x64 Will Die

Today is the day I leave the 64bit world behind me and go back to the safety of x32 XP Pro.

Why?

Because Windows XP x64 is the most cunswuppery piece of crap ever released to market. Nothing works on it!

My printer doesn’t work, no freakin’ webcams work on it, Paperport doesn’t work, OllyDbg doesn’t work … the list goes on.

It plain sucks donkey balls. So today it goes back to the shop to be fixed. And this is a first for me – normally I do all of this work myself – after all, I work in IT!

Sometimes it just isn’t worth it. I deal with tech problems a lot and sometimes you just want to give the problem away and say “here – you deal with it”.

Chefs eat out from time to time, so I’m doing just that. I’m dragging its sorry ass down to the shop that built it, handing it over and paying them to exorcise the demon that is x64.

It will die, oh yes .. it will die. And whilst it is being scrubbed off my hard drive I shall enjoy a drink or two awaiting the phone call to come and collect the nice shiney XP Pro install.

I can’t wait 🙂

After yet another interesting call with one of my real-life contacts, I was struggling to come up with a word to describe the mind numbing idiocy that I had just had to deal with … and some random bashing on the keyboard delivered this :

fufsioud fhiosa cunswcup

Drop the last c from the last word and you get my new insult.

Which I really kind of like …

You have to wonder how some companies check their online status. For over 12 hours I was unable to check my one of my email addresses (onetel.com). Yet the network status site still proclaimed that everything was active and responding. No problems here ‘guv – honest!

I think they must have someone who pops by every now and again and checks that all the lights are green or something.

What you say? What if the machine has crashed? Oh no my good fellow, it can’t have! The light is green.

*sigh*
