Mood:  irritated

I was sitting next to my computing table in a corner of my house, feeling blank but irritated. Mickeysoftwa did it again! On late July me and my fiance Vinnie II we updating and reinstalling the whole completeness again into my old table comp, even doubled the memory size to make it better able to meet todays demandings. The funny thing now is that I could do the picture handling stuff better with the old settings than with the new ones. And if I have to look for an excuse for the source of my irritation that was easily picked to be the allmighty Microsoft.

But why to blame Bill Gates and his crew for my own mistake? Well simple. It`s the question about swapspace of these beloved Microsoft products. Fortunately Windows XP (Home at least but Pro should too but not been testing this with any XP Pro machine yet.) already is able to get more swapspace from the disk if needed - but 98 doesn`t.
And I guess the problem gets a new aspect in the stripped Windows 98Lite. But I`m still glad there`s no MSIE in the 98Lite. Instead, I have had Mozilla installed in there. Better privacy - safer surfing, not so much browser hijack attempts and trojans.

So, since there`s new, surprising co-operation bugs betheen my old comp, Win98Lite and PSP7 I had to dig up an empty CD-rom and burn the picture I was handling on it, to be able to transfer it on my laptop where I had MSN Messenger 6 open and a discussion going on with my mate. I give 9 from the smoothness and fastness Nero Express worked and I got the pic rather quicly burned on CD-rom.

But like if all the frustration I hadn`t been enough when trying to shrink the picture in the question in a more decent size, Mickeysoftwa stroke again. My laptop runs Win XP Home and I had couple of web browser pages, 2 messenger discussions on and a freshly burned CD-rom-to-be-opened when XP jammed for the first time. Whined about the lack of memory which the table machine had been complaining too. In total the XP of mine got jammed for 4 times, on each time that much long that Vinnie II already got worried about me and for a reason. When my own machines ain`t working in the way I want, I get violentical thoughts for them which always don`t stay on the level of thoughts. The good news for the enployers and everybody else is that I never get that aggessive with their machines. I guess it`s because my parents always tauch me to treat other people`s stuff with gentle hands. Instead, when I have bought the thing myself just for me and my use, I can expect myself to know the limits of my machine too. And it`s just and only me who suffers if I`d suddenly throw my comp through the window on the top floor.

Curious to know if got the picture shunk?
Nope. I didn`t, at least by the time I`m writing this (6.10pm on the following day). Messenger cut the sending operation every time adter some time when I tried to send it to Vinnie II so he could shrink it with his much more powerful comp. And after sulking enough I had gotten so hungry that I was feeling sick already. (I had gotten up at 8 and only thing I had eaten by that moment (it was a bit before 8pm) was a small mugfull of Pepsi Max, some 180g share from 200g of milk chocolate bar/plate.)

I still may try to shink the pic using my laptop when there`s no other programs running at the same time or then be a good mouse and take the CD-rom to my parents` place and use the PSP7 on their number cursher to get the picture smaller, so that I can do the final handlings and publish it in Technodrome and The Modo Fan Club.
Yes, it`s a Modo-pic.
