I don't know, but at the rate it had been going, I almost thought to ditch the thought of the Miccy's and load on Open Office - which is almost the same, only it's a freeware version without Miccy's logos and pretties and whatnot.
On the writing front, I am dithering a little - holy shit it's that time already! - however, Anatomy will steal excruciatingly big piece of my time until I do away with the exam, although I do have some ideas for the stories.
See ya next time (hopefully,)
