A new post...

So, it's been a while. Been flat out at uni handing in assignments and such. So, after king kohl's enticing link to a dude playing crotch catch (the one word that comes to mind is "WHY?"), I'll make another post. As soon as I think of somthing to post about...

*tries to make a new folder*
Ah, a random error message in windows vista! Great, I'll just crap on about it for a while.
*works out what error message means*
*checks windows problem reports dialogue*
"This problem was caused by SPLITTER.AX (Follow the steps in the article to unregister this binary, e.g. regsvr32 /u SPLITTER.AX). SPLITTER.AX (Follow the steps in the article to unregister this binary, e.g. regsvr32 /u SPLITTER.AX) was created by Haali Media.
A solution is available that will solve this problem."
*follows link*

What the... Fantastic, microsoft's solution to the problem is either use some fancy registry hack, or to simply turn off thumbnails.
*tries both*
So, the problem still exists. Google is my friend.
*google's problem*
So, it turns out that due to some obscure dos command you can't call a folder "CON". Never mind the fact that the command is used in a completely different context to file and folder navigation. WHY DON'T YOU SAY THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!
*reads posted material*
Ha, you're still reading. This is more random than filmguru's cat crusade.

So, in short. Apple ads about windows error messages right, Microsoft full of crap.
*finds ubuntu linux disk*
This should fix everything. *maniacal laugh*

I really think I should get some sleep...
