Why you never share a computer…

Filed under: General — Ama @ 10:24 am

Why you should never share a computer with a programmer:

Once again I cannot get into the linux side, and windows xp2 is completely in ruins so I’m stuck with minimal activity, or I’ll crash. Why can’t I get into linux? Because I’m sharing MY computer (thats right, MY computer: he literally melted HIS) with a bloody programmer that can’t keep his little mitts to himself and leave bloody linux damn well alone so I’m not constantly fighting to get IN to linux each and every day. And the only reason I’m even ON linux is at his insistance and because he wont update windows for me, something I wouldn’t even know how to do. Linux is NOT for the non-programmer, I have no idea how to do anything with the stupid thing and am force to rely constantly on my partner to install and update stuff - no wonder the stupid thing isn’t very popular and windows is still on top, they make the damn thing bloody useless to the normal person!!!

As to my darling partner… if this happens again I’m forsaking linux all together, I’m sick and tired of being left locked out of what you have now left me dependant on since it has all my damn files. YOU WILL REINSTALL WINDOWS THIS COMING HOLIDAY. PERIOD. I’m TIRED OF THIS!

This is absolutely the most brilliant suggestion ever. If Microsoft were to do this I might even start using their XSLT processor again.

I have mountains of code that would see an immediate upgrade and vast improvement if I wasn’t constrained by the lack of 1.1 support.

I was just saying the other day that the only thing holding me back from large-scale XSLT apps is the lack of dyn:evaluate() and the result tree fragment problem.

In fact, maybe I’ll start looking at the XSLT code in Mono right now.
