Windows fun.

I just tried to do something really simple - create a new NTFS partition on my laptop in the ~4GB of unpartitioned space on it. Unfortunately that is too complicated for Windows, and so it wipes out the root of my Linux partition while it’s at it. Yay, now I get to do two OS installs instead of just one.

Windows x64 is still a pain in the butt, programs rarely exit cleanly if they are more complex than a web browser. Games randomly reboot the machine during play. What the hell, why can a program like that be able to do that? Isn’t that what all this data execution prevention crap is all about?

I don’t know how Windows users put up with this.

Yesturday we (myself, James, Laska and Michelle) saw a game between Adelaide Avalanche and Central Coast Rhinos. Well, not so much a game, but a complete thrashing: 8 - 1. Though I did come in expecting Adelaide to win hands down, with Adelaide being at the top of the ladder.

The first period nobody scored. In the second period the two teams played more offensively and less defensively. In the third period, the Rhinos played more defensively, and I thought they were more demoralized and focused on damage control. The rhinos’ players were taken off a few times.

After the [STRIKEOUT:game] bloodmatch, we headed to the city, did a bit of a survey and got dinner at an expensive city café. After, there was some ice cream eaten, and we headed out to Marion. Met up with some of Laska’s friends and played a couple of games at Marion.

Now, for some more coding fun. Trying to get mod_python session management to work...
