CloverField; No Country For Old Men

Cloverfield was AWESOME. No Country For Old Men was AWESOME.

If you watch both films, you can understand why it brought to my mind Stephen King's answer to the question "Why do bad things happen to good people?" His answer was:

"Because they can."

My Dream Home

... according to http://www.directhomefind.com/dream-home. Discovered on necramirez.blogspot.com.

Your home is a Gamer's Hideout Your kitchen is stocked with chips, dips, and assorted caffeinated beverages. There's a pantry with emergency backup caffeinated beverages. You also have some breakfast cereals in there, but you haven't had breakfast since last Spring. Your master bedroom has blankets printed with images of Mario and Link. Your study includes unread copies of various gamer magazines, each purchased for the free demo CDs. One of your garages houses your Hummer, and others contain your H2, and H3... with room for an H4, if they ever invent one. Your home also includes a roost for griffons. You've never actually seen a griffon, but you keep the roost ready anyway. Your guests enjoy your collection of every console and associated game ever made. Except the Intellivision -- those controllers drive them NUTS. Outside is the moat that protects your home from goblin invaders and extended family. Below is a snippet of the blueprints:

Vista Sucks

I have a new workstation at the office and it came pre-installed with Windows Vista. It was working fine for a few days but now I've seen what a stupid piece of flaming shit vista is. I had 75 Gb of free space last night. Today, I have 1.55Gb free. I used FreeCommander's nifty feature of displaying the folder sizes so I could easily track where the culprit was. Lo and behold. It's in

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Search\Data\Applications\Windows\Projects\SystemIndex\SystemIndex.Crwl14.gthr

The little bugger needs 70Gb to index a 160Gb drive? Useless. When I finish my current critical tasks, I'm going to have to go back to XP and maybe Linux.
