Let just restart now.

Windows just reminded me why I don’t like it. I just resumed Vista (vmware fusion uses the hibernate function of windows) when I copied a file over…and the system promptly restarted itself. No warning whatsoever. There probably was supposed to be a dialogue box to click on, but no such box appeared because the OS had just been resumed. Only IDIOTS thinks it’s a good idea to restart your computer for you if you DON’T tell it not to. I would send a letter to Microsoft if I thought anyone would read it AND have any authority to change it. I hope for all their customers sakes that they have corrected this aberrant behavior in windows 7 or beyond. I gave up on windows (except through a VM for rare occasions) after barely becoming proficient with Vista. This means that all windows 7/8/RT/”insert rubbish here” using family and friends will have to figure stuff out on their own. I do mac and linux. Don’t need unstable operating systems.

Timing is everything

I love it when people I know who live in totally different parts of the country, and who wouldn’t know each other from the prime minister of South Africa, take part in a colossal joke on facebook. A joke really is mostly about timing anyway, and the right thing said right before another right thing can be amazingly funny.

The Plan

A flower may wilt, and beauty may fade
but the God who created refuses to change.

His promise not temporal, his power not fading

Divine inspirer gave his plan away.

 

Follies of persons on earth, bound to earth.

Never impeding the showering of love

but heading His call, do every good deed

Until the world knows; their reward then received.

 

A bigger plan ever, than man could devise

Is acted in sequence before the unwitting.

A shame that no knowledge can reach the unwilling

Who live for fulfilling

the desire of the eyes.

 

Rise and show yourself strong.

Selah

The funniest thing just happend.

I had a waking nightmare that I was still working in windows.

I clicked with my left mouse button and instead of selecting, it popped up the options menu. I don’t know how many of you guys remember the glitch in windows where you click with the left mouse button and windows thinks you are clicking with the right button, but it used to happen to me all the time. Sometimes I could just click the right button, then the left, and windows would figure out that they weren’t the same button, but many times I would have to restart the system in order to fix the glitch. I’ve never worked on a version of windows that can keep up with me. I am a patient individual most of the time, but when it comes to waiting for things to load, I’m no more patient than I have to be. Windows was always glitching out on me.  (Vista’s no exception Paul.)

So, how in Lion was I popping up the options menu while simply left clicking?

My elbow was resting on the control button. That’s how.
