[X] My Assistant

Wow, optical fiber didn't work in the end.
I didn't expect *look nervously at the dsl stuff that was never put away* that, no really, I trusted my ISP and the technicians, really really...not (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif)

I totally hate the new Outlook. The new design is heavy on the CPU and the interface constantly flash whether I want to view new emails or write a message. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Going to go back to windows 8.1 today. Anything I should do with my fresh install?

Remove it and go back to Windows 7.
Barring that, Classic Shell and disable the charms bar.

I don't know why, but I like 8.1 I prefer it over 7. but that can be because back when I used 7 I still didn't know jack shit about computers. Disabling the charms bar was one of the first things I did. I'm used to the 8.1 feel so I'll skip Classic shell.

I'll stop trying to convince you; you're obviously an insane maniac if you prefer 8.1 over 7 and 10 (especially 7), and I value my not being murdered.

Just installed MadVR and LAVfilters just to see some subs...display, i couldn't even manually check what subs to choose thanks to incompetent encoder not tagging streams properly and me not having at least Haali splitter installed.


And also installed Everything, i couldn't handle Win7's atrocious step back from XP's searching, i can't even search for a string in files with Win7...i'm almost ready to install some type of wingrep, hmmmmm.

I felt like pulling my hair out at first too, but once I started using my tablet (the big switch for me) it started feeling a lot better. 8/8.1 wasn't meant for a desktop, it was meant for a touch device.

A few times, I've spotted IP addresses from Afghanistan, Iran and the Palestinian state on my torrent client's peer lists. Maybe I shouldn't be at all surprised if one day I see someone from Syria is downloading through a torrent client.

I got people form Iran recently accessing my stuff.

This is also a very interesting distribution of where crawlers and spiders are located.

Surprised that for a nation that's all too eager on cracking down messenger clients, VPN & western contents, they allow P2P/torrents.

And I just remembered. There was that one time where I saw an IP address originating from Iraq. Yeah, I shouldn't be surprised when one day I'll the Syrian flag in the peer list. But still, how is that even possible? There's internet connection in Afghanistan & Iraq good enough for P2P sharing?

On another note, should we be worried by M$'s attempt to buy Github?

On another note, should we be worried by M$'s attempt to buy Github?

Yes, very.

M$ (or Oracle or IBM) buying policy is: buy, let it rot, deprecate, destroy. I already started moving most of my stuff ti bitbucket.

It's official. Github belongs to M$.

Saw this today when going there. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

Has it changed since 2007?
I don't use MS office anymore, but the last version I did regularly use was 2003, which I refused to upgrade from.

RIP.
Looks like I'm gonna move my stuff to GitLab now instead of 'later'.
(I work occasionally on a text-based HTML game engine in the vein of CoC, and also have another account for my non-porn stuff).

7.5b in MS stock to acquire GitHub...i don't think it was worth that.

My bad. I was talking about Outlook.com (or Outlook Mail).

I had to cover for someone who was on sick leave to do a slideshow presentation in front a group of govt staff and because my laptop didn't have Powerpoint installed, I resorted to use Portable LibreOffice. Unfortunately, due to compatiblity bugs related to Office OpenXML filter (formatting is all off and inability to edit Excel chart in the .pptx file), I was berated by the govt for using a "substandard" software.

Where by "substandard" you mean something you paid shitloads of money despite having a free alternative and are now arguing your knowledge of software to make sure that decision is seen as correct. Right, sir?

Office OpenXML is a mess.
